ABC has opted not to send Lost’s season-ender on a suicide mission against the American Idol finale on May 20.
Lost will close its next-to-last season a week earlier with a two-hour episode on May 13. The first hour probably will still have to buck an Idol results show but at least it won’t be going up against the May 20 crowning of the new Idol, one of the highest rated entertainment programs of the season.
