Angry Contact Abc About To Many Commercials

Hey Lost Fans How Many Minutes Of Lost Do We Really Get? If Your Like Me I Feel Bombarded And Can't Enjoy The Show As It Seems After Every 10 Minutes Then They Pause For 5 Minutes Of Commercials . Lets Try To Stop This Contact Abc And Let Them Know We Don't Mind A Commercial Every 20 Min Or So But Give Us A Break......

episodes are typically around 40 minutes. I will agree that tonights episode did seem a little short of that.

I just commented on that in another thread....It is absolutely ridiculous how many commercials there are. I almost gave up watching Lost because of this last year....but I keep coming back. That's why they do it, they know we'll be back. It still sucks.

They had so many Eli Stone commercials last week there was no way I was watching that show.

I hate how they are trying to get us lost fans to watch that show by the first eposide with the oceanic ad and this eposide a music video for lost.

I just watch the show on abc.com and there's a couple of 30 sec commercials. I don't think I could handle watching it with commercials considering I watched all the seasons online with no commercials.

I say give ABC a break. This writer's strike has to have their advertising revenues all screwed up. They give us the show for free. Lost is probably carrying the entire network right now.

Chill yo... Commercials pay for Lost to be on the air! Besides, just do what I do, and use the commercial breaks to chat theories with my friends about what we have just seen. Peace! :-)

Man, I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me there, I think we really only got like 25-30 minutets of lost in that one. It did seem really short. Man I hope the whole season isn't like this, nothing really happened, but we were filled in on lots of questions.
