ABC announced its schedule for next year...luckily Lost isn't moving time slots. But they are using a different scheduling strategy for it:
ABC's "Lost" will get a run of seven consecutive new episodes in the fall. Then it will take a break, and ABC will launch action thriller "Day Break," starring Taye Diggs as Detective Brett Hopper, who has found out that one day he has been framed. He'll then relive the same day all over again. "Lost" will then come back in January/February and complete its run of new shows until the end of the season.
"Lost" will get fewer repeats--and ABC says it's worth it. "It's a more expensive schedule--but it's something that the audience demands," said McPherson. "'Lost' is a show that people love and make an appointment for. They get furious when it's in repeats... 'Lost' will still be profitable without going into repeats."
7 episodes in the fall does not seem like enough, but for less repeats in a row, I suppose it would be worth it!
