Remember back when we were kids, mini-series were the big thing. They were on all the time and got good ratings. Some of my favorite TV from my childhood was mini-series like "V" or "North and South" or "Lonesome Dove."
Wouldn't Lost have made an awesome 8 to 12 hour miniseries? They could have gotten rid of all that backstory crap and just pushed the action on the island.
I do remember V, they also replayed the whole series about 3 years ago, think it was the sci-fi channel, and it was awesome.
Shows like this would be much better if they had a plan, start to finish, for 3 or 4 seasons and that's it. Move to something bigger and better, but they want to milk it as much as they can. In the end we end up not knowing anything.
I started watching a show online from Fox, Vanished. It had a good story and interesting development. Well I got into it without knowing it was cancelled. I watched the first 13 episodes or so, and that's it, I am now wanting more or to know the end and never will.
Hopefully is not that bad for Lost, but I feel it will all end up to quick and will be dissapointing.
i remember "V" too, it was great
and i completely agree, miniseries with set storyline are much better,
sad to say, almost all modern TV-Series has variable storyline and almost infinite number of episodes (seasons), and that basically kills series quality
