I *think* that's a good result for the Lost rerun (it's certainly a stable one throughout two hours of varying competition). But I'm not sure, given it's a battle of last-minute scheduling versus 8 months of being off the air and hype. Clearly tonight's clip show and original episode will be higher rated.
Are you kidding me, Travis? A LOSTrerun gets over a 3.0 in the demo opposite CBS' procedurals (Criminal Minds (R) and CSI:NY (R)) and another post-Idol-fueled Fox show -- that's great news, awesome news in fact for LOST. When was the last time a rerun of LOST managed to beat a CSI:NY rerun or come so close to a Criminal Minds rerun in viewers, or beat them both in the demo? These high numbers for its little advertised "enhanced" rerun of last season's finale is an indication to expect very solid numbers for tonight's 9pm premiere. As I mentioned last week, I expect 14 - 18 million for the premiere. The LOST recap is probably going to get around 10 million, and Eli Stone around 10-12 million.

Yes, I agree -- Eli Stone is very appealing, and should be a lighter show that LOST viewers can stick around without the intensity required by previous post-LOST shows such as Invasion. It will be a success, and ABC will be thanking its lucky stars for having a 13 episode stockpile. They can finally start shoring up their losses and slowly reverse those downward season trends.
LoST gets so much buzz than my head spins. Those numbers for yesterday's repeat are, at best, good. Nothing more.
Find me the last time a LOST repeat got a 3.3 in the demo and then tell me that was no more than good. It even beat an original Law & Order, which has been dominating Weds at 10pm since its return...

Tell me the last time a LOST repeat aired after 9 months after the last original episode
Last Year, I don't think LOST had a 2 hour repeat special a night before the premiere, but it did have the "The Lost Survivor Guide" retrospective special lead into the premiere and it drew 8.84 million viewers.

And what is your point? With such a long break, viewers could have easily lost interest. This is very good news because it obviously points to the fact that they haven't -- quite the opposite, they hunger for new episodes of LOST and were willing to sit through a repeat, something they rarely do, in order to catch up and get ready for tonight. Which point to my prediction of 14 - 18 million for tonight's episode being fairly accurate.

That special would be the equivalent of what they'll have tonight at 8pm leading into the LOST premiere -- and that special will draw closer to 10 million viewers.
OMG I cant wait to watch LOST, I am so excited!!!!
look people at all the excellent reviews season 4 has been getting:
100San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman Three more words: Oh. My. God.
100Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen The Lost writers begin the season with a firm grasp on their story and a keen understanding that viewers won't object to the introduction of new characters as long as old favorites are well served.
100USA Today Robert Bianco Let Lost remind you of how spectacular scripted network programming can be.
90Newsday Diane Werts This stuff is good. No, superb.
80Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray I still don't know where it's headed, but it feels, finally, as if we could be getting somewhere.
80Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan I blissfully enjoyed every minute of Lost’s smashing Season 4 start.
80Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert So much of the pleasure of Lost is in the way surprise twists arrive completely out of the blue.
80Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall The Lost season three finale was no fluke. The show has got its mojo back, and then some.
75New York Daily News David Hinckley ABC's dense, unblinking and occasionally surreal tale of plane-crash survivors on a strange tropical island moves into its fourth season Thursday with its compass still in good working order.
this is all from metacritic, lost's overall score is 87, which is the highest score this season, just barely beating Pushing Daisies 86 score

Nice try, but as pointed out to you already, you simply changed the subject from what the original posters were typing about. No bet exists on my part.

Not really -- go back and read my posts -- I show exactly what I said, and I reiterated it after you made this claim last time. It sounds like you're already backing off from the challenge...
Yes, really. You changed the subject from whether Lost could beat CSI reruns over the course of the season to simply claiming that only the premiere was being discussed. Feel free to quote where anyone agreed with you that only the premiere was being discussed or where I made any 'bet' with you on the subject.

With predictions like that you could work for the local TV station predicting the weather. They to make "bold" predictions like the high temperature will be between 0 and 10 degrees tomorrow.

I have clearly said all along, and reiterated several times, that LOST will open with 14 - 18 million, and will settle in at least 14 million, enough to beat CSI repeats. And it won't even be a contest in the demo...

Well, that may seem clear today after last night's results, but people like Obveeus and Holly did not believe that was possible because LOST dip to 12 million last season. So yes, it was a "bold" prediction when I made it -- just look at Obveeus' responses...
I have clearly said all along, and reiterated several times,
Multiple quotes to show what you said does not address the fact that you were talking about a different subject than everyone else and that there is no 'bet' to claim victory over.
