here will be more Lost…well, at least a half hour more. It was announced on last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live that the 2-hour season finale of Lost, scheduled to air Sunday, May 23, from 9:00pm-11:00pm, will actually run a half-hour longer, until 11:30pm. The nightly local news will air at 11:30pm, followed by the Jimmy Kimmel Live: Aloha to Lost special, which will air at 12:05am. All tolled, there will be five-and-a-half hours of Lost programming on May 23, as the finale will be preceded by a two-hour retrospective titled Lost: The Final Journey. As well, the original two-hour Pilot episode will air the previous night, May 22, as an "enhanced" episode, complete with Pop-Up Video-style facts. Clearly, the Powers That Be at ABC recognize the conclusion of Lost as a major television event, as they are going all out for those fans that have spent the last six years of our lives obsessing over the show. (Can you imagine being someone who saw the first season and then trying to jump into the finale? Talk about confused!)

If there is more news regarding the Lost finale weekend, we here at TVOvermind will have it. Namaste.


i say WOOHOO!!!! to that!:bolian:

Y'know, they're generally 42 (!) minutes without ads, a two-hour US TV show is 84 minutes without ads - I figure they're aiming for 108 for the DVD... I wonder if it'll be in real time? Or called "108"
 
Sounds like a reasonable theory. Shows minus ad time usually are between 42 and 44 minutes.

43 * (2.5) = 107.5
 
Of course, us UK types won't get the 108, even on DVD, cos of the different frame rates between PAL and NTSC - it'll be, like 103 minute or something for us...
 
Umm.. so how many episodes are left?
We have next week May 11th
And then?

Will we have a several week wait or are there 3 left?
 
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

This makes me very happy. :D

And a 108 minute finale (minus the ads) would be perfect. :D
 
Longer Lost? Sweet! :techman:

I hear they're charging a lot for commercials for the final episode so I'm sure there's plenty of network self-interest here.
 
I was excited about this news last night. I'll take anything I can get to stave off the inevitable.
