If you have a DVR, you can watch both Lost AND American Idol on the same night (especially if you skip through all of the filler AI nonsense); just not both live. I don't really see the issue. And it's not like ratings are going to matter since it's the show's last season.jcpdiesel21https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624469405060494711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-70821140856603708742009-11-20T11:04:21.412-05:002009-11-20T11:04:21.412-05:00FYI - and you all probably know this already - ABC...FYI - and you all probably know this already - ABC has all 5 seasons of full episodes online at http://abc.go.com/watch/lost/93372ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942160835095245787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-78444141456577356532009-11-20T10:58:39.922-05:002009-11-20T10:58:39.922-05:00Woo!

I'm in charge of when I watch it. So if I want to watch Lost on Wednesdays at 10pm, that's when I'll watch it. <br /><br />It wouldn't bother me if they aired the show at 7am on Fridays, as long as my DVR catches it.<br /><br />By the way, couldn't agree more with Alan about Tuesdays right now.
