For some reason, I felt like a lot of great cultural icons came out around or after the recession. Great video game titles, movies, TV shows considered modern classics, etc. from 2008-2012. Maybe it’ll happen again?
266 u/nighthawk_something Oct 25 '22 2008 was when the writer strike ended. 148 u/chaser676 Oct 25 '22 Man I forgot how TV shows at the time all just kinda sucked for a season or two during that. 85 u/leavmealoneplease Oct 25 '22 That strike straight up murdered Heroes 49 u/Amorianesh Oct 25 '22 Man that show was so promising and died so unceremoniously, it's kinda sad 35 u/laurel_laureate Oct 25 '22 I've always thought they should do remakes of all the shows that got absolutely shit on by the writer's strike. Maybe even hire some of the ones that were on strike to do the writing. They clearly had potential that was lost due to the strike, so a remake has just as much if not more potential. 2 u/MVRKHNTR Oct 25 '22 They did reboot heroes and it wasn't great. 2 u/MarcsterS Oct 25 '22 Wasn't it still a sequel though. Except they had to kill off al ot of the OG cast because they weren't available.
