Hey, LOST won an award!

Quote:

The Sixth Annual Family Television Awards was held on December 1 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and recognized honorees in seven categories for their contributions to outstanding family entertainment. The show will be televised on The WB Network on Thursday, December 9 from 9 - 10 p.m. EST. Lori Loughlin of The WB hit series "Summerland" is the host.

KILLER SERIALS: What do the survival drama "Lost" and sudsy soaper "Desperate Housewives" have in common? They both signal the welcome return of the serialized drama.

I just love weekly cliffhangers on shows that darn near demand that you see every single episode. The best seasons of "Angel," "24" and "Alias," as well as a whole host of sci-fi dramas, have a strong serialized component with complex plots stretching out over multiple episodes and character arcs getting loving, extended development.

I'm not a huge fan of "Desperate Housewives," but the show is undeniably skilled at getting you to tune in each week and find out what happens next. As for "Lost," I can hardly wait for each commercial break to end, let alone wait a week between episodes.

Serialized dramas have always had to fend off meddling network suits, who want purely self-contained episodes that could potentially sell better in the syndication market. But the DVD market may be changing that.

"24" and "Alias" sold very well on DVD, and those sales helped both programs stay on the air. "Lost" and "Housewives" will no doubt also rake in a ton of cash when they come out on DVD, as is almost always the case with serialized dramas, even cult fare such as "Babylon 5."

I hope the current success and future DVD earnings of both "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives embolden TV types to keep on commissioning complex, grippingly serialized storytelling. We viewers can keep up, I promise.

'LOST' LOVER: One of the most pressing question questions confronting our nation is: Jack, Sawyer or Sayid?

We're talking about "Lost," of course, ABC's stranded-survivor drama, which we'd rather eat sand than miss.

Fans of the show are hotly debating whom the lovely castaway Kate (Evangeline Lilly) should end up with -- should it be the brave doctor, Jack (Matthew Fox), the rascally con man, Sawyer (Josh Holloway), or the conflicted former Iraqi Army officer, Sayid (Naveen Andrews)?

The "shipper" (as in pro-relationship) chatter on the "Lost" message boards on ABC.com is getting positively metaphysical: "I think who you root for shows something about your personality. … I think Jack and Kate are representative of old-fashioned romance. That kind where it starts as a delicate flower and it sort of blossoms with tender loving care and nurturing. … And with Kate and Sawyer, it's very tense, edgy, a possible love/hate kinda energy, unsettling, darker, but also redeeming in the sense [people] hope his soul can be saved by love," a poster named banshee006 noted.

Though they don't have as many online advocates, I see some sparks between Kate and Sayid, but overall I'd put myself in the Kate-Sawyer camp (I just can't deny Holloway's bad-boy charisma).

As for Kate and Jack ending up together, that just seems too predictable. Maybe the writers can have them yearn for each other but not get together until the second season. (And by the way, what will the writers do in the show's second season – find another island for the cast to get lost on?)

Vote for the castaway you think Kate should end up with on the poll to the left.(here)

The television writer for my local newspaper just did a HUGE article on Lost. Here are some bits of new info:

"Hurley (Jorge Garcia) is the large, friendly man we know too little about. But that's going to change in a future episode in which we discover that he acheived the American dream, only to have things go oh-so-wrong."

"In a recent interview with "Lost" producers Bryan Burk, Damon Lindelof and JJ Abrams, the trio said that Claire was still pregnant and promised "the monster" would be revealed before the end of the season. They did give us one clue: It isn't a dinosaur. We also got him to admit that this thing is bigger than a breadbox (much) and lives in the trees.
But other intrigues will remain.
"There is another mystery that will make the monster pale in comparison," Lindelof promises.""

"We know that actor Greg Grunberg was asked to come back for the season finale. He was the pilot we saw getting ripped out of the cockpit and brutally killed by something we think is the monster.
Or was he killed?"

The article also said that they were going to show the monster in the Boone episode, but they put it off because of the sucess of the show.
