That's a mighty fine looking banjo

I was gonna make a joke about a bear in the woods, but I'll keep it clean....

GOOD MONDAY, LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Oscars are over and now it's time for LOST to rule ABC's promotional spots for the rest of the year. Congrats to all the winners and for the Academy finally giving Scorcese his due...

ONTO the show:

This week:

"Tricia Tanaka Is Dead"

Wednesday, February 28 at 10/9c
Hurley discovers a wrecked car on the island and uses it on a mission of hope.

According to my sources, this episode is going to be laugh out loud funny and get out your Kleenex sad. Look for the mythology of the island to be left alone for this episode and don't hold out hope that you'll see any Others. This is all about the big fella ,Hugo...

There will NOT be an encore episode of last week's show before the new one, like ABC has done the past 3 weeks. ABC is starting to get their spring programming in order but still fail to give LOST a companion show that could help it in the ratings. As it stands now, LOST is still the number one scripted show for it's time slot and it leads the pack in the ever important demographic, the coveted 18-34 age group. When it comes to ratings, it's no Grey's Anatomy(don't get me started on that debacle...Izzie's speech 2 weeks ago was the worst moment of television so far this year..." I believe that blahblahblahablah...."...uck!!) which pulls in 26 million viewers a week. LOST is currently at 12.9 million.....No fear of cancellation, no matter the grumblings of a few who find the show to be a little slow so far this season. Let's not forget that it was about this time last year that the show really started to pick up....I have no doubt that the show will continue to gain momentum and then leave us wanting a lot more by the season finale...

There is a moment coming up that will solidify Niki and Paulo's status on the show. A lot of people had been grumbling about their impromptu introduction as background characters(where have these 2 hotties been hiding out??..not my words..)...well in an upcoming episode, they will be explained and it's sure to be a shocker...I have a theory about this and will offer it up once we get closer to that particular story line...if what I think is right, it's sure to be a turning point in the show....

And now, if I could, I'd like to promote another one of my favorite shows: Friday Night Lights....If you aren't watching this show, you should tune in for what I consider to be the most honest portrayal of small town life on television today...If you aren't a football fan, don't stress...this show is about the people and Kyle Chandler(the dude who blew up on Grey's) is by far, one of the best actors on TV...The show has a lot of stand out performances...no magic, no law and order, no time travel..just simple, honest TV....good stuff...thanks for listening...

That's it for now...
