Of course, I never minded having football and Lost at the same time... then there'd be something to look forward to every three days. <BR/><BR/>Here's hoping they keep the hook set with ARGs and the like in the meantime. I know it might be hard to make the ARGs interesting enough to be rewarding without making participation necessary to make sense of the show overall... but I think there are enough uber-fans out there to make it worth their while.DCrowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569603614507328582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-7935305169744901232007-05-07T18:57:00.000-05:002007-05-07T18:57:00.000-05:00I think this is a good thing, too.

Waiting until Jan/Feb of each year will be tough, but it works with 24. This means just 4 months of hard core obsession each year, which is probably a lot healther for all of us. Like Matt said, we could have more time outside! :-)Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024186205791001584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-50357380438433495342007-05-07T14:59:00.000-05:002007-05-07T14:59:00.000-05:00I agree with a lot of what's been said--I think th...I agree with a lot of what's been said--I think they'd be smarter to finish it in the next two years. People who are really dedicated will probably stay with the show for three years, but I can see it losing viewers each year. 2010? Come on! <BR/><BR/>I started watching "Vanished" last fall, which had a similar structure to Lost--it showed present action as well as flashbacks and had an underlying mystery. I thought it was a well done show, but they cancelled it and the final episodes of the season were only available online. Surely they wouldn't do that to LOST?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-2350058425857067792007-05-07T14:33:00.000-05:002007-05-07T14:33:00.000-05:00Having an end date for LOST is good, but I agree t...Having an end date for LOST is good, but I agree that they should have stuck with only 24 more episodes or maybe 30 max. So now that they chose 48, there should be about 20 "filler" episodes that get us nothing closer to the meaning of the show, kind of like the Paolo and Nikki episode.<BR/><BR/>But the worst part is their timing on starting the seasons. January/February of each year?! That's really stupid, since most people will be tired of waiting that long to pick up on LOST. If they're going to do 48 episodes, they should make them into 2 longer seasons of 24-episodes each (which would make it almost like this season). And there will be a serious problem with keeping it going for another year longer than planned. I love LOST, but most other people are already frustrated we don't have the answers yet. Just wait another year or two... I'm sure LOST will lose a lot more frustrated watchers by the time it's over.melodramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087244009291614535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-12132941919918603802007-05-07T14:22:00.000-05:002007-05-07T14:22:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.melodramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087244009291614535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-29690828814926672232007-05-07T13:31:00.000-05:002007-05-07T13:31:00.000-05:00This works out nicely for me because I spend Augus...This works out nicely for me because I spend August through February obsessing over football.

One of my favorite series was Babylon 5, and one of the reasons it worked was because the whole story arc was predefined, and they could introduce elements and not explain that at that point, letting them be part of the mythology to be explained later. Interestingly that show went long in the tooth because they thought they had to wrap it up in season 4 and did all the big reveals, and then season 5 was completely neutered and i abandoned it out of disinterest.<BR/><BR/>I also hate filler episodes, and this gives them a chance to craft each episode so something is teased out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-84069605493424885042007-05-07T12:02:00.000-05:002007-05-07T12:02:00.000-05:00To the best of my knowledge, no TV show has ever f...To the best of my knowledge, no TV show has ever formally announced the ending to a show this far in advance - and to be honest with you, I doubt anyone ever will again, unless another show comes along with a series-long mystery in the same vein as Lost.<BR/><BR/>We're looking at having Lost air...<BR/><BR/>February --> May 2008<BR/>February --> May 2009<BR/>February --> May 2010<BR/><BR/>It seems like a really, really long time, doesn't it?

Does anyone know of a network TV model that is or was in the past similar? All in all, it sounds pretty OK to me. Also, has any network show ever announced an "exit" date like LOST is doing?
