Hi! I'm Lisa. I work in TV and film as writer, producer & editor. This is my blog about the work I do and the news, trends and technologies that touch it. With the occasional totally unrelated bits thrown in.

“More people watched the series finales of MR. BELVEDERE and ALF than the number of people who watched the series finale of LOST.”
All that proves is that there are more idiots than intellectuals. You realize this comparison is wildly unbalanced, right? It completely disregards differences in cable distribution & penetration between 1990 and today, the quantity of national cable programming channels, not to mention the fact that disruptive technologies like DVRs and internet video didn’t exist in 1990.
And not to get all defensive about LOST, but in the age of disruptive TV technology, which I’m defining as the 10 years since Tivo was invented, only 8 series finales had ratings better than LOST. (BEVERLY HILLS 90210, FRIENDS, FRASIER, NYPD BLUE, JAG, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, WILL & GRACE and ER, in case you’re wondering.)
