As I said, however, it's an arbitrary limit. Some shows and their creative staff can maintain good quality well beyond six seasons; others can't even get past six minutes. Craig did say they had been struggling so it is possible that Foster's had in fact reached it's limit, but it is also possible that all the team needed was a vacation from the show for a bit, or perhaps an addition or two to the staff, people with fresh ideas (and a proven track record). Ultimately it's Craig's decision, of course, and that is as it should be, but the artificial limit of 78 episodes makes the decision for him, and for every other show as well. Suppose that the Foster's team was not struggling in any way, and indeed had gotten a "second wind" of sorts? What if they'd been on a creative roll? What might be lost in such a case because of this limit? No, I say that every show needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis, as I said earlier. If the ratings are good, and the creative team is happy and wants to continue, then I say let them continue and to hell with this pointless limit... unless of course you relish the idea of watching something called, oh, Kangaroo Samurai Space Gardeners when, had the limit not been in place, you might instead be viewing Good Wilt Hunting 2.

Think about that for a minute.
