Yeah, ten years is prob not all doing actual filiming, just a contract for spinoff's reruns, and a possible movie. I'm sure it's standard and gets washed away if the show is a failure, but if it happens to catch fire like Lost did, then the original broadcasters gets a benefit, cheap work signed years ealier on a show that makes millions. I mean, who was really a big star on the show before this. The Hobbit, not likely, Matthew Fox maybe, people have seen O'Quinn(locke), but only if you watch ABC.

AS long as Michael doesnt get any more work.

Satudaynight live is more like the simpsons in that they have more freedom on a season to season basis. This show cannot be compared to it becuase there is a specific sotry line that nees to be followed and finished. This LOST show cant bomb for a few years and still get broadcast. Saturday night live HAS and WILL.

So true...love SNL, Matthew Fox did a great job. Although kinda weird to see him do comedy, he is normally running from smoke or operating on evil. As for Lost ending...NOOOOOO! I'm ok...really. (:
