‘Lost’: A DVR warning on the season finale

Attention time shifters! (What an appropriate term for those of us who DVR the time-looping adventures of the ‘Lost’ survivors.)

According to Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC’s website, the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee will be airing 8-10 p.m. Thursday, leaving just one hour for the season finale of ‘Lost.’

We all know ‘Lost’ is supposed to end with a jaw-dropping two-hour finale, so what gives?

According to a spokesperson from KABC, the season finale will be airing on KABC as originally planned, 9-11 p.m., with a one-hour retrospective airing at 8 p.m. The spelling bee will be on Friday night.

But we’re not out of the woods yet. The TV listings on KABC’s website, provided by Titan TV Media, still list the spelling bee on Thursday night, and if you have your DVR season pass set for ‘Lost,’ the erroneous listing info may cause you to get just one hour of the finale. (One reader has already written me to report that her DVR is set for only one hour currently.)

The people at KABC say they are looking into the problem, and things may turn out for the best. But just in case, you might want to double-check your DVR schedule and manually set it to record on Thursday night.

Or just watch it live. Something tells me you won’t want to wait to see Locke ‘move the island.’
