IMO anyone in Hollywood who starts out thinking they have a show that will last 6 seasons and plans story arcs to cover that many would be viewed as as a egomaniac. Especially a show with a concept not already shared by 20 other shows(see NCIS, any medical soap opera). I am sure most writers, directors, and actors are nervous wrecks waiting to hear if the show will be renewed one more season and they can continue to keep their girlfriend/boyfriend/bookie/drug dealer supplied with money. Most shows keep the same formant, become predictable because its the safe thing to do. Changing story lines, characters lives is risky and can result in homelessness.
