These are perfect examples of shows who tried to start over again but failed miserably in the process. They're not the ones you want to be putting in the viewer's mind about season six and beyond.

Not sure what else they could have done though - they had the actors and the creator wanted out - CW did not want to give up a cash cow - Epiphany Feb 17, 12:21 2
- Oh, I agree and I think it's the right play to let him pick the successor instead of meddling like CW usually does. -- nm - David Feb 17, 12:22 1
  - Oh I am sure they did try - it also explains why Kripke was not at the 100th episode party - Epiphany Feb 17, 12:24
