A smart alec has defiled this heartfelt plea for LOST sunglasses in Burbank. Oh cruel world.

Videos: LOST Was Lost One Year Ago Today, We Have To Go Back!
Will you go back to the island with me? Please circle yes or no. With a year of LOST recovery behind us (and a lifetime to go) it's only fitting to honor the anniversary of the series finale with a video lunch roundup of tributes, parodies, re-imagined title sequences, and nostalgia-inducing montages.
Winklevoss Twins Lose Appeal Over Facebook Settlement
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's Harvard classmates Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss "were savvy enough to understand what they were agreeing to" when they inked a 2008 $20 million cash deal over the social networking site, and "can't undo the settlement," reports the Associated Press.

TV Junkie: 'Lost' Epilogue on DVD Set; More Fallon Ustreaming
"Lost" epilogue in the DVD set that will explain a few things. See the interview clip of him on G4's "Attack of the Show" at the end of this post. Speaking of G4, you are cordially invited to vote on their E3 '10 Booth Babes between now and June 4th - winner to be announced on June 15th on "Attack of the Show".
TV Junkie: Tour of California Finale; 'Lost' Finale
Supposedly the cycling world was "rocked" by the allegations of doping that ex-Tour de France winner Floyd Landis made about his former teammates at US Postal Service. This weekend not only marks the finale of the Amgen Tour of California (be sure to watch today through Sunday as all these stages will be going through the greater-Los Angeles area) but it also marks the finale of Floyd Landis' credibility.
Are You Ready for 'LOST' to End? Events Around L.A. Will Celebrate the Finale
As the LOST phenomenon comes to an end this Sunday, fans around the country are making plans to celebrate the only way they know how: over the top, obsessive, and with other addicts. Facing the reality that this is the last episode ever, fans seem to be seeking out other people who will appreciate it just as much.
TV Junkie: '24' & 'Lost' Finales Get Set Up; Versus #fail Tour of California
In last night's penultimate episode of "24" we (finally) experienced some of the uncompromising action that made the series so exciting when it first debuted almost nine years ago. Now the stage has been set for next Monday's finale, it's official: it's Jack Bauer vs. the World. We're tuning into "Lost" tonight to see how they're setting up for Sunday's finale.
TV Junkie: 'Lost' Auction; Daytime Emmy Noms
"Lost" fans/self-abusers should be psyched about the auction of 10 pages of props, costumes, and set pieces from the show. A date hasn't been set for the auction yet, other than it will be during "the summer".
TV Junkie: White Does Right
In case you missed Betty White's appearance on "SNL" Mashable's got all the clips including the dress rehearsal skits that didn't make it to the live broadcast. The show was also a reunion for former regulars including Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon. The Facebook movement to get White on the show as host resulted in hype that ensured the largest "SNL" audience since the fall of 2008 (remember their election surge?).
TV Junkie: Lost...
"Lost" Spoiler Alert: We could write about "Lost" all day, every day and not come close to the amount of theories the uber-pundit megafans seem to spew 24/7 so we won't even try to compete but last night can't pass without us saying something about it: holy shit.
Is it good news or not that the "Lost" series finale will now run from 9-11:30pm on May 23rd? Does this extension mean that we will "lose" everyone?
TV Junkie: Its Name is 'LOLA'; 'Glee' Returns
It's been a rumor for months but now it's confirmed, NBC is moving ahead with "Law & Order: Los Angeles" (aka "LOLA"?) - that makes 4 series concurrently running on television which seems like more original programming than The CW produces so why not get it over with and have a "Law & Order" network?
TV Junkie: Friday Nights Are Back on Network Radar; 'Southland' Season Finale
According to this story on The Hollywood Reporter, finally Friday nights are getting a second look by the networks. As a kid of the '70s and '80s, we remember Friday nights being a big deal only to see the night turn into reruns sometime in the '90s. We don't really see a lot of value in "Ghost Whisperer" and "Medium" and neither do viewers as the ratings for those shows have been trending lower.
TV Junkie: New 'Lost' & 'Southland' Tonight + Late Night Delights
The TV Junkie Plan: @aots (OK Go, Marvel Comics unveils), "Lost", "Southland" (unseen episodes), "The Daily Show", Letterman, Ferguson (Steven Wright!)
TV Junkie: 'Lost' Final Season Begins Tonight
Nothing can eclipse tonight's premiere of the final season of "Lost" on ABC. The real show starts at 9pm (2-hours long) but it's preceded by a rehash/review "Beginning of the End" show at 8pm in an attempt to refresh your brain (good luck).

Photo Essay: Day 1 at Comic-Con 2009
It's that time of year again, when many LA residents (along with others from around the world) make the trek to Comic-Con in San Diego. Given that 125,000 people are attending the convention this year, navigating the Comic-Con exhibit hall is an event in itself. And although the main costume spectacle will take place during Saturday night's masquerade, today's crop didn't disappoint!
TV Junkie: 'Lost' Season Finale; Colber(t)'s Birthday; PBS Changes
For people who like real news other than the BBC should know that there are huge changes happening over at PBS with regards to "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer". Starting in September, the show will change its name to "PBS NewsHour" and along with an online correspondent, will have two anchors move from a single-anchor format to one with two anchors.
TV Junkie: 'The Office' Continues Spawning; 'Hello' Vid from Conan; The CW Punts Sundays
The CW announced Monday night that they would be giving back control of Sunday programming to their affiliate stations. It's been over a year and a half since The CW launched a new program for Sunday nights, "Life Is Wild", which was very short-lived. It appears that the network can't fund a couple hours of competitive TV on Sundays and that the affiliates can make more money hawking reruns of long-dead series rather than original programming from The CW.
TV Junkie: It's Time To Waterboard Hannity; Get Tix For Conan; 'Lost' 100th, 'Diggnation' 200th
Keith Olbermann wants to take up Sean Hannity on an offer to undergo waterboarding - Obermann is offering $1000 for every second Hannity undergoes the procedure. It's time to man up Sean.
TV Junkie: Cowell Says 'No' To Slippage; 'Millionaire' Returns Briefly
The TV Junkie Plan: "Better Off Ted", "Lost" (maybe), "MythBusters" (if not "Lost"), "South Park", "Reno 911!", Letterman, Fallon.
TV Junkie: Ugh, Twitter Battle between Ashton Kutcher & CNN
The TV Junkie Plan: "Better Off Ted", "Lost", "South Park", "Reno 911!", Leno, Fallon
TV Junkie: Harold & Kumar Go To The White House (wait, just Kumar)
In case you didn't hear about it yet, but internist Dr. Kutner on FOX's "House" committed suicide in Monday's episode. This was hastily written into the script as the real-life Kal Penn is leaving acting for a while to go work for the Obama administration in the Office of Public Liaison. This also means no more Harold & Kumar movies for a while, so we're all sacrificing here - but seriously, congrats Kal and godspeed.
TV Junkie: 'Damages' Season(?) Finale
Tonight's season finale of "Damages" promises to be a nail-biter - we know where we'll be at 10pm. As it approaches, we wonder how there could possibly a third season after this, but that's the result of great writing. Unfortunately it's conflicting with the season premiere of "Reno 911!" but we take solace in the fact that it airs again later, because we're cheap that way.
TV Junkie: Lopez to Have Late Night Show; Letterman Weds
Late night news: TBS is building a late night show around comedian/actor George Lopez (whom we have loved as Mayor Hernandez on "Reno 911"). The hour-long show will air at 11pm, Monday through Fridays but we're not so sure that it's a good move to go head to head with local news. We'll see what happens when the show launches. TBS has dabbled in late night comedy, with the Frank Caliendo vehicle, "Frank TV", which has not been renewed, and the admirable "10 Items or Less", headed by John Lehr, which is up for renewal now.
TV Junkie: Ad Spending Down - Cable Doing Well; Zucker Defends Cramer
Ad spending in the US dropped by 2.6% in 2008, with only cable increasing ad revenue for the year. TV and cable still retained a leadership position as the preferred media, taking more than 60% of all ad dollars.
TV Junkie: Give Fallon Time; Models vs. 'Lost' & 'Damages'
Critics are being rather forgiving of Jimmy Fallon's (only slightly shaky IMHO) "Late Night" debut: they brought out DeNiro who is always a tough interview and Fallon kind of made it work, and Timberlake kind of saved the first show - not sure why they had Van Morrison on, are they trying to reclaim the age 55-and-up demographic?
TV Junkie: Richter Returns to Conan; Rickles a Treasure; 'Top Chef' Finale
It looks like Andy Richter will be returning to the side of Conan O'Brien when he fires up his version of "The Tonight Show" starting on June 1st. Richter will be the announcer for the show and will appear in comedy sketches but it's not clear if he will be a fixture on the guest couch a la Ed McMahon. Now that the Academy Awards are over with and Conan has shut down production, late night TV is a wasteland this week other than Jimmy Kimmel.
