Lost Premiere Date!

What a happy surprise! I didn't think they were coming back till February! And a Wednesday at 9, so much better than a Thursday at 10 as predicted!

According to Entertainment Weekly, "Lost" is returning with a two-hour season premiere on January 21, 2009 at 8 p.m. That's a Wednesday. And EW's source says that, after the premiere, the show's regular timeslot will be Wednesdays from 9-10 p.m.

I'm so glad Thursdays are out of the picture for now. I prefer "Lost" on Wednesdays, rather than in an already crowded Thursday schedule. This is great news, yes?

UPDATE Saturday morning: According to Broadcasting & Cable, the two-hour premiere will begin at 9 p.m., preceded at 8 by a catch-up clips show.
