heroes would've been a much better show if it'd just been the sylar show he could've been louder and angier and easily gained access to a time machine and the rest of the time the other characters would've been attempting to find sylar and asking "where is sylar"

lost sputtered out around season 3 because you can't write a story for a potentially infinite length of time. at that point the episodes got so trash they were able to go to the suits and negotiate how much longer the series would last, and then the plot started moving again they still beefed the ending, of course. it was so bad and so famously bad that the joker makes fun of it in one of the batman video games

i'm pretty sure heroes was conceived and pitched as an anthology where they follow a different group of mutants every season. after the first season blew up the network told them they had to keep the characters people liked, and welp.

I guess that means it was ahead of its time because anthology shows are fairly common these days

i mention it because discovery was also conceived and pitched like this and it wasn't until after development started that cbs changed their minds. brian fuller said gently caress it, and the whole production went completely to poo poo for two seasons (so far), with no direction and no one sticking around for more than three or four episodes.

I think the worst show i've ever watched has been the mentalist. The "finale" where he gets his nemesis was so bad. They decided to let it go on for a season after that until it was cancelled. Also all the USA shows, but I love that garbage.
