Is LOST Lost?

I wonder what effect the three month long hiatus of LOST will have on its fan base? Isn't there a danger of losing your viewers to another show by staying away so long? I don't think going away in mid-season is the same as going away for the summer months.
 
I really stopped watching it because of the stunts ABC pulls with the show.
Maybe they figure the fan base is loyal enough to still watch, but it makes me feel if I was robbed.
 
Years ago, I was a fan of NYPD Blue until one year they didn't show the season opener until about mid-November. By that point I was on to something else and never made my way back. I think this is a big risk they are taking by going away for three months in the dead of winter when a lot of people are watching TV. If you get wrapped up in another show now, are you going to abandon that to go back to Lost? I am just a semi-regular viewer of Lost and really don't care one way or another, but I think history shows that stunts like this irritate the hard-core fans.
 
The Hiatus sounds long, but let's face it in regular television once december hits most of the programs are in reuns or replaced with various Christmas programming. Besides extended hiatus has worked for Fox who pre-empted it's entire schedule for a month for baseball. It's also worked for the Soprano's, 24, and American Idol. Lost will get its audience back.

The producers have also promised some webisodes, and other treats to tide the diehead fans over.

Last years argument was that their were too many reruns. So this seems to fix that criticism.

As for other stunts reguarding Lost? I don't know what your refering to.
 
I think "NYPD Blue" started its next-to-last season (2002-03?) in January of that season, which resulted in a long uninterrupted run.
 
What ever happend to that reality show that was also called lost?

The one where they fly couples in a plane blindfolded to some far off place and tell them to find their own way back home somehow...

(Now that's LOST!)

I think Fox Reality Channel was running that for a while.
