ABC show starts strong, but can't defeat 'Idol'

By STUART LEVINE


The hugely anticipated two-hour final-season premiere of "Lost" improved by 12% over last season's debut episode and drew 12.1 million viewers Tuesday night. The strong showing, however, wasn't enough to defeat Fox, which offered a potent combination of "American Idol" and "Kitchen Nightmares."Source & More: variety.com (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118014638.html?categoryid=14&cs=1&ref=verttv)

Too bad, but Idol is a pretty tough nut to crack. I think Lost has lost a lot of viewers over time due to the tangled storyline; I for one am not one of them, I can't wait to see where the writers are going with it. :D
