1. It says "new" on the guide but someone in another thread
said it will be a "clip" show.

5. Are you kidding?
Thankfully, my wife and I just started watching season 1 of the West Wing.

4. What's a clips show?
A rehash of everything so far? I'm waiting for the DVD, since I don't watch broadcast telly.

I've read about all the delays and repeats. The studio blames it on production. However, I came across something in the news. Hawaii has been socked in with an awful lot of rain lately. Seeing that Lost is filmed outdoors (well, the caves looks to be a set), I suspect the weather may be the culprit. Of course, they can't say that for fear of hurting the tourist trade.

8. I don't think that the weather has anything to do w/ it.
Studios always show their big eppies in Feb and May-sweeps time. A show of this nature probably doesn't film back-to-back and store it away either. This show lives off of its making the audience second-guess. Shows filmed too far ahead of time would be way too easy to leak. But I'll still place some blame on the network.

A clips show is pretty much a "catch-up"- clips from past eppies that show you the story from the beginning.

6. It doesn't look new.....it's a flashback show where
they show clips from various episodes. The description on the cable guide said it was going to look into the faith of Locke and Michael as well as something about Libby.

I don't know about sticking with a show that has SO MANY repeats! I am about to the point where I'll just wait for the DVD to come out.


C'mon JJ Abrams....SHOW NEW EPISODES CONSISTENTLY!!!!

7. May is sweeps month
They're holding new episodes till May, then they'll show four new ones in a row to draw higher ratings, so they can charge advertisers more. Networks -- gotta love em.

9. Bingo!
I've heard ABC is blaming it all on the producers. We both know that they are waiting for Sweeps Month.
