I was flipping through channels today and “Executive Decision” was on AMC.  I caught a glimpse of the side of the plane and imagine my surprise!

According to TV Guide’s new poll of America’s Favorite TV Cast’s of all time, The West Wing came in at number one and Lost at #2.  Don’t we know it!

Hi Lost friends!  Make sure to go to TV.com and vote for Lost as best series finale of 2010.  You can vote as many times as you would like as well.  You have what it takes!

I love this new show and didn’t think about the similarites.  If you haven’t watched The Walking Dead yet, I highly recomend that you check it out.  It’s so good that I was considering starting a blog about this show.

Have you forgotten about me yet?  Has the magic of The End faded?

I’ve only been able to watch the finale once since… the finale … and only because I had to blog.  I think I need therapy.  I just can’t bring myself to watch it again.  Maybe because I don’t want to admit it’s over.  I had a friend who passed many years ago and I still have her number in my phone.  Told ya I need some therapy.

Anyway, TV hasn’t been the same since May 23 but I did catch an amazing new show on AMC, The Walking Dead, and it makes me want to blog again.  Now that is some good TV!  Yes, it’s about zombies technically… but Lost was about survivors on an island so don’t be quick to judge.  Check it out, see what you think.  I’ll probably be dropping a few lines here about it too.  Not your typical TV fare which makes it extra special in my book.

I hope this is it!  JJ is pitching a comedic drama about two former black-ops featuring, you guessed it, Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson!  Will Hurley get a walk on part?

This idea is so-so to me.  If JJ wants to give us seven minutes in heaven he could give us more Lost!

J.J. Abrams playing ‘7 Minutes in Heaven’

J.J. Abrams and the folks at Bad Robot have conquered the art of the high-concept pitch. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision Blog, Abrams’ company has picked up an idea from Lost director Jack Bender that goes a little something like this: Two teens at a party play 7 Minutes in Heaven, and when they emerge from the closet, everyone else in the house is dead. I don’t have any idea who’s going to be in the movie, who will direct, or even a clue beyond that 21-word plot description, but I’m already digging into my wallet.

Anyone who’s seen Abrams’ trailers for Cloverfield and Super 8 knows he’s a master of the less-is-more approach, the I’m-not-sure-what-I-just saw-but-I-want-more school of salesmanship. His projects typically have a sharp hook, and just a taste of the story is often enough to reel in an audience. No wonder he’s a green-light machine.

Does the short pitch for 7 Minutes sound interesting to you? Does Abrams’ track record give you confidence that the result will deliver the goods?

I must purchase something!

I can’t wait to see the interviews.  After Lost she said she was breaking from acting to write children’s books.  However, I’m more interested to see if they can coax her into talking about Lost.

Evangeline is filming a movie with Hugh Jackman (good choice!) titled Real Steel.  It’s a futuristic boxing drama with robots and humans.  Sounds relatively interesting and I can’t wait to see the chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Evangeline considering her steamy scenes with Josh Holloway.

Read about the movie here.

I know why they say shows could be the “next Lost” (it was a rhetorical heading and question) but I want them to be their own shows.  They could pique my interest more if they said that Lost fans would be interested in the show, but nothing will ever be Lost just like there will never be another X-Files.  The

Fox show “Terra Nova” sounds intriguing, but they really need to stop with the comparisons and let the show stand on it’s own.

Fox’s Terra Nova

Jason O’Mara, star of ABC’s 1970s-set Life on Mars, has officially been cast in the Fox midseason series Terra Nova, from executive producers Brannon Braga (FlashForward, 24, Star Trek: Enterprise), David Fury (24, Lost, Angel), and Steven Spielberg. According to Variety, the show revolves around “humans from the year 2149 who are forced to find a way to save the human race — and discover a rip in the time-space continuum that can send them back to pre-human Earth.”

“Writing the character of Jim Shannon, we’ve thought of Jason O’Mara as something of an archetype,” Braga told the trade. “He has an everyman quality to him, but there’s something dangerous underneath.”

In May, EW’s Hollywood Insider blog got a peek at the first script. (Fox has given the show, which will start shooting this summer in Australia, a 13-episode commitment.) “The scene: a large group of settlers are preparing to leave the apocalyptic world they live in to time travel back millions of years via a massive, high-tech contraption,” EW’s Lynette Rice wrote. “Their goal is to see trees, enjoy a blue sky, eat real food — basically, to start over in this so-called Eden. But what they find is unlike anything they were expecting.”

Does this sound like the next Lost to you?
