Lost is not part of the fall season. It is part of the "Spring" lineup. Which means it will debut in February for some strange reason...guess in Hollywood February is spring?

"uh...'Lost' premieres...when?!?!"

I'm wondering the same thing. I know it's going to be either January or February, but I'd rather know now.

Scrub will be coming in mid-season, right after the Christmas hiatus and will run straight till end of May.
What ABC is announcing is the fall line-up

I hope David Blaine's newest trick is hanging off a pole by his neck for forty-eight hours. That might be worth watching.
