LOST is the new black

I wrote a few days ago that gay-themed shows were the new black. I'll now clarify that they're the new black as a genre of shows.

LOST, with its whopping 6.8 rating among 18-49 year olds, is the highest-rated new show.

I'll give it another look next week and try to skip TOP MODEL.

LOST's nearest competition was NBC's HAWAII. I predict it will be canceled soon, if not for NBC lacking something to replace it. But I think NBC has plenty of FEAR FACTOR reruns on the ready.

In the key demo, it's essentially a 5-way-tie for last place on Wednesday nights. Household numbers are a little different but not by much.

I am thrilled for my man J.J. Abrams and ABC.
