Fantastic! I mean, bummer about Idol, but between the semi-finals and say the top six or so I rarely watch the results shows anyway. Too much filler. Now, here’s hoping I can work my class schedule around this…

I cant wait
Look forward to Lost again but hope it can exceed last season and get back to snuff.

i hope randy macho man savage makes another guest appearance and snaps into a slim jim.
What is a “cypto-drama”? New category for Emmy awards?
Damn it. I won’t get to watch it live. My parents would NEVER give up the TV for American Idol. *tear*
Three hour premiere???? Oh the Losty goodness. And coming the day after our brand new president takes office…
January can’t come soon enough!
Looks like ‘Private Practice’ is getting a well-deserved hook come January. Or are they moving it to a new slot?
TK3: You crazy???
While I know that Nielsen ratings have recently started to take into account DVR views of a show,I still question ABC’s decision to air Lost against American Idol, a long-running ratings juggernaut. While I personally will be watching Lost over AI, a lot of people may choose to watch AI live instead. It just doesn’t seem to be a sound businesses decision. And, although DVR has been available for a couple of years now, a lot of households still don’t have DVR. Nevertheless, I am stoked for the season 5 premiere.
I vote for a Monday night Lost since Monday night is such a poor night for TV. So happy Lost is back in January though, because I thought it was going to be back in February. What a pleasant surprise and something to look forward to.
Monday nights? you want to put it up against a revamped 24?!?!?
I would just flip if one of the episodes that comes up involves Desmond becoming an old man who lost Penny because he wasn’t able to prevent Ben from killing her. I don’t want it to be Jack feeling remorseful about being unable to change things but what if the whole story is about Desmond trying to course correct things and couldn’t do it because he didn’t understand what was going on until it was much too late.
I can’t wait. No, really, I simply cannot and will not wait! I’m just gonna hafta cryogenically freeze myself until January 21, 2009!
