Can The Nine Survive Following Lost?

buddytv · 10-04-2006, 12:00 PM

<div class="btvarticle"><strong>Lost</strong> is the most intellectually taxing program on network television. It takes the full concentration of the viewer, who must recall information from the entire run of the show and actively attempt to figure out what the hell is going at least a couple of times per episode. Even then, the surprises and twists come out of nowhere and punch the viewer in the proverbial stomach. AND EVEN THEN, there are still nagging loose ends and thought-provoking cliffhangers to deal with. After an episode of <strong>Lost</strong>, you could use a stiff drink (or a cigarette or a trip to the opium den). After I watch <strong>Lost</strong>, I either want to keep watching <strong>Lost</strong> (DVDs are the best) or do nothing. What I especially don't want to do is switch gears and watch something else that stimulates me intellectually. This is why ABC is making a foolish decision in placing newcomer <strong>The Nine</strong> in the seemingly coveted post-<strong>Lost</strong> time slot.

I don't think Invasion was that good, personally, and I'm guessing that is why it wasnt successful.  The Nine does look very good and I'll be tuned after Lost to watch it<br />

I actually agree.  I always feel kinda drained after watching Lost and have a hard time concetrating on anything else.  There's just so much to think about.<br />

So true, I love Lost, and the Nine looks really interesting,... I really want to watch both, but my brain wont be able to handle so much intense TV in so little time. I'll probably just stick with Lost.<br />

I have ot say I think this question was answered by episode 2 yesterday. It was gripping and endearing at the same time.  The question was whether we will care about thos people has been answered. I like http://www.fidelityrepublic.com/ on The Nine.
