Format For Season Three

[sleepwalker]

K, this poll is in response to this.

Thirteen weeks is an awfully long time.

Isn't that what happened with Prison Break this year? I completely lost the plot over the THREE MONTHS. I get that no reruns will let the plot flow more effectively, but the is a hell of a hiatus. I think a lot of viewers might just forget about the show over that time, unless the writers came up with the mother of all cliffhangers.

Thoughts?

sleepwalker--obviously my opinion matters not to the writers--in the podcast today they confirmed that they are doing 6 epis starting in Sept, then a 12 week hiatus with NO reruns, and then come back in Feb. with all new epis. So, sorry to those who miss it, make sure you tape or Tivo and pray the power doesn't go out in your area. :( Well, I guess that's good for people who hate reruns.

Well, think of Alias. They waited until January to start their season, in order not to have reruns... but ended up having to take a break because of the pregnancy anyways.

So, during the 13 weeks, no reruns means no LOST?

[sleepwalker]

I presume so?

Guess that renders the greatest site ever useless.

Yep, even spoilerfix knows the answer:

Lost airs on ABC on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST. The series was renewed for a 3rd season. It will return in September for 6 episodes and then go in hiatus for 12 weeks and come back for 17 straight episodes.

That's whacked!

I know it! People must really be fed up with spoilers.

This makes me shrivel up inside a bit. Howver, I definately prefer to have no re-runs spoil my mind than re-runs for 12 or 13 weeks. ;--;
