You will get your full requirement of episodes, as it has been agreed in contract by ABC for an amount of hours of television, not an amount of seasons. It isn't the productions fault that they've lost 3 episodes. Frankly, 3 months of strike and only losing three episodes is hardly a chore, when you consider there is <B>NO</B> 24. only half a season of Heroes (which won't come back till Autumn now, and you will not lose any shows at all.<BR/><BR/>Jim. Yes I'm pretty sure ABC make much more money abroad that domestically on Lost (Sky One's deal with them in the UK covers the cost of production on its own) but ABC are the lead channel, and as such we have to think about their scheduling.<BR/><BR/>To be honest. I hate the current schedule. Fans forced it into its current situation and it frankly sucks. I would much rather 8 episodes in the Autumn, and 8 episodes in the Spring, then we don't have a 8 month wait for fresh content, but its the fan bases fault. The fan base constantly nag and moan about the show's scheduling. I've got to the point now where I would just like the fans to shut up, and let the production team get on with the show in the vision THEY want.<BR/><BR/>I'm also seriously considering switching off anonymous comments, because its only those anonymous commenters that are complaining that there won't be 8 episodes. It'll be these same anonymous commenters that would complain that they are airing Lost whilst they are supposed to be going on holiday too.plkrtnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00281869748666427376noreply@blogger.com
