Has ABC ‘Lost’ It?

BAD DECISIONS TURN A TV CHAMP INTO A TV CHUMP

Leave it to the ‘Disney Network’ to take a good thing and ruin it for everybody.  Remember those halcyon sweeps periods of past in which Who Wants To Be A Millionaire ‘ruled the roost’ and saved the network for pinheads from hitting rock bottom?  It only took a few short months of Regis Philbin repeatedly asking, “Is that your final answer?” to drive the once-popular game show straight into TV land’s dumpster.  Fortunately, even as Regis faltered in the ratings, ABC proved that it was more than just an outlet for silly sitcoms and unfunny home videos.  They learned that less was more, but for a program like Lost, less may mean less.
