Yesterday we asked you to weigh in on fixes for 90210, and today we turn to Heroes. We've read your comments, emails and tweets, and we see that many of you are frustrated about the direction the show has gone. Why are Heroes' once-beloved supers in trouble, and what can be done about it? Here's what we've heard from you, the fans:

Hollywood celebrates the Fourth of July like everyone else in America: fireworks, parades, picnics and firing up the barbie.

Scratch that—reverse it: grill! Americans fire up the grill.

Here's a little irony to spread on your hot dog: Plenty of actors in Tinseltown will be partying alongside us this weekend as we commemorate our independence from the tyranny of...their homeland. Many of our fave red-blooded American TV characters are played by British blue bloods, and that's cool, but let's face it, some accents are better than others.

So which thesps have you fooled, and which make you cry, "Oi!"? Read 'em and rate 'em in our Sham Yankees photo gallery!

Gentle readers, we need your opinion on the following scenario, as depicted on the most recent episode of ABC Family's Make It or Break It gymnastics drama.

Some thugs, of the vaguely threatening semi-rapist variety, encounter a group of pretty girl gymnasts at a gas station. The thugs make with the intimidation and insults. ("Pretty princess" is a slam, right?) What does the modern, empowered, young female athlete do in response?

Press play on the video clip above to see how the girls coped, and then help us decide: Is this the absolute silliest artificial TV response ever, or is it just exactly how Buffy Summers would have handled the situation?

(BTW, if you are enjoying Make It or Break It, be sure to check out our interview with the show runner about this "teen girl show that's really about something bigger than popularity or boys.")

There's no denying it. Vampires are hot.

Fan fangs are sharp, and audiences are out for blood. Forget the garlic and the holy water, we relish the thought of Bill (Stephen Moyer, True Blood) or Damon (Ian Somerhalder, Vampire Diaries) taking a bite out of us. Even Buffy would put down her wooden stake for these vampire hotties.

But lest we forget, vamps have been making our blood boil for decades. (You vampire die-hards may remember Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins in the '60s classic Dark Shadows.)

We've received your emails, comments and tweets complaining about how certain shows are not living up to their potential. Because it's the holiday weekend, and because you fans are very adamant about wanting to change these particular shows, we're giving you a chance to sound off on what you would change about the CW's 90210. (Look for another Pitch a Fix post later this weekend.)

So, what exactly do you fans say is wrong with 90210, and what can be done to fix it? Here's what you've told us so far:

You love the cast. You love the look of the show. The concept rocks and it's entertaining. But the writing? Eh, not so much.

We think there oughta be a word for those shows that have all the makings of success except for the pesky little fact that the scripts simply stink. We would name a few here as examples, but we don't want any show runners coming after us. Oh, OK, you twisted our arms. We'll cite one: CSI: N.Y. (Please don't hate us!)

We've come up with this word: unscriptacular. Can you do better than that? We think you can. Hit the Celebrity Addictionary below and show us what you got.

Is it just us, or have all of the So You Think You Can Dance eliminations this season been perfectly righteous and reasonable? We haven't yet had to face the elimination of a really wonderful dancer (Melissa Sandvig) or a totally endearing personality (Evan Kasprzak). All in all, this season has been pretty copacetic, and tonight brought no change to that standard...

Fair warning: If you're just dying to be shocked and stunned by the Top 14 elimination results and haven't yet hooked up with your DVR, don't click in, dummy!

You know who has fantastic frakking taste in television? Me, myself, I, Jennifer Godwin. Therefore, when I tell you that my second-favorite show on all of TV after Lost is Sons of Anarchy, you should take that business seriously. Anyway, I know this is not my personal blog where I can post TV whateverness willy-nilly, but my extreme passion for SOA overwhelms whatever responsible sensibilities I might pretend have, so this brand spanking new SOA promo is going up, if for no other reason than that new SOA footage is one of the few joyful goings-on in TV-land right now.

When last we saw our favorite Upper East Siders on Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen was heading to Fiji to find her dear old dad.

The mystery man who fathered the blond bombshell and her brother, Eric, has never really been mentioned—only as an aside in tales of their mom's various husbands and escapades—but it seems likely that he might finally become a living, breathing presence on the show next year.

So with all the other exciting casting announcements this week (Hilary Duff, Joanna Garcia), we got to wondering who might score the paternal part. We exclusively chatted up the van der Woodsen kids themselves, Blake Lively and Connor Paolo, and you'll never guess who they think should fill their papa's shoes...

So far, American Idol winner Kris Allen, runner-up Adam Lambert and fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta have all inked recording contracts. But what about the others?

We caught up with the top 10 at their tour rehearsals recently to hear the status of their post-Idol plans. And here's what they have to report...

For the fans who worked really hard to keep Friday Night Lights on the air, don't fret. The announcement of the series ending after two more seasons isn't necessarily set in stone.

Although FNL star Connie Britton recently said the original two-season pickup would likely be the end of the show, she told us, "You never know—if it does do really, really well, maybe they would go on for more seasons."

So what do the possible final seasons hold for the Taylors and the rest of Dillon?

So here's the skinny on the Katie Holmes stuff:

In announcing the establishment of the Dizzy Feet Foundation, an effort to provide scholarship opportunities for underprivileged dancers, Nigel Lythgoe was tickled to also announce that Holmes will be taking the stage for So You Think You Can Dance's 100th episode.

The actress (who's in on the foundation with Lythgoe, Carrie Ann Inaba and Adam Shankman) will be dancing in a Tyce Diorio-choreographed-and-directed tribute to Judy Garland on July 23 and donating her entire appearance fee to Dizzy Feet.

And as for the dancers not yet married to movie stars...

The voters have their work cut out for them, because most of the Top 14 really tore it up tonight—and a few season-five favorites may be in trouble.

But before Caitlin tried to mate with Jason, and Phillip got chained to Jeanine, and Ade scaled Melissa's balcony...Mia Michaels made Brandon cry.
