How happy am I that there's a new Lost tonight? Very very happy. That said, having watched a lot of football on ABC and ESPN these past couple of weeks, I'm glad I won't have to see any more promos for it.
Am I the only person who finds it odd that a show about plane crash survivors on an uncharted tropical island with mysterious beasties and powers has required less suspension of disbelief than a show about life in suburbia? Not that it has (so far) reduced my enjoyment of either show, mind you.
Next week: the shocking truth about Boone and Shannon. I'm ready.

Posted by: Patrick on January 5, 2005 4:33 PMIf you didn't like "Sex and The City", you're not going to like "Desperate Housewives" as much as "Lost". I think "Lost" appeals to the people that like "24".
Just my opinion.

Posted by: aurora borealis on January 5, 2005 5:53 PMThat's an interesting thought, Mr. Hughes. My mother would bear out your opinion. She hadn't been big on television drama since "Hill Street," but then "24" came along. And now we quit watching "The News Hour" halfway through to switch to "Lost."
