On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So VM, The Inside and Lost all on at the same time

No -- Lost, VM, and American Idol all on at the same time.

Which, honestly, sucks more for VM than The Inside ever could.

Well UPN renewed VM when the ratings were sucky, so they obviously want it, and have faith, but putting it up against Lost seems a strange decision.

Personally I'm finding it difficult regaining the Lost interest after the five year hiatus.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

They might not have planned to put it up against "Lost." Didn't ABC change "Lost's" timeslot?

It could be that UPN may change the timeslot now.

Bwah! Happily, I enjoyed "Born to Run" enough to get me back in the groove the last couple of weeks. But you make a valid point. Note to JJ Abrams: start show in November next season.

Well, they meant to give it the lead-in from ANTM, so I think that they did that on purpose.

Being an ignorant Brit i need to ask, is that a good thing for VM?

ANTM is apparently one of UPNs top ratings earners.

Okay, that's a good thing then.

Also, ANTM attracts a young and female demographic that might well stay tuned for VM, so that's good too. It's not a case of Angel's leadin being that dreadful show about the preacher's family....

Well, except that dreadful show is the WB's top ratings earner . . . so hard to believe.
