I was wondering if the ratings include the people who record. I thought I read somewhere once that Tivo can track what people watch for rating purposes. In this day and age, if people recording shows are not included in the rating algorythm then I would think the ratings were a bit skewed.

BuddyTV - Lost's Future is Bright, Despite Ratings Decline

I think it was Valentine's Day and the fact that it was off the air for a L>>>>O>>>>N>>>>G time, people might have gotten it out of their systems. Also that there seemed to be 40 minutes of commercials to 20 minutes of show that first episode. It drove me CRAZY, so maybe that drove some people away.

I think it has lower 'live' ratings, because fans know you wont catch the 'whole subliminal thing' of an ep without watching a couple of times anyway...might as well record it if you're gonna have to watch it slow anyways...

Apparently it's the most TiVO'd show on TV...which obviously annoys networks...

Thanks for the update Skaught. I feel quite certain that will all be around when, sadly, the show has a finale. good work.

i hope lost gets cancelled soon. i think the writers have lost their focus and i just don't see the point anymore. The first season was amazing and the characters were great, now i just don't see the point, Desmond is interesting, if they focus the show more on him that will be a step in the right direction. The others have been pointless, puppert masters that are messing with the audience for their own boring 'experiments' like how much bs people will take before they give up on the show.
