Oh I got all excited for a minute, until I realized this is the thing I got from iTunes the other day. . .Great song, and wonderful clips! I'm almost more excited for LOST to start than I am about gas being $1.79.

I am convinced that the first quarter of 2009 will be the best television we will ever have. Lost, BSG, Damages, Big Love, FotC and FNL. And Breaking Bad comes back in March. Not to mention shows that are already on in the fall...plus Reaper. My DVR is going to be getting a workout.

Does anyone know where I can find a frozen donkey wheel to turn to transport me to January??

The song wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I'm such a Lost purist that I really don't like the attempts of cross-promoting with all sorts of different pop culture. The whole idea is slightly more interesting than a straight up trailer, though. And the footage was so good - for some reason I wasn't grabbed by the last trailer, but this one got me pumped up.

Err, Ajira isn't a real airline, the site is owned by ABC, and they conveniently start operating on the day Lost returns.
I don't generally care about their ARGs until I find out who is writing them - if it is ABC (vs. Bad Robot) then there is little point in caring.
Although one could point out the Indian influence and if that heralds a new multi-ethnic playing field in the current real world era (yes, there are entities like Paik Industries, but they exist as mere suppliers to the extremely European players like Widmore, the DeGroots, etc.)

24, Damages, Nip/Tuck, various reality shows, etc...
(And special cases like FNL for those without satellite.)
Seriously James, I'm surprised you haven't started working on a print article yet. "The 2008 TV season finally starts.. in 2009."
No word on when Reaper returns (although, in general, I don't believe CBS or CW have announced their winter schedules yet).

There's a weird, little hidden message within the trailer. At the 1:35 and 2:25 marks, they flash a logo for a company called Ajira Airways, which has a website at AjiraAirways.com. What it means...no clue. But it probably has something to do with money, money, money! "We have to go back!...on Ajira Airways, official airline of Lost!"

Oh yeah and what are we at, like the 60ish day mark on the count down? The Swampies may count 'till Obama, but us Tuned Inners obviously have a more important count down.

Does ABC own the Fray? Didn't a season or two ago there was that commerical for Grey's with the Fray's "How to save a life"

@tyantking: (1) I have watched the current iteration of Dr. Who, but honestly, I have never been a Dr. Who person, so no, I do not watch-watch it, as in follow it regularly. Maybe someday I'll go into the reasons, but I'm just not up for tangling with the Dr. Who partisans at the moment. (2) Reaper is midseason but I don't believe I've seen a date.
