Exclusive: Lost Finds Post-Grey's Berth!
The writers' strike may end up being the best thing that ever happened
to Lost.
ABC is said to be finalizing a post-strike spring schedule that not
only hands Lost its best available time slot, but promises to further
strengthen the network's stronghold on Thursday night.
According to multiple sources, ABC plans on airing this season's final
five* Lost episodes on Thursdays at 10 pm/ET beginning in late April,
where it will follow all-new episodes of Grey's freakin' Anatomy!
Throw in fresh installments of Ugly Betty at 8 pm and you've got
yourself the most formidable one-two-three punch since the early days
of CBS' Survivor/CSI/Without a Trace smashup. Creatively speaking, I'd
go so far as to say this rivals NBC's storied Must-See-TV juggernaut
back in the '90s.
And I haven't even gotten to the best part.
The best part is that I'm hearing that ABC is strongly considering
keeping this dream lineup intact this fall... and beyond.
I don't know about you, but this almost makes up for ABC's mishandling
of [insert any number of show titles here].
* This just in: I'm now hearing that Lost's final arc may consist of
six episodes, not five. No, Team Darlton isn't making an extra episode
this season. Rather, the final installment of the current run (aka
Episode 8) will likely be held to kick off the final batch of five.
According to my spies, Episode 7 makes for a better, more logical,
break. Discuss....
