LOST Season 3

**Cincy** · 05-17-2006

Good news for next season.

The following was taken from an article in the LA Times.

When it comes to "Lost," it's all about listening to the fans, McPherson said. The drama series about marooned passengers on a mysterious island will return in the fall in its current Wednesday time slot with seven original episodes, and then go on hiatus until January or February, when it will return to the Wednesday night schedule with original episodes until May.

During "Lost's" hiatus, ABC will launch "Day Break," starring Taye Diggs as a detective who literally lives the same day over and over -- and it's a bad one -- for 13 weeks.

"'Lost' is a show people really love. They make an appointment for [it]," McPherson said. "They absolutely just get furious when it's in repeat. So we want to be able to say to the audience, it's going to be on for this block here -- then bring it back and it will run straight through."

The show's executive producers, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, said today that they're excited about the new schedule and will design the third season around the new airtime order.

"Our audience was incredibly frustrated with repeats," Cuse wrote in an e-mail. "Now when 'Lost' is on, it's on. And, the audience doesn't have to wait all the way until the spring for the show to return, which given the cliffhanger nature of our finale would be too long."

The new non-repeat schedule "allows us to really keep the momentum of our particular type of storytelling," he added.

Wha??? Does that mean we won't have to wait all summer?? Is that what that means?

The Goof Father · 05-17-2006

UGH! I will not be happy until I get 52 straight episodes!

Oh well... It matters not... I will watch it no matter what... NO MATTER WHAT...

The Goof Father · 05-17-2006

Oh, and the producer folks keep saying only 22 hours for next season! WHAT???

Does that mean we get less??? grrrrrrr...

**Cincy** · 05-18-2006

We have had 23 shows plus a 2 hour finale the first 2 seasons, so if they are correct we will have 2 less shows.

Erin, It is my understanding that we will not see anything new until Mid September. Enjoy your summer!

No! I will NOT enjoy my summer!
