The ABC hit may be coming to a close. "Lost" creator Dam run as long as the "X-Files", and could wrap up in the next few seasons. Right now "Lost" is in the middle of season 3. The reason for a quick end? Continuing the series any longer risks viewer interest in following the show's many complex stories.

Other "Lost" news from the panel:

This marked the first time that there was a "Lost" panel with virtually the entire cast, plus creators/producers J.J. Abrams, Carlton Cruse and Lindelof.

This marked the first time that there was a "Lost" panel with virtually the entire cast, plus creators/producers J.J. Abrams, Carlton Cruse and Lindelof. (Missing were actors Terry O'Quinn and Naveen Andrews -- sign of a cast change? There was no acknowledgement of the two actors not being there.) There were several references to former cast members killed off, including Ian Somerhalder and Michelle Rodriguez. Moderator Jimmy Kimmel jokingly suggested that when an actor gets a DUI (which has coincidentally occurred with multiple cast members), they're written off. Producers downplayed any connection.

As a fan of the series, I still think its the best show on television and would love to see it stay on the air for at least 5 - 6 seasons.

I think this is GREAT. I absolutely love this show and think it is brilliant. From the beginning, the creators said that they knew exactly where the story was going and that it would take about five years to tell it. I think it is wonderful that ABC is letting the writers tell their story rather than demanding that the show run and run until it starts losing money or until it is totally dried up. From a true Lost fan (who even loves season 3 so far), I am thrilled!

i still think that this show has a lot of potential, me and my sister Likes this show , and i think that it should stay on the air for as long as x files or star trek , about 6 or 7 seasons, 8 at the most, depending on if there is a finale plot that leads in to a "lost" spinoff

The article tries to make it sound like Lost is leaving at the end of the year, but I think this just means that the show will end after (probably) five years like Damon and JJ always said they wanted.

Just FYI--You can't expect people to take your blog seriously if you can't even get people's names right. The Crossing Jordan EP and creator of Heroes mentioned above--his name is Tim Kring (not Tom Krig) and p.s. he wasn't just an EP on Crossing Jordan. He created the show.

Check your facts. It's not hard--especially with IMDB at your disposal.

"Lost" is my personal favorite show on TV. Icannot wait to see the episodes of the third season.
From a bolivian fan kudos to all the people involved in the creation and playing of the show.
To the network.... Please let the writers told their story and over all give them the time they need to wrap all the stories at their proper pace.
