"NO, not another rerun" |
I've been excited that a new episode was coming on this week and looked to see what next week's show will be about. But it's another rerun. If my counting is correct, after the long holiday break we had 3 new shows, then a rerun, then 2 new shows, then another rerun, now 1 new show and then another rerun. Was it really this bad last year? I love the show and I'll wait for the new episodes, but these reruns seem a bit excessive.

It is the curse of the sweeps.They only produce so many shows, sweeps are November, February, and May. They want to make sure they get new shows, and new shows that will get ratings during the times where they will get a return investment for the show. Reruns are a pain, I'd rather have each show do the full run and then do reruns, but given the way the how much money you can charge for ads thing is set up the show some new shows, then go into reruns is pretty much going to be the norm for all shows. A few shows experiment with running all the episodes in a row like 24 and Alias have done, but then you have to miss one of the sweeps periods and make sure you have something in that slot that pull the ratings. It's all about $$.

This season has had more breaks in the new episode runs and there was the February hiatus during the Olympics this year that wasn't there last year (a move I still don't understand, frankly, but that's a different discussion), but the total number of off weeks looks like it will break even between the two seasons.Last season, there were 3 consecutive weeks of repeats in March, followed by 2 consecutive weeks of repeats and a re-cap in April. As illustrated here, frustration reared its head around this time last year. Here's what is known: New episode this week (3/1). Two weeks of re-runs. Next new episode is 3/22, followed by another new episode 3/29. At that point, we will be through Episode 17 of Season 2. Last season had 24 episodes. I figure this season will, as well. That means 7 more weeks with original programming with only 8 weeks remaining before the end of May sweeps (which usually ends the TV season before Summer re-runs). That means after this two-week hiatus in March, there should only be one more week of "something else" (repeat, special programming, re-cap, etc.) between now and the end of Season 2. How's that for a "glass half full" analysis? Fester

I think I might be an exception to the rule, but I actually prefer the breaks. If a show runs, runs, runs with no breaks, it's just overwhelming. I need the breaks because there's just too much else going on.It's actually why I quit watching 24. It was just too much, and you couldn't really catch up without a marathon session of all the episodes with this, which would only put me back, again, by spending that much solid time catching up. I love Lost, but I need a break for homework or kid-stuff now and again. And I love it when those breaks are made by the network, so I don't have to give that time up later to "catch up." This schedule actually works out pretty well for me.

I kind of agree - it gives me a chance to catch up on episodes I might have missed or rewatch previous ones to see if I missed anything. I don't tape every episode and sometimes miss part or all of one. So, this gives me a chance to catch up with everyone else. I like the show so much that I don't mind watching re-runs (within reason).

LAST EDITED ON 04-07-06 AT 02:03 PM (EST)Although it looks like we may have some re-runs, it doesn't look as bad as I thought it might. Appears to be five new episodes. Schedule: April 5 - Dave 12 - SOS 19 - possible rerun 26 - possible rerun May 3 - Two For The Road 10 - Untitled 17 - Three Minutes edited to add: Thought the May 10th episode was untitled because it had a question mark at tv.com. Turns out the episode is entitled "?"

17. "RE: Remainder of Season 2's Schedule" |
From a good article that Hobbs found.
Lindelof and Cuse are regarded as the brain trust that keeps the series' epic plot twists and stop-or-you-might-miss-'em little details coming. And anyone who is creative enough to pen an episode entitled "?"--that's right, just "?"--should be well-compensated. (That punctuation mark lends itself to the upcoming episode 21, by the way, and, FYI, it refers to the symbol Locke remembers from the map discovered on the hatch door during last week's episode. Got it?) "We feel that this batch of currently running episodes, through 19, is kind of the calm before the storm," Lindelof told E! Online TV columnist Kristin Veitch. "And then episodes 20 through 24, those final five hours of the show, we're all overwhelmingly excited about because there is a lot of incident and action and mystery revelation coming down the pike. We're really, really jazzed about that final pot of episodes."
