As much as the hiatus and the later timeslot may hurt, getting it the hell away from Idol can do nothing but help. <BR/><BR/>Always nice to make a cameo appearance in one of Lisa's columns, as I was the guy who complained to Lindelof and Cuse about Jack's interviewing abilities (which I then re-used in the column and will mention again tonight).Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1170882147249700182007-02-07T16:02:00.000-05:002007-02-07T16:02:00.000-05:00I should think that the ratings would drop purely ...I should think that the ratings would drop purely based on the fact that it's going to be on so late. I know that I won't regularly stay up after 10pm to watch it. I will DVR and watch the next day.<BR/><BR/>I still have high hopes for the show, in spite of this review.

The show has lost its mojo and it needs something significant to happen to turn things around. After reading Lisa de Moreas' article on the Lost sesssion at the TCA, I don't think the producers understand that the show is starting to get into trouble with its fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1170871197392205172007-02-07T12:59:00.000-05:002007-02-07T12:59:00.000-05:00Bob, it's a joke -- and you know what they say abo...Bob, it's a joke -- and you know what they say about jokes you have to explain, so I guess it wasn't a very good one.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1170870897811879332007-02-07T12:54:00.000-05:002007-02-07T12:54:00.000-05:00Alan,In your column you mention "screaming" and "K...Alan,<BR/><BR/>In your column you mention "screaming" and "Ken Burns", but I don't know what it refers to.
