Variety - Inside Moves: Skeins get special treatment
ABC has found a way to squeeze a little more life out of frosh blockbusters "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives"-- and possibly expand their already sizeable fan base to boot. Net has greenlit separate one-hour specials tied to both skeins, with the net's marketing and current programming departments overseeing production of both. But rather than serving up simple clipfests catering to current viewers, ABC is designing the specials to serve as introductory guides to the serialized shows.... ...The "Lost" hour, set to air April 27 in the show's normal timeslot, will be of particular interest to current fans of the show. That's because the special will take the bits and pieces of information the show has doled out about six main characters over the last six months -- and retell their stories in a linear fashion. "You get to see how these characters are all interwoven and just how deep this show is," Benson said. Special -- from Metropolitan/ Hodder Group -- will focus on the characters of Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer, Charlie and Sayid. "What we did was break it down to a core of characters that seem to cross back and forth between everyone's lives," Taylor said, adding that there'll also be a segment on the island itself. Taylor credits "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof for the idea of telling the stories in a linear fashion.... Read the full story here (subscription required).(7:42 AM)
Friday, March 18, 2005 Zap2It - 'Lost' Team Discusses Upcoming Death and Mysteries
Saturday (March 12) night's "Lost" lovefest at the William S. Paley Television Festival ended a little after 9 p.m. and no sooner were the closing words out of the moderator's mouth when an audible "Whoosh" could be heard in Director's Guild of America Theatre. Fans, some of whom had arrived at 6:30 in the morning to queue up for the event, surged the stage, lunging by exiting patrons to get close to their favorite cast members and creative talent. As this pent-up enthusiasm -- to say nothing of boffo ratings, overflowing Internet boards and boundless critical adoration -- suggests, "Lost" has, in short order, become a genuine obsession for those who follow its every unsolved mystery. So serious was the crowd on Saturday that much of the conversation was fueled by issues of life and death, particularly for one "Lost" character. While co-creator J.J. Abrams has made it clear that one member of the show's core ensemble won't make it through May sweeps, getting more information out of him might take the kind of interrogation skills that Naveen Andrews' Sayid picked up in the Republican Guard....

Sunday, March 13, 2005 Lost-TV's First Birthday is Next Week! Help Us Celebrate!
On March 20, 2004, Lost-TV was unleashed unto the world, not knowing whether or not Lost would even be picked up by a network. Nearly a year later, Lost is the highest-rated new drama, and Lost-TV is one of the biggest fansites out there. We're celebrating our birthday next week, and we want you to celebrate with us! If you have a greeting you'd like to send - a postcard, a picture of you holding up a birthday cake, a little piece of fan art, maybe even a flash video - then hand it over to xander1600@yahoo.com and I'll post it on March 20.

LOST Hiatus Cut Short?
It appears that instead of new episodes starting to air after 5 weeks of reruns on April 13, new episodes will air on March 30 and April 6. So instead of having four more weeks of reruns followed by the last new episodes of the first season, we'll (probably) have two more weeks of reruns followed by two weeks of new episodes, then two weeks of reruns again, and finally the last four episodes of Season One.

Tonight is a rerun of "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues." (5:17 PM)
Tuesday, March 08, 2005 The Trades - Scott's Spotlight: Daniel Dae Kim Interview
Daniel Dae Kim is no stranger to successful television shows. He's had recurring roles on "24", "ER", and "Angel", and has made guest appearances on "CSI", "The Shield", and "Beverly Hills, 90210". These roles, however, now seem minor compared to the colossal attention and acclaim he's receiving for his portrayal of Jin on ABC's smash hit, "Lost". A Korean man with a troubled past, Jin's inability to effectively communicate with his wife has led to a disintegration of their relationship. Kim tells me he's thrilled to play such a dynamic and intricate character. "The only thing that any actor can really ask for is to play a complex, interesting person with a lot of different dimensions," he remarks. "Right now, Jin is that. People can't pigeonhole him into a bad guy or a hero. He's a lot of different things to a lot of different people." Kim first became serious about acting in his sophomore year of college and went on to earn an MFA from the graduate acting program at New York University. He credits much of what he learned there with preparing him for a career in show business. "I think my time at NYU was invaluable," he says.... Read the full story here.(7:10 AM)
Sunday, March 06, 2005 Lansing State Journal - 'Lost' numbers come up losers
Feeling unlucky? A couple of hundred Michiganders were. The ABC hit show "Lost" on Wednesday revealed a sequence of numbers - 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 - that seemed innocent but weren't, according to the story. Win the lottery with the numbers, and those around you lose - heart attacks, twisted ankles, fires, a plane crash. So what did at least 215 people do after the show? They played the numbers for a shot at Friday's $10 million Mega Millions jackpot, lottery officials said. They lost.... Read the full story here.(1:10 PM)
Ottawa Sun - Take a gamble on cursed 'Lost' numbers
Pssst! Wanna play some cursed numbers? Fans of ABC's new hit show Lost are likely pondering that very question after Wednesday night's episode in which it was revealed fan favourite character Hurley is actually a mega-millionaire thanks to the lottery. Problem is, Hurley got rich thanks to six numbers -- 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 -- that are cursed. Turns out Hurley -- he of large hair and larger girth -- scored the numbers off a patient in an insane asylum who got them from a radio transmission from the strange Pacific island where Hurley and his castmates crash landed....

Herald Sun - The 'Lost' secrets
It is hard to believe a series based on the vague idea of a dramatic version of reality show Survivor would become such an instant hit. But Lost has been pulling more than two million viewers a week for the Seven Network and, for the past five weeks, has been battling it out with Desperate Housewives for the title of Australia's most-watched show....

Friday, March 04, 2005 Hurley's Winning Numbers
By special request, here are Hurley's winning numbers: 4 8 15 16 23 42. If you want to bet these numbers at your local lottery, be my guest. (1:55 AM)
Thursday, March 03, 2005 Ratings for "Numbers" Zap2It reports overnight ratings of 11.3/18 for last night's new episode, while Mediaweek projects total viewership at approximately 18.83 million viewers. This was enough to make sure that Lost once again won its timeslot. (5:56 PM)
Wednesday, March 02, 2005 New LOST Episode Tonight: Numbers; A Quick Teaser from Damon Lindelof
Tonight is the last new episode of Lost before it enters 5 weeks of hiatus. This is the 18th episode, "Numbers," and this is the official ABC description: When Hurley becomes obsessed with the French woman and heads into the jungle to find her, Jack, Sayid and Charlie have no choice but to follow. Meanwhile, Locke asks Claire to help build a mysterious item. Series co-creator Damon Lindelof also has this to say about tonight's episode: As multiple spoilers have already been posted on the site regarding Hurley's "secret," the only thing I would tease is that watching the LAST thirty seconds of the show is absolutely ESSENTIAL. A really cool twist, I think! You can discuss the episode at the message board. (4:19 PM)
USA Today - Dude, he's a real fan favorite
It might seem difficult to stand out in a cast of 14 regulars. But not for Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley, the laid-back dude on the ABC hit Lost. He's distinctive for his size (6-foot-1 and 300-plus pounds), especially in a prime-time TV world populated by the ultra-thin. But it's more than that for a character who has quickly become a fan favorite. The wild-haired Hurley provides a welcome respite from the suspenseful, harrowing events of Lost (Wednesday, 8 ET/PT). "He's a regular guy. I think that appeals to people. And he lightens up the intensity of the show," says Garcia, 25. "A lot of times I'll find people telling me I'm their kid's favorite." What makes him distinctive to fans? "Hmmm ... size, hair, his interest in others and humor," says Courtenay Cross, a moderator of fan Web site lost-tv.com. "He is the needed comic relief for the mysterious events that go on." So far, on an island of secrets, a few fragments of Hurley's background have been revealed.... Read the full story here.

The Honolulu Advertiser - 'Lost' will stay in Hawai'i for now
ABC's "Lost" will return for a second season of filming on O'ahu, according to Barry Jossen, senior vice president of production for Touchstone Television. The return is contingent on ABC renewing "Lost" for another season — a virtual certainty given the series' dominance of its Wednesday-night time slot. "We are not leaving," Jossen said by telephone from Los Angeles, responding to recent talk the show would not return unless the state takes measures such as enacting tax breaks to help defray the cost of shooting here....
