The final season of "Lost" begins tonight at 9pm on ABC - can we believe it?
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).There's been a bunch of Twitter nonsense from spoilers out there who have seen the "leaked" first hour of the premiere episode but The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that a lot of hardcore fans have refused to watch the episode, as Orson Welles would have said, before its time. It's surprising the showrunners, the network, and just about everybody else that there are people who have just a little bit of self-control. Enjoy the episode, and don't worry about following us on Twitter as we are not spoilers and will not eff up your evening.

Last Night: "Men of a Certain Age" met all expectations, if you missed it catch a repeat of it again this week. Note that the show is on hiatus next week and will return on the 15th (we will remind you). "24" was kind of 'feh' as was "House". Thankfully we've had a chance to catch up on "Damages" and "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" due to their rebroadcast - both were pretty damn good if not completely different.
