TB was awesome despite a couple of weaker seasons.

Save the cheerleader. Save the world.

It sucked after S3 but s1-2 were great

 

[Keith]

True Blood was decent for a couple of seasons not so much after that. Never seen Heroes but I get the feeling it’s a similar story with that.

 

[John McHenry]

I'm going with True Blood because while some of the show was terrible it has more good episodes than Heroes. I mean after the writers strike mid season 2 Heroes went to shit.
