The Devastating Downfall Of Heroes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- When NBC's Heroes first debuted in 2006, it was drastically ahead of it's time in the superhero genre. Airing 2 full years before Iron Man came out, Heroes was a very different look at what superhero stories could be. Though as the series progressed into season 2, the Writers Guild of America went on strike and Heroes would never recover.

As flawed as Heroes ended up being, Sylar is still one of my favorite characters of all time.
He was great early in but they jumped into his popularity the wrong way by having him flip flop good and evil
He was brilliant in season one, but they Turned a great main villain into an anti hero which ruined his mystique for me
Easily my favorite villain of all time, he is a genuinely deep and understandable yet undoubtably evil character and has just an incredible self-dynamic
@@johnrb0213the show had gold in it.
I stopped watching when they turned Sylar into Nathan Petrelli. I was like "what a stupid piece of..." but I love LOVE Seasons 1 and 2 Sylar.
Heroes is my utimate example for why some shows only ever need one season and audiences/studios need to learn how to be content with a well-executed concept that isn't franchised to crap
I'll forever mourn Heroes. I still wish they could reboot it, but it'll be near impossible to find someone who can match Zachary Quinto's Sylar performance
They did . It's called Heroes Reborn

Hear me out...Antony Starr as sylar

@Nix91 That's just one show among hundreds and hundreds.
@Nix91I say that's more the CEO's responsibility for even hiring these types and greenlighting that stuff in the first place, but I get what you mean
This was my absolute favorite show during season 1. It had so much mystery and intrigue behind it. There were so many theories and forums dissecting all of the little easter eggs and hints throughout each episode. The build up to the conflict between Peter and Sylar was amazing.
Ughhh so much potential wasted.
I loved Heroes, S1 was a masterpiece. I watched S2-4 and despite the massive drop is writing I still enjoyed it, I know its bad but has become a guilty pleasure show.
It was an amazing TV series to tune into collectively watch together with friends and family and share conversations with.
It was the later episodes that dropped off the cliff and I wish they'd never happen but despite them, it was awesome, awesome as SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES!!!!!
I'll tell you a lil story about a show called Agents of Shield, but I know I'll just end up being your hype man by the 3rd response...
@@howHumamagents of shield season 1 is a bit boring but when they started doing their own thing separate from the movies it was amazing. I love fitz and Simmons since season 1 but the what if world is awesome
heroes was unique, creative and well written. yes the latter seasons weren't as good as earlier seasons nonetheless far superior to most everything being put out by studios these days.
@@mikenichols3849 Oh god yes, I rather takes heroes 1 amazing season and 3 meh seasons over 99% what is on right now.
Syler (at least in the first season) is one of my favorite villians. He was amzing at skulking around and attacking people like a villian. It was like if we got a longer Cell Saga when he was first form and hunting people
😂 imperfect cell
Although S2 is where the wheels fell off, you cant deny that the worst sin they did that season (Besides introducing the plot of the brothers that went nowhere) was leaving Caitlyn stranded on the future *AND NEVER GIVING THAT STORY A CONCLUSION OR A FOLLOW UP!!*
And they fucked over DL so hard 😭😭😭
Who was Caitlyn?
Didn't Hiro meet her as an old woman in the present?
@@Cadence733 it was the waitress Charlie. Like, they made a whole case in-universe the reason why time travel won’t be a Deus ex Machina, but that went away real fast smh
If you are afraid that AI can do a better job than you, then you aren’t very good at your job
I was recently writing for a video game project where the lead programmer tried to "improve" my work using ChatGPT instead of asking me to edit things myself.
He was so proud when he showed us what he'd done, and after reading it all I could think was: "look how they massacred my boy." The fact that he couldn't immediately tell how shoddy it was made me realize just how blind non-writers are to the complexity of the craft.
I'm of the personal belief that ChatGPT "could" prove to be a valuable tool to writers. However, that is completely marred by the fact that most companies seek to decrease cost and increase profits, even if that means cutting out the human element of most work. The bigger problem with that is they are trying to make a "tool" that replaces the tool "user". A tool is only so good as the one that weilds it
It might be an indication that your work was also pretty poor 😂
@@jakerockznoodles | I know you're just joking, but as a point of pride I feel I should mention my work was voted best in the class back in university. It's the one thing I'm actually decent at.
@@porakiyadraekojin3390 | Exactly! It's likely that artists/writers who learn how to utilize AI to their advantage will replace those who do not... but it'll still mean less jobs to go around overall.
This sort of problem will only grow worse as automation grows more aggressive. Capitalism wasn't designed to work in such a system.
Me being a programmer and seeing chatGPT: "oh God... no way he did this... such a terrible decision"
I was so invested in heroes when it first came out. The super power mystery aspects of the story were pretty unique for a series at the time, but I felt by the end of season 2 they had ran out of new ideas and the mystery aspect felt more and more forced and generic. They added forgettable new characters who just made it a bit convoluted, but the occasional new interesting charecters always seemed to go nowhere or be wasted (christopher Ecclestons invisible man for example). I never managed to finish the series, it reminded me of prison break in a way, a good interesting story with a good cast but started to feel monotonous and stale
The twins in season 2 really brought down the show. Season 3 was the clear evidence of the strike as they rushed the opening episodes extremely quickly. I think season 4 was actually well done (not as great as season 1 but still well done).
Season2 was greatly affected by the strike. The quality dropped like crazy. Any idea from s2 was killed off in s3 😂
@@Whatacomedian_ tbf I had no idea about the strikes when I originally watched season 2 but on retrospect it definitely makes sense
@@Ironica82 didnt even know they were twins. i had to google it real fast.
This... THIS 100% is what I remember about the previous WGA strike. It was so glaring that the show failed because of the strike. This show is the real world example that the studios need to remember.
Same, I’ve always brought this up to people since then, it’s always my go to example when I talk about that strike….
Same. Every time I hear Heroes and why it failed. I say 2007 Writers Strike. Boom.
The teasers for the show were so bone chilling, especially when Haydens cheerleader just gets back up after taking a nose dive and says its her 10th attempt at dieing or however many times she tried. It was amazing, shocking, and nothing like I'd ever seen before. I have a soft spot for the show and its sad what became of it.
I remember a scene where she'd cut off her toe, praying it would grow back! I was horrified at the time!
Hollywood's entire business model revolves around creating stories, and yet they regularly undervalue and mistreat their writers.
Constructing narratives is an incredibly complicated and difficult task, but because it's hard to appreciate the skill required compared to visual art-forms, executives assume anyone can do it. Yet I'd argue bad writing is the only thing that can single-handedly destroy a film or show. A bad actor or special effect can be overlooked, but never bad writing.
That’s true. Proof of this is how a good book will always be remembered over its crappy multi-million dollar film adaptation
On the other hand Hollywood has shown mostly abysmal writing the past 3-4 years. Was that all AI? Doubt it.
Season 1 was incredible.
It was and to see what happened to it… ugh it bums me out to no end
Probably the best season.
Season 1 was phenomenal. Seminal moment in TV. I have nothing but good memories, filled with nostalgia, for season 1.
Yes, the last season was full of unresolved plot threads
@@AnthonyScott5425 The only negative memory of season one I have is the final "fight". It was built up for see long to just basically be throwing a few fists and then the hero is shown to be the one who blows up. I understand they couldn't do a huge cgi battle due to budget, but that was kind of a let down.
Fun Fact: The character of Claude, who has the power of invisibility, is named after Claude Rains who appeared in The Invisible Man (1933).
appeared?
@@NoNameAtAll2lol
He was also the 9th Doctor 😁
I think Hero's was one of the biggest losses after the writers strike. That first season was amazing and the rest were very pitiful.
I actually met the actor who plays Nathan. Dude was so humble and kind.
I've always felt that the style and tone of heroes season one would be a really good way to do mutants in the MCU and truly give it that feeling of everyday people developing extraordinary abilities.
This show started off soooo amazing.😢
Too bad "Pusing Daisies" got shut down also, I used to enjoy that show too😢
I miss Heros every time I see an MCU project 😢
Watched heroes as a kid and LOVED IT (despite the lackluster later seasons). I tried to rewatch it during the pandemic and couldn’t get past season 2.
It’s crazy that heroes hasn’t been picked up again after the superhero boom. Tbh I wanna see the version of heroes that the writers envisioned. Different characters per season sounds really cool!
There was hero’s reborn but that didn’t pan well in the end.
I feel like right before the 2010s superhero boom was the last time a show like Heroes could have worked. Heroes was essentially a superhero show for people who don't like traditional superhero narratives. It took the concepts you'd see in comic books and presented them through the lens of a conventional drama. It would feel retrograde in an era where the mainstream more readily accepts comic book silliness.
I wouldn’t even say they “failed”. I enjoyed the show from start to finish. You can tell somewhere along the way they had struggles with writing the story but they gave it a decent ending. Could have been better but it’s hard to ignore just how good the plot started with
Thing is, great that you liked it, but it still failed.
Yea, it definitely failed. I watched it all the way, and it was never able to regain the first season's appeal.
I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times.
Heroes didn't fail because of the writer's strike. That was just coincidental timing.
The primary reason that Heros failed is because they didn't make it an anthology show. That was one of their original plans and they chickened out.
The reason that season 1 was so compelling is because it was about normal people trying to live their normal lives and being thrust into a world beyond their understanding. It was about coming to terms with this strange, scary, wonderful new ability that made them different. That made them unique. It was about coming to grips with a part of yourself that you didn't ask for and maybe trying to live the life you wanted to or maybe make something more of your life now that something has changed.
All of that was gone season 2. It would have been gone regardless of the writers strike. And that was the magical, relatable, compelling part of season 1.
Season 2 failed because it wasn't about a new group of heroes coming to terms with their powers.
It was painfully obvious that Tim Kring never had a plan for what to do with any of the main characters after the whole bomb thing. The show was trapped in painful loops. Claire and HRG ... were just ... kinda doing the same stuff. Claire was totally envisioned around the "Save the cheerleader" thing no arc imagined for her after that. Characters like Hiro/Peter/Sylar had powers that broke the narrative. That wouldn't have been a problem if their stories were allowed to end, but they got too popular.
I agree with this. I feel like they tried to make shocking moves and kill off characters, but then they would just show back up and nothing felt permanent.
@@elkeyes It takes nerve to kill off characters. You have to be able to accept the hit that some fans will be upset for the gain of increased tension. Because once you walk back enough story decisions … the story has lost all sense of stakes
In my opinion making the show anthology show was a big mistake from the start. When you have large ensemble cast with many great actors/actresses, audience will connect with them instantly. Do you honestly think majority of audience were gonna be ok if peter was killed off even when he was one of the most impactful characters?
Lets not forget they did introduce some new characters in s2 and most of them were complete trash.
As already pointed out Tim Kring never had a long term plan or backup plan for what to do with any of the main characters after s01. The show had a wonderful cast and yet on the show they hardly in scenes together. How many times hiro and peter had a scene together? or peter and claire? or hiro and claire? or mohinder and hiro?
@@hasan_1888 I think Kring clearly built a lot of these characters with the assumption there would be 100 episodes of story about them. Peter, Hiro, and Sylar are ridiculously overpowered. Once you’ve gotten beyond the conceit that they aren’t good at their powers yet, they are basically gods. That is just the beginning of how this show just wasn’t sustainable with the same cast. If anything Season 2 needed to be like “Most of the original cast is gone. But Mohinder, HRG, and the Paper Company still exist. We are following mostly new characters with the potential for cameos. But the story is going to be a standalone thing you didn’t need to see Season 1 to enjoy”
I remember watching that show as a teenager. Season 2 was such a letdown that I stopped watching it entirely halfway through.
It feels like the writers have been on strike since 2007 to be honest.
I’m pretty sure that AI will make a better job than the morons that are creating monstrosities on netflix, amazon prime and Hollywood in general
Then why did the studios choose to negotiate with the writers instead of just replacing them?
If movies have shown us anything then AI has no heart. I can’t imagine sitting through a series or movie completely written by AI and feel the same way I do about my favorite movies and shows
Well, the writting for tv/movies it's being quite bad/boring for several years now... so nothing lost with the strike.
Exactly
As late as it came in the show, "I am Sylar" is clearly the best episode of the show, hands down.
If they could have kept the series going the way the first season did, it would have been amazing. That first season was a freaking juggernaut!
Dude this show came and went so fast. The first few seasons was so amazing
Bot
For me, the strike during Heroes had a bigger effect as, though online things were there, it was nothing like it is today. Back then, tv was the main pass time for my family. Now, however, it has been around five years since I had regular tv (I use Chromecast) and most long standing franchises have gone too downhill for me to even watch them in theater (there is only one movie I want to see on big screen in the second half of this year). With the huge takeover of the internet, I don't think as many people shall notice the strike this time around.
It was a one season idea they just couldn’t let go .
Season 1 is some of the best TV I’ve ever seen.
This sort of reminded me of the situation with Stranger Things, it was originally supposed to be an anthology sort of, a new group of people each season sort of
When that show debuted, I absolutely loved it. I got a chance to see superheroes i didn't know about and follow the story on a weekly basis. I did notice the story slipping a little when Sylar was the ONLY bad guy they concentrated on
the writers where probably told to focus on him because he was a fan favorite. writing often suffers due to pandering.
If Heroes was a mini series or short run show as how they are making now it would never be seen as a failure.
God damn I miss Heroes. Such a shame it was cancelled after only one season.
At least part of the problem though is that lots of people want to be writers, and there are a lot of writers putting out bad work.
An example of 8 seconds of great screen writing before the strike....
Hiro: "He`s my billon"
Nathan: "What`s that?"
Hiro: "Billon"
Nathan: "Billon?"
Hiro: "Billon"
Nathan: "V-illain"
Hiro: "V?"
Nathan: "V."
Hiro: "Vee-lee-on"
First season was nothing short of true cinematic perfection.
It was an amazing TV series to tune into collectively watch together with friends and family and share conversations with.
It was the later episodes that dropped off the cliff and I wish they'd never happen but despite them, it was awesome series, awesome as SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES!!!!!
Season one was pretty great, but it seems like a huge stretch to say that it helped paved the way for the MCU. The Spider-Man and X-Men movies had already done that.
Don’t you get the feeling.. You were meant to do something extraordinary.
If A.I. takes over, I don’t know how people can think that there won’t be a huge dip in quality and originality
I remember when I got into Heroes after it ended, everyone I talked to about it said, "Oh yeah, I loved that show." Then I'd talk about anything past season 1, and people would go, "It had more than one season?"
Wow, what a perfect timing. I'm exactly about to rewatch Heroes, since I watched it when I was at school and I only remember the first seasons.
Despite I heard many times that the series fell apart with each season, it's still interesting to check how did it all end.
One of my favorite shows aside from LOST in that time period. It felt realistic in certain respects. Maybe not as the film Unbreakable but still was a blast, in the first season.
Lost slipped up too… their ending felt SO rushed. It almost killed the entire series for me…
And don’t even get me started on the cop out “it was purgatory, let’s go to heaven, now,” Script writing.
@@andyackerman7123But it wasn't purgatory. They did go to heaven at the end, though.
@@FringeMusic107 essentially, that’s exactly what it was…they were put thru trials and tribulations, earning a ticket to heaven…. And since they went to heaven, they were already dead… making that purgatory…
@@andyackerman7123 That only applies to the off-island storyline during the show's final season, though. Most of the main characters die long after the show's main story ends. The final scene/twist does not impact the earlier seasons.
It was basically a superhero show for people who don’t like superhero shows lol.
Boy I was OBSESSED with this show when it came out, it was the first show I ever became obsessed with, and I still maintained if season 2 had stuck with its original plan, the show might not of gone the way it had.
There was nothing like this at the time. RIP to the later seasons
The biggest mistake this show made was waiting till episode 8 of season 2 to reveal what happened to Nathan and Peter. The views already fell off by then because the show shifted focus from the mythology the audience was invested in. On top of that they introduced too many new annoying characters no one gave a crap about.
I remember the flash foward in season 1, think it was 5 yrs and showed the aftermath of everyone's powers and it was like the future scene from the 1st terminator films, we just never got to see it look that good in full
The short answer is because of the writer's strike. They changed writer's after the first season, and it was downhill from there.
The same thing happened to Lost.
Ohoho, Heroes.. why it failed. For example, the scripting in later seasons was so awful. You see two characters talking at home, then going somewhere, then returning to home. Seinfeld, a TV Series about nothing, had more plot and interesting scenes than this.
IIRC, one of the reasons Exodus was scrapped was that it did terribly with focus groups in the early stages, when they'd already prepared the "bad ending" to Generations where the virus gets out and had to change it late into development. Which is a shame, because dropping that also meant basically pretending everything Peter did in season 2 never happened.
I felt that the flaws of Heroes started in the first season, and that the second season ended up with a narrative debt that it couldn't overcome. It made for a good first season, but it didn't leave the show with anywhere to go unless it nerfed everyone's powers. While I think Season 2 could have been improved without the writer's strike, the fact is that the writers were present for the first 11 episodes, and yet those problems still remained.
At one Point this was my favourite Show but then…
5 month ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with memories of a tv show which I saw over 10 years ago. Lingering with good memories of this show, I ordered all seasons. Although I can't remember the plot of the seasons, but I know one thing "Save the cheerleader, save the world!". Until now I had no time to rewatch the show.
It's crazy that after such a long time someone recalls this series beside me.
I was blown away by Season 1 - the story line, the characters, the VFX for a TV show, everything. I think I stopped watching after Season 2. Then it was a massively long time before I returned to finish it to see how it all ended
Season 1 ,a timeless masterpiece. Everything else Lost level of bad, incoherent plot, moronic character development.
I actually liked the first season of this show. Maybe it suffered from Lost syndrome.
Is Lost Syndrome "too many questions, not enough answers"? Because they wrote themselves too deep so no answer would be satisfying
Poor show. It was so good but crumbled pretty fast after first season
Heroes, Lost, Walking Dead were all ground breaking shows at the onset, but somehow faded into obscurity.
The smaller scale of it was one of my favorites things. There wasn't some supervillain with some crazy plans of world domination it waa just a dude who wanted ro understand powers and collect them. It all felt so more personal than the big superhero things
He didn't want to collect powers, he was addicted. Even though he knew it was wrong he still kept doint it because his power came with a need to understand everything which drove him to kill and collect powers.
It's one of the things I liked about him, he was an ordinary person given a terrible hand which forced him to choose between suffering himself or harming others like a lot of criminals feel their situation is(justifying theft for example because they don't have money).
I’m interested to see what the video says, but my opinion has always been that the writers strike that occurred between season 1 and season 2 is what killed Heroes.
one time writers were the heroes of a show. legit
The moment Heroes was lost forever to me was when they killed off a main character and not one person brought up the ability to bring people back, which had been done before and they all were aware of, not even to maybe retcon it to a 'can only be done once' kinda thing, just pretended it never happened, total plot hole too galling to ignore
I remember when this show came out. There was nothing like it. Wish I could relieve the experience of watching it again
You missed the biggest issues with season 2, which are actually addressed in the DVD extras for that series. The plan initially was for the virus to be released, not saved like it was at the end of s2. This essentially killed all momentum for the story moving forward.
They'd already filmed footage for that happening, with future guy smashing the vial and the virus getting into the airwaves. There's even raw pre-CGI clips, along with storyboards for what they intended to do. With the virus out, Texas is effectively quarantined and Nathan ends up infected with the virus. Angela saying "you've opened Pandora's Box now" was supposed to be in reference to the virus, not future Peter showing up and shooting him.
Remember Maya? The woman who had the power to take and give viruses? She was supposed to go out a hero (pun intended) and take in the virus herself, saving Texas and, subsequently, a lot of the characters who may have been infected. In doing so, she killed herself, closing out her character arc in a neat way after feeling like a failure and a walking apocalypse.
The rewritten story and s3 arc retooled is mostly why the show did so poorly. Season 3 tried to up the momentum and spiralled out of control with a two-part arc and then season 4 was just meh. Such a shame too because it had a lot of potential.
Well since the writers guild is on strike I'd expect we'll get good writing because we haven't had that in over a decade while they were not on strike
Don’t know how much to blame the writers strike, but frankly, they kept disregarding the “rules” of how powers worked, and it made everything fall apart.
I honestly don't know when i stopped watching the show, but the alternative realities made me hate characters I once adored and meant that whole plots and episodes were irrelevant.
Season 1 was the only season that I hold dear in my heart.
Let Hollywood crumble….let independent films flourish
It dropped off because they lost direction :(
It started to get good again, but it was just too late…
This was at once one of the greatest superhero show ideas. And a sad tragedy that nonsense killed it if done right. That could have been another supernatural a legendary show good enough. To last nearly 20 years which is rare but still one of my favorite shows until this day. Though I will admit around season four and five the story got dry. It seemed mainly about hiro doing stupid crap simping for Charlie. Which ended up having a whole other life husband and kids and all. Which should be a message to some but yea that part made me hate hiro.
I just re watched this. After all these years, I'm still upset that it ended like this
I loved heroes season 1 so much! That was the last time I remember running home and shifting events around my life just to watch a TV show.
The 2023 strike didn’t effect much just delay shows. And you could say maybe it accelerated the end of some shows like young Sheldon or Blue Bloods but those shows were gonna end anyway.
The 2007 strike happened right at the beginning of the season where a decent amount of episodes for the first part of the season were produced, but it was hard to get production going for the second half because it lasted from November to February. Last lasted from May to September so it was probably easier without disrupting seasons
Still my favourite show of all time.. Based on Nostalgia alone
A.I. is definitely taking over the entertainment and creative industries. I used to do some pretty awesome art work with spray cans. BUT with A.I all you have to do is basically Google type your idea in and it makes it look great if not better than what you originally came up with. Then you can even build on top of that already inputted idea in the matter of minutes. When it would take my spray paint art 9 hours to make the cut outs and then I’d have to wait for the weather outside to be right, and it would take me like 2 days to complete a project. So it’s like speed and creativity are what A.I has which is bad for ppl employed in that field
AI doesn't have creativity. It's plagiarism software. The only ones impressed by what AI is capable of are the ones who were never capable of art and creativity to begin with.
Sylar was a very well written villain to me and is what kept me on this series. Masi is great too how he trained himself to control time. It just started getting bad when Milo lost his powers and Sylar turned good was not a good move. They really killed it by making that Heroes Reborn season. I was very disappointed.
Show blew its creative nut in one season.
I remember watching season 1 as a teen back in 2006-7. Stories were very inspiring and motivational but after the raid on Bennett's house the plot became much more complex and convoluted but the finale was very impressive ! I knew Ali Larter from Final Destination, Adrian Pasdar from a supernatural tv show that was aired on French channel M6 as well as Stana Katic and Zachary Quinto from 24. It was absolutely mindblowing to see the latter going from nerdy tech support to total psychopathic villain ! My respect for him as an actor skyrocketed immensely.
But I never watched any episodes from S2-4, just lost interest after that. I remember Tim Kring apologizing to the fans for the bad plots in the second season and promising more compelling stories after that.
I will never forget watching the Monica storyline where she got taken off in a van. This was the last episode before the strike and I was a teenager checking back EVERY week for one of my favourite shows to return not understanding what was happening. It was devastating at the time and sad Heroes didn't get to have a complete ending.
I remember I was pissed when they didn’t finish the show 😩 I used to check back everyday wondering when they were going to upload the final episode
Season 1 Noah Bennett is some of best acting in the show. You have no idea if he’s good or bad until the very end and they expose everything perfectly without ever giving you to much at once, flawless character in my opinion.
I thought it was because Krieg got sued for plagiarism or copyright issues. They had to rewrite because they were not allowed to follow the original story arc and had to come up with new stuff that did not support the original ideas. That is is why it went downhill from what I remember at least as far as plot and character. I had no idea Season 2 even had that many viewers, it is a different vibe from episode 1.
Honestly needed a bigger budget for fight scenes
I still remember wanting Syler's power to get any power I want.
i really don't understand whats wrong with season 2.. i remembered it as a perfect twist. returned heroes are not given power or have their personality reversed or changed. It shows The human side of superheroes and the good side of villians. its just a perfect twist that brings out the acting of the cast. I still remembered it till this day.
Yea I agree season 2 was nowhere as good as the first but I still wanted more. Yes 3 is deff the worst, but hey compared to reborn it was good. Lol
De-powering Milo's character and killing off the blonde woman with the super-strength...WHYYYYYYYYYYY?????
If you’re asked what superhero powers would you want I had an answer until I saw Heroes then I changed my answer to have Sylar’s powers
I wish we got a re edited version of season 1 that ended with THE END instead of END OF VOLUME ONE.
There were a lot of problems with Heroes but the Writer's Strike wasn't one of them. The real issue was that after S1, they clearly had no idea what to do next.
I think they did have an idea of what to follow up with after season one. I think the studio & the network didn’t trust the idea (basically, seeing a new bunch of heroes emerge to face a new threat in a different, self-contained story) and the producers kept trying to balance what the studio wanted (more of the same thing) and what they wanted (doing the same thing in a different way with different characters) and there really wasn’t a good way to bring them together and satisfy anyone.
The careers of the actors is a clear sign of how tarnished the legacy is.
The strike also killed Pushing Daisies
3:20
That's the part I never got:
- I got a plan for an entertainment thing.
- the plan seems to work
- ok, now throw out the plan.
I remember when this was a stop down must see TV. I remember watching people discussing each episode on G-4 channel.
