Except I think Scalzi and Stephen King have actually created stuff recently.
I don't think Stephen King is physically capable of not writing at least two novels per year.
Vonnegut is ridiculously difficult to adapt to the big or small screen.
I thought both Slaughterhouse-Five and Mother Night worked pretty well as movies. But yeah, it's not really the same thing.
You can't compare it to stuff like Lost or BSG -- which had much bigger budgets and a lot more freedom and time. And in some respects, I actually think it was better than those shows.
If nothing else, as contested as it is, the Buffy series finale didn't screw up as monumentally as BSG (and, I'm told, Lost) did.
