Poor Lost…it just can’t catch a break.  Put it on at 8/7c, and it’s too early…put it on at 10/9c, and it’s too late.  Put it on in between, and it’s up against ‘Idol’.  Zap2It reports:

In Tuesday’s announcement of the schedule for 2007-08, McPherson didn’t give “Lost” a specific spot in the lineup when it returns, most likely in February 2008. He did say it’s likely to remain on Wednesdays, and reiterated that he’d like the show to air before 10 p.m., but where it lands will depend on how ABC’s lineup performs in the first half of the season.

I understand the desire to have it earlier in the night, but, unless it goes back to Season One ratings, and quality for that matter, it has no chance against ‘Idol’.
