Confusing 'Lost' Takes Back Seat To The Easier-To-Follow Horny Doctors Of 'Grey's' [Lost]

Confusing 'Lost' Takes Back Seat To The Easier-To-Follow Horny Doctors Of 'Grey's' [Lost]
In a stunning victory for lovers of linear medical serials peopled by a variety of horny doctors prone to solipsistic monologue-delivery over aficionados of tropical sci-fi adventures with a penchant for adding confounding new plot elements without explaining the significance of the approximately two dozen such elements introduced prior, ABC has announced a Thursday night programming shift. The network will be returning Grey's Anatomy to the prime, Thursday-at-9 spot on their post-strike schedule, bumping Lost to the less-desirable 10 p.m. slot:

[T]he medical drama will come back to the tentpole 9 p.m. period for five original episodes beginning April 24.
"Lost" will also air the first of five originals on that date. But the drama will find itself in a slot with lower viewing levels, and the show notably declined after shifting from 9 p.m. Wednesdays to 10 p.m. last season. "Lost," however, might gain significantly from a large "Grey's" lead-in, even if their respective audiences are not perfectly compatible.

Lost fans, meanwhile, needn't worry that this maneuver signifies a lack of confidence on the part of the network: Insisting that they have committed to seeing the tale of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 through to its May 2010 conclusion, not even further audience erosion due in part to a plot that not even their returning writing staff can keep track of will result in an abruptly premature finale, in which Dominic Monaghan is seen soaping himself in a steamy shower, only to be discovered by a disoriented, recently roused Victoria Principal.
