Of all the TV Shows available to watch on the abc chanel I always make sure to tune in to the Lost Series every Wednesday @ 9/8c. Since 2004 it has been an addictive program to watch that just keeps becoming more intriguing as it proceeds in its syndication. This popular TV show involves mystery and the supernatural. Its ubiquity makes it cutting edge to discover just how all the pieces will fit together with every new episode. Television programs have been unable to compete with its unique and tantalizing simple and sci-fi-esque flavor. A plane crashed in 2004 in the South Pacific. The survivors forged onward and discovered many strange things and people. Scary smoke monsters and wild polar bears inhabited the island as well as people called “The Others” and bunkers from a group called the “Dharma Initiative.”

For One hundred and eight days the survivors of a plane crash inhabited a deserted island between Sydney Australia and L.A. Then, one of them turned a wheel as well as their destinies upside down and inside out. Locke along with all but six people (Sawyer, Jack, Hurley, Kate, Juliet and Jin) remained in current time. The six others somehow ended up in the year 1977 to see that their companions disappeared along with the island. They were rescued and brought back to the U.S. but then took a plane back out to find the island again. The plane crashed and they found the isle full of Hostiles. Sawyer became head of security for the Dharma Initiative and changed his name to LaFleur. He snuck Hurley, Jack and Kate into the Dharma compound while Jin ran off to find Sun. It’s been three years since Sawyer a.k.a. LaFleur, Juliet, Miles and Jin have been working for the Dharma Initiative. The people left in current time are extremely confused.

Ben snuck off to find boats to get to the other island. Sun follows along with Lapidus. They knock out Ben and take a boat to the other isle and run into a man named Christian who they find out is Jack’s Dad. He shows them what happened to the six others in a photo from the Dharma Recruits in 1977. Meanwhile, Jin is off in 1977 looking for Sun. He runs into Sayid while searching for Hostiles. Sayid gets thrown into their jail where he runs into a boy who says his name is Ben Linus. It’s becoming more aggressive as everyone in the 70s who has come from the future is seemingly looking out only for themselves. The relationship of survivor vs. survivor is growing increasingly acute and violent in some circumstances. The Lost TV program is exquisitely detailed and crafted and remains one of the most popular running shows in current history.

Ever since 2004, Lost has gained a cult like following and grows even more intense in its exploration of humanity and the supernatural. Out of abc com tv shows it has been one of my favorites to follow. The Lost series began with a horrific commercial jetliner crash on a deserted island of oblivious proportions. Cast away somewhere deep in the South Pacific, every Wednesday at 9/8c the masses have followed the survivors of a group that was en route from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California. These rogues have been forced to make a living amongst eerie phenomenon and the mundane alike ever since their unfortunate landing mishap stranded them on a beach in the middle of nowhere. Mystery and danger haunt their every step just as secrets and lies threaten to destroy and separate them. Their determinations and relationships to each other conquer and divide many within the group.

The characters struggle onward persisting in their efforts and have encountered polar bears, an odd smoke monster and many strangers along their paths, including island residents better known as “The Others.” They’ve also found unusual bunkers belonging to a group of reclusive scientific researchers called the Dharma Initiative, an ancient statue and a 19th century sailing vessel called “The Black Rock”. The pioneers include the largely admired Jorge Garcia (Hurley), primary leader Matthew Fox (Jack), uniquely transformed Terry O’Quinn (Locke), shipwrecked survivor Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Japanese speaking Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Iraqi veteran Naveen Andrews (Sayid), salty yet sweet Josh Holloway (Sawyer), Other harbored Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), eclectic musician Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), strong yet sullen Evangeline Lilly (Kate), innocuous mother Emilie De Ravin (Claire), anti-hero Michael Emerson (Ben), as well as bilingual mother-to-be Yunjin Kim (Sun).

They succeed and fail at each mission and weave into the strange jungle in order to try to find a way off the island and back to society. Through thick and thin, rise and shine, storms and pain, this abandoned hot mess sticks together despite their personal agendas creating a phenomenal portrayal of chaos and order. Numerous industry awards, including Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards (2005), the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series (2005), the Golden Globe for Best Drama (2006), along with a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series has topped off almost six seasons of tropical bliss. In 2010, Lost will be in its final year of production. This popular and invigorating show keeps you on your toes to the edge of reason. The 2009 TV season will be exquisitely piqued by its presence. It began with a big bang as well as plenty of drama. It will be extreme to find out what will become of our beloved crew.

Every Wednesday evening at 9/8c the saga of Lost persists. Four full seasons have aired, with the fifth currently in progress. The show has gained in popularity as well as success. It began in 2004 when a commercial airplane wrecked upon a seemingly uninhabited island somewhere in the South Pacific en route from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California. Their crash into oblivion left many dead and the survivors were forced to follow their own strengths and follies. They found out that the island they were deserted on held many secrets. Regardless of what obstacles they face, this group of friends, family, strangers and enemies keep working together to tackle the harsh terrain as well as the cruel climate to stay alive.

Danger and mysterious things lurk around every turn, whether it’s a physical thing or a mental one. Their secrets haunt them just as much as survival mode presses them forward in their determinations. There are heroes and there are zeroes in their mess and they all struggle to figure out what is happening and why they are there. The show stars Matthew Fox as Jack, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Evangeline Lilly (Kate), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Terry O’Quinn (Locke), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Naveen Andrews (Sayid),Emilie De Ravin (Claire), Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Yunjin Kim (Sun), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Michael Emerson (Ben), and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet). On their seventy days plus on the island, they’ve encountered a strange smoke monster, several polar bears, odd people along the way including a group of residents better known as “The Others.” They also found signs of other people who were stranded on the island in the past. An ancient statue, a 19th century sailing ship named The Black Rock and bunkers belonging to a rogue group of scientific researchers called the Dharma Initiative were found by the group that unfortunately crash landed.

As in real life, their lives interweave in patterns as they separate to achieve goals and find each other again. They’ve lasted in the tropics throughout thick and thin to shine, receiving acclamations from numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series and Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, and the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. In 2010, a sixth set will be the final year Lost will be produced. This exciting and refreshing show just keeps getting better. I can’t wait to find out what happens next and how the show is going to carry forward since Kate and Sawyer have hooked up, Sun’s baby is on the way and what will become of Charlie and Claire? Just as it began, it will be phenomenal to see how it will end.

For a lot of us - TV shows are like important appointments. We usually don’t forget them unless something more important comes along. So in the case of the missing TV show you might be wondering if it got discontinued or if you really forgot all about it! In a lot of cases shows do get canceled. And yes, it does stink. But hey what are going to do? Call the TV channel? Put out a petition? That’s a no go! In a lot of cases your favorite show really may have gotten canceled and there is not a darn thing you can do about it - except latch yourself on to a new show! One thing I would suggest you do is to check out a few blogs for TV schedules. This will allow you to see if your show really did get canceled or if it just switched nights or times. This has happened to me a lot. It happened with CSI and I was dumbfounded as to how a show that awesome could get canceled. Here it just switched its schedule. So searching for your specific schedule would be a really smart thing to do. This one is a little outdated but nonetheless you will get an idea about what these lists look like:

MONDAY
8:00 The Big Bang Theory
8:30 How I Met Your Mother
9:00 Two and a Half Men
9:30 Worst Week
10:00 CSI: Miami

TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS
9:00 The Mentalist
10:00 Without a Trace

WEDNESDAY
8:00 The New Adventures of Old Christine
8:30 Project Gary
9:00 Criminal Minds
10:00 CSI: NY

THURSDAY
8:00 Survivor
9:00 CSI
10:00 The Eleventh Hour

FRIDAY
8:00 Ghost Whisperer
9:00 The Ex List
10:00 Numb3rs

SUNDAY
7:00 60 Minutes
8:00 The Amazing Race
9:00 Cold Case
10:00 The Unit

Another thing I would suggest doing - if you cant find your TV show is to look online and do a search. Chances are if you have a rift over why your show went missing - others will be talking about it as well. In this case you will find a website or wen page that is pretty much guaranteed to have ALL the canceled shows listed on it. So it might look something like this:

Masters Of Illusion (MNT)
Ending after one season, final episode on 5/18/2009

The Middleman (FAM)
Ending after one season, final episode on 9/1/2008

Mind Of Mencia (COM)
Ending after four seasons, final episode on 7/23/2008

Everything should be in alphabetical order, this is the easiest way to find your poor show that did or didn’t get canceled. If after all that you still cant find your show, the very last thing you can do is either visit the network online and look on their speciality TV schedule or just go ahead and email them and ask what happened to your show! They should email you back in a few days, and then you will finally know what happened! Good luck. I hope your show didn’t get canceled because that puts such a damper on things, doesn’t it?!?

No. I don’t really mean are you a lost fan. Although that would be funny. Instead, I am talking about the show Lost! This show has become one of the most unexpectedly popular shows ever. Seriously. And it’s not another Gilligan’s Island either. This is a good, well thought out show, with amazing character plots, good actors (who doesn’t love Matthew Fox) and a good storyline. Gilligan’s Island could have been over in two episodes. But Lost? This could go on for years to come. They just keep coming up with new things that happen. Alright, here is the back story of the show - after Oceanic Air Flight 815 tears apart in mid-air and crashes on a Pacific island on September 22nd 2004, its survivors are forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discover that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, housing with electricity and hot & cold running water, a group of island residents known as “The Others,” and a mysterious man named Jacob.

Okay, so it’s not for everyone. But if you do like these types of shows or you have seen Lost - you know how addicting it can become! Right now, Lost is in its fifth season! It seems like just the other day I started watching this show — oh wait it was! See, I wasn’t originally interested in this show. But I just happen to catch an episode yesterday and I have to say, I actually liked it! So this is going to be another one that I’ll have to get more into and watch a couple more episodes before I make a definitive decision as if I really like it or not. I hope not. I have too many other shows I watch! Anyway, if you like action, adventure, mystery and a tad of romance - Lost is just the show for you! Check it out Wednesday nights at 9pm Eastern/Pacific and 8pm Central!!!

Oh and by the way, if you have never seen this show and if you don’t know if you will like it or not - you could always watch a few videos online. I was on a website the other day a television blog of sorts. They had ALL the newer shows and the older popular shows available and all kinds of information, episode guides, channel guides, video previews, character guides, etc. So this should be something you are checking out if you want to know more about Lost, or any other show out there. They are really helpful!

When it comes to TV “viewers”, well over 1 billion people around the world watch TV every single day! In fact, according to a report done by Nielsen ratings the US is one of the highest locations of people that watch TV and next to that is Japan! This is why it makes total sense when you look on TV and there are so many different shows in different categories about different things. There has to be in order to make everyone happy! It doesn’t matter if you like comedy and watch shows like 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother or The Office or you like Drama and your addicted to shows like Lost, Prison Break and 24, there is going to be something very fun and exciting you should be looking for when it comes to spending time online.

Recently I found some really nice sites online that are all about television shows and I wouldn’t doubt it if they even had some of your favorites! They have things like preview videos, out takes, TV show descriptions, and TV show schedules. One of my favorite things about sites such as these is the fact that they are so diverse, its crazy! Not only will you find all of your favorite shows, but you can also find shows that you haven’t ever seen before but always wanted to know a little bit more about. For example, I haven’t ever watched 30 Rock, not because I dint want to but because its on the same time as one of my shows. But I hear that it is absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately when it comes to repeats, they just aren’t available yet.

So the next best thing? Websites like this! I can find video reels, a synopsis for the show and even character biographies! So, even though I have never watched the show before, I know all about the show and honestly I wish it was on when one of my other shows wasn’t on. Well hey, at least I can look forward to the summer time when all the televised repeats come on! Then I can finally be in the “loop” when it comes to all my friends - they all are 30 Rock freaks not Grissom (CSI) or Ziva (David from NCIS) freaks! If you want to check up on your shows for scheduled viewings, new preview videos or information about some of your favorite celebrities from the show or if you want to check out something different altogether, these sites are definitely your best bet for information, entertainment and pure fun!

Its said that about 1 billion people watch TV every single day and with stats like this you know there has to be some really great sites out there. But, how do you find them? Which ones are the good ones? And most importantly what are these websites for? Well its pretty simple to realize exactly why you would use websites such as this - it golds a certain sense of entertainment value. I found a few of these different sites online and they all seem to offer different things. It really depends on you and what you want. One site in particular offered videos, video previews, TV news and even other added things like schedules for certain television shows.

These websites have all the major broadcasting channels as well such as NBC, CBS and ABC so you know they are really up to date when it comes to which shows are available now and which ones were available twenty years ago! There is nothing worse than visiting a website only to see they stopped updating it! These websites, or a lot of them anyway, are set up in blog sequencing posts. So lets take a look at a couple of these posts listed below:

- Scrubs Season 8 Premier: Scrubs Cancelled?

- ABC TV: Lost Season 5 Preview

- When are my favorite TV Shows coming? this post was all about the top TV shows and when they are going to be back!

- Fox TV: Prison Break Cancelled

- TV Schedule. An entire schedule for ALL your favorite TV shows on ALL the channels you have for your particular cable company!

There are even a few “biographies” on your favorite celebrities like Wade Williams from Prison Break and Kiefer Sutherland from 24 so you can check these out as well!

As you can see these websites provide not only a ton of information but it really seems that just about anyone can find something on here that they like. Maybe your a spoiler freak and you like watching all the video previews, or maybe you like watching all the famous behind the scenes type videos or who knows maybe what you really enjoy is setting your DVR or TIVO for all the shows your going to watch the whole week (this is totally what I do)! In the end it doesn’t really matter who you are or what your addicting is, as long as you enjoy TV you will definitely enjoy the information and fun these websites can bring to you!

As I watch several different episodes from multiple channels, trying to provide fun information, I can’t seem to get over the amount of commercials.  Obviously, the time of day brings larger and smaller audiences, respectively.  From a marketing perspective, I think of the people watching each show - or the demographic.  As an example, NBC’s “30 Rock“, targets the 18-49 year old group as does “The Office“, “CSI”, etc. 

Knowing each demographic and when they are watching is important to advertisers.  It is also very expensive.  A specific ad placed randomly throughout the day will be less expensive than primetime tv at a specific time, such as 7:00pm for CBS’s, “60 Minutes”.  According to Wikipedia, there can be as much as 15 minutes per one-hour episode of commercials.  If each commercial is 30-seconds to 1-minute, then we are witnessing 15-30 commercials an hour!  When the SuperBowl comes around, and we hear those amazing statistics about cost per ad, such as $2 Million for each commercial in the 1st quarter, I will let you know how many are for the sporting event. 

What is your opinion of having so many ads per episode?  Do you find most of them useful?  How do you view the new interactive ads asking viewers to watch an episode, find a clue, then go to their Web site and enter the answer resulting in a reward? 

In my opinion, I think that is good marketing.  Reward the viewer for enjoying not only the tv show and episode, but sitting around for the ads as well.  Everyone wins in that picture!

Lost, without any second thought, was considered as one of the biggest hit drama series aired on ABC. Conceived to offer a high quality entertainment throughput by JJ Abrams and Damon Linderof, Lost is again going to punch the TV screens on every Wednesday night at 9:00 PM Eastern/Pacific and 8:00 PM Central, beginning January 21, 2009. Of course, now the audience will witness a sensational hour that offers in bulk, the show’s awesome and puzzling mysteries and their answers. It was supposed to be the most promising series for the season and a must-see TV show on ABC. With a thrilling background and filmed in Hawaii, it stored a snooping depiction about a group of lively airplane passengers who met with a plane crash. Lost became the amazing trail about those feeble commuters on a tropical island and their survival journey among the intense shriek of the baffling creatures stalking the island.

Lost portrayed a number of vibrant characters with vivid mindsets that made the story revolve around. Those stunning characters include an ethereal-looking female bank robber; a former Iraqi soldier; a resentful African-American child with telekinetic abilities and a paraplegic who stuck in a time warp of destiny. Numerous tremendous situations had given a chance to explore the characters where everyone concealing some hush-hush or ordeal, drug addiction, armed robbery and assassin motives.

In its every season, Lost has accumulated the crushing audience retort with its tense emotional wandering in which secrets were revealed, questions were answered and new mysteries were knocked for more puzzles.
So it’s a worthy watch to keep eye on a group of 48 survivors, marooned on an island after a disastrous plane hurtle.
