Three-hour premiere
The official ABC LOST site now shows that the premiere will be a 3-hour event starting at 8:00 (7 central) on Jan 21. According to EW, 8:00 will be a recap show, and then two new episodes will air back-to-back.
EW also says that the show’s regular time slot will probably be at 9:00. That would put it against a new crime-solving show from Fox, Lie to Me. This could be a good show, as it is coming from the producers of “24″ and “Arrested Development.” Even if it turns out to be a hit, it would be less formidable competition for LOST than what’s in the 8:00 slot — “American Idol.”
I suppose that no matter what the competition, and no matter what the ratings for LOST, the network wouldn’t dare to pull the plug on the show before its scheduled ending date. They’d have a riot on their hands if they tried! Though perhaps a mob of LOST fans wouldn’t be the scariest thing in the world.
