Lost Sets An End Date

i really appreciate it when a show can end the way it is supposed to, the way the creators intended for it to end. Lost is going to get one such ending.

it has been announced that the producers of the show and abc have signed a deal that will keep the show on the air for three more 16-episode seasons. everyone seems happy with the deal and it means they can conclude the series the way they always intended which i am very happy to see, since it doesn't always end up that way (shows get canceled, initial creators leave a show, etc). the producers have said that from the beginning they saw the show as about a 90-100 hour series, and with the upcoming 48 hours they will end up with a total of 119.

yes, 16 episodes is a short season compared to the 20-24 that usually make up a network show, however, they will be presented in full blocks without repeats and/or season breaks. So, in 2010 all will finally be revealed.
