From Chicago Tribune (in part):
LOS ANGELES -- Hoping to lure some of the burgeoning Latino market to its wares, ABC says it will offer the hit "Lost" and all of its prime-time entertainment programming in Spanish this season, Zap2it.com reports.
Four shows -- the returning dramas "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" and comedies "George Lopez" and "Freddie" -- will be dubbed into Spanish, as will some specials and showings of theatrical movies. The remainder of ABC's shows will be closed-captioned in Spanish.
"We wanted to move beyond toe-dipping and really dive in," says Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment.
When does the new season start? I skimmed back a bit but didn't see anything (which might say something about my skimming abilities).
A mere six days! Has the promo been shown on the network?
I have been watching the posting count on this thread, waiting for the
Firefly-
like asymptote behind the DVD release. It never came. The disc is doing huge numbers. Why are the newbies not showing up?
Why would newbies show up for
Lost
discussion on a Buffy-centric board?
Maybe that stuff doesn't work with mainstream hits.
I bought the set on Monday, and watched the Extras disc almost all the way through (I still haven't seen the deleted scenes yet, except for the two flashbacks from the final ep). I watched "Walkabout" first among the eps, just because it's my favorite and it's on the first disc, and then I saw the pilot. I'm still trying to get through the commentary on the pilot (I really shouldn't start watching it at 12:30 at night, since commentaries always put me to sleep if I'm the slightest bit tired). I am enjoying the "extended commentary" approach, where the commentators say, "Just watch this!" and the ep itself pauses for a behind-the-scenes look at what scene is on the screen at that moment. Finding Nemo did this as well, and I like it as an innovation on the commentary.
Ooh, that sounds really cool! Dammit, I need to find some money or convince myself I can afford them.
