TV Guide is reporting that ABC’s mega hit “LOST” slipped ever so slightly in the Nielsen’s this past week to about 15.7 million viewers, making it the lowest ratings the show has experienced for a new episode.
I’m not too sure fans of the show need to be too concerned. There are shows on the air right now that would kill for numbers like that.

Could be due to online viewing too. It looks like Lost is heavily downloaded at iTunes. Also, the wife and I were catching up (somehow) and will watch it on T.V. now that we are.
More than likely it is because it is going up against Fox’s megahit ‘American Idol’.
