@heavens_feel didn't season 2 of heroes coincide with a previous writer's strike, which caused them to have to effectively re-plan the rest of the series?

@grey seems that way: "Heroes was heralded as a phenomenon by many when it debuted its first season in 2006 and Season 2 of the series was set to be ambitious, originally designed to contain three volumes — Generations, Exodus, and Villains — as part of its storytelling arcs with 24 planned episodes. However, only 11 episodes aired, the Exodus arc was scrapped entirely due to the strike and Villains ended up carrying into Season 3. There was also a planned six-episode spinoff series, Heroes: Origins that was postponed and then cancelled entirely due to the strike. The series also saw a decline in ratings and while it would ultimately come back for Seasons 3 and 4, the series and its storytelling never fully rebounded."

@grey I think his point is that current stuff is so bad that losing it for a while would be a blessing

@heavens_feel just seemed odd to pick as an example in that tweet about the writer's strike, since it was completely fucked over by the strike and that's why it was so bad. now it may have ended up been bad anyway (since good broadcast tv is an exception, not a rule), but something like Dexter would have been a similar example, the last season being so bad that no one wanted to see it ever again.
