'LOST': Three More Seasons of Confusion, Geekdome

The creators of LOST have long talked about their decision to have a known end date for the the show--a decision based on the nature of the show's ongoing mythology--which has been leading up to a pre-constructed ending since the first episode.

Now ABC and LOST producers have come to an official agreement on said end date. Always rumored to be 5 seasons, ABC has just announced that LOST, instead, will come to an end after 6 seasons--though the remaining 3 seasons will be significantly shortened to 16 episodes a piece (what amounts to two normal length seasons).

"Due to the unique nature of ‘Lost,’ we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout and to give the audience the payoff they deserve," ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson said.

McPherson also added that the newly announced construction "will give fans an additional 3 seasons to wonder why the fat guy never loses any weight."
