"Lost" to Last a Little Longer

With 11 days until "Lost" returns, there has been some surprising news. Originally, this season was supposed to be 16 episodes, but the Writers Strike changed that to only 13. Now, however, the producers have announced there will be an extra hour added to this season, resulting in what is essentially a three-hour finale! Before you clear your calendar, here's how the shows are going to air. The first hour of that finale will air on May 15 at 10 p.m., and then we have to wait two weeks until May 29 for the last two hours. This means no "Lost" on May 22. According to tvguide.com, the producers convinced ABC that the final two hours had to air together. And with the finales of Grey's and Ugly Betty already slated for May 22 at 8 and 9 p.m. respectively, ABC really had no other choice than to schedule "Lost"'s two-hour exit for May 29. If you really want a true three-hour finale, wait until the 29th when the first hour will be replayed at 8 p.m. before the new two hours at 9 p.m. Can there ever be too much "Lost"?
