I cannot believe it's only been a week since the premiere. Seems like forever..... Don't forget, ABC will be running the first two eps back to back this Saturday. |
:up:

Looks like nobody's more surprised by the show's success than some top Di$ney execs.
I found this at IMDB... Disney President and COO Bob Iger, who is CEO Michael Eisner's choice to succeed him, was "furious" with former ABC Entertainment Chairman Lloyd Braun for greenlighting the pilot for Lost, which has become the biggest new hit of the season, the New York Post's "Page Six" column reported today (Tuesday), citing an unnamed source. "He hated the show -- he thought it was awful and was really angry the pilot cost $12 million. He got Michael Eisner on his side and fired Lloyd. But now the show is the biggest success ABC has had in a long time, so who's lost now?" the Post's source said. A spokesman for Disney called the report "ridiculous." |
Doesn't that always seem to be the case? I can remember plenty of pilots the network "hated", only to go on and become big hits. Network execs think they know everything, but they aren't any better than some Joe off the street at picking hits.

lets just hope the ratings for this ep. stay consistent to part 1.
|
$12 million for the pilot? -eek-
|
You guys are in for a huge treat tonight. The ending is just -eek-!
|
Unless there are a bunch of special effects tonight, I don't see how it could cost $12M. I only remember the engine explosion from part one that might have cost some $$ but the rest was just having plane parts layning around and some trees being shaken.

Let's not forget that $12M would be peanuts for a movie budget, and I thought last week's episode had the production values of a movie. |
Haha...I love stories like the one about Bob Iger above. "What??!, you greenlighted a quality show with good production values?!?" We could have produced 3 or 4 cop dramas or unfunny sitcoms for that!" As I've long suspected, if a quality show makes it's way to one of the networks it's gotta be an accident.
Glad to hear this is a hit so far. If last weeks wouldn've performed poorly, ABC probably would have yanked it before airing the 2nd half. |
Originally posted by Damfino I suspect the location shooting drove up the budget due to travel & accomodations for the cast and crew. Let's not forget that $12M would be peanuts for a movie budget, and I thought last week's episode had the production values of a movie. I cheated and watched the second episode, and it pissed me off that I did, because now I have to wait longer for the third episode. It was better than the first episode, IMO, and really it would be better to watch them back to back. |
Doesn't that always seem to be the case? I can remember plenty of pilots the network "hated", only to go on and become big hits. I was lucky to see the show before it premiered and I love it. I hope it stays as good going forward. |
can't wait to get home from class to watch this tonight. this episode has priority over all, including cracking into S4 ST:VOY. -eek-
|
Great episode! The ending in itself garantees that once you've seen it, you won't stop watching until the season ends!
I dont see how the 2 episodes could have cost 12 million though... |
Very nice. All around.
|
Can't wait to see both episodes back to back on Saturday night.
|
great episode
|
Damn, this show is awesome.
And Kate is the prisoner - nice touch. And her escort, the U.S. Marshall, was the guy w/ shrapnel. :up: |
Well, I liked what I saw. But I can see myself slipping away should they string things out too long.
|
the first 40 minutes or so were kind of blahm but the last 15-20 really kicked it into high gear. kate is the prisoner and the message has been playing for 16 years!! excellent stuff.
