Update 11/19/09: ABC just announced that LOST Season 6 will be on Tuesday nights.
———————– Original post below:
ABC will be cancelling Eastwick after 13 episodes. That will leave a 10 PM Wednesday night slot open, which seems perfect for LOST.
But E! Online reports that ABC is thinking of moving Ugly Betty into that time slot in order to make Wednesdays solid nights of comedy.
P.S. Eastwick is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Though it’s not a brilliant show like LOST, it’s a lot of fun, with exuberant acting, a dab of suspense, and more strong women characters per square inch than the vast majority of shows on TV.
This may be a lost cause (no pun intended), but if you like Eastwick too, please consider signing the petition to save the show. Fans of the show are also trying to get #SaveEastwick onto Twitter’s Trending Topics list.
Promo picture for "V" with Elizabeth Mitchell in the center
While there’s only been one episode of V so far, I’m already liking it better than FlashForward, the other show with a LOST alum as a star. I thought V had more interesting characters (the teenagers, in particular, I thought were very well done), better production values (the inside of the ship was cool), better dramatic conflicts, better dialogue, and hints of some intriguing themes.
It’s no LOST (even if they did have a guy who got out of a wheelchair), but so far, it looks good.
What do you think? Which science-fiction show, with an FBI investigation, starring a blonde LOST actress, do you prefer?
Editing to add 8/17/10: After the haitus, I thought FlashFoward got much better, and by the end, I was sorry that it was canceled. I wanted to see more. I thought V, on the other hand, went downhill in the spring. So I’ve changed my mind completely about both shows. This was one case where first impressions were not accurate!
They showed this little 15-second promo for LOST tonight during FlashForward. It’s got clips from previous seasons, but nothing from Season 6 itself. Apparently, ABC isn’t going to be revealing anything from the new season until it actually starts, the better to keep us in suspense.

Previously on LOST, the band that does funny, manic musical recaps of LOST episodes — including the Season 5 finale LOST Untangled — will be playing live Tuesday night, October 27, 2009 at 7 PM.
