“The Daily Show” Writes Other Shows

- Lost - It turns out the island is actually a peninsula. Boy, are they embarrassed.
- Heroes - The power to keep track of all the new heroes becomes way rarer than invisibility or time travel. Seeking to scrimp on budgets, NBC rolls out an entirely special-effects-free spinoff called Bystanders.
- How I Met Your Mother - The show takes a dark and unexpected turn when Ted’s children are conceived, but then aborted.
- Pushing Daisies - Attempting to revive his strike-threatened show, Ned decides to “touch himself.” Unfortunately, he enjoys it so much he touches himself again, killing the series for good.
