Glorious? Wow no. Both seasons have been a disappointment compared to the awesome first season. I really don't like the 'unbelieveable' arguement I hear a lot with movies and shows. A lot of unbelievable shit happens every day in real life. Shit that when you read it, you know that if it was in a tv script, you'd be saying to yourself "there's no way it would happen" but yet it does.

Kano - Most of the shows that started up in the fall go through however many episodes, and then have their holiday breaks and whatnot, always trying to stretch their 20+ episodes out over a 9 month period. More than likely all of the shows that started up in September/October have now run out of anything they had done and it really depends on how long they figure it would take to make new episodes and to stretch their writing story arcs into something salvagable. Most shows figure that with an early/mid February end to the writer's strike, they can produce 5 to 6 more episodes, which we'll see in a couple of months.

The shows that weren't even going to start up until late January, early February such as Lost and 24 both managed to finish 8 episodes before the writer's strike set in. 24 is opting to not air at all until 2009 in keeping with their 'no breaks in between new weekly episodes' format. Lost producers said they figured they could produce 5 to 6 more episodes before the end of the season period and most likely will. It's doubtful we'll see the full 16 episodes this year.

The creator of Heroes declared that he was in doubt they could do more than 3 new episodes in time and that they'll most likely not air anything new until next season.

For whatever reason, it seems that none of the networks want to mess up their scheduling format and air new stuff into the summer.
