Looks like Glee will be getting the DVR treatment! There is no way I am missing a single live episode of this Final Season of LOST!

It's going to be LOST. No question.

P.S. Thank you for pushing for networks to include DVR ratings – MELROSE PLACE makes very significant ratings gains when DVR viewership is included (I think more than most shows on TV).

I was already assuming that the only reason ABC scheduled Lost for Tuesday instead of its usual Wednesday was so that it wouldn't have to compete with Glee. Now I'm going to have to choose? That's ridiculous! While I guess Idol is a natural lead-in for Glee, I'd much rather they left it alone in it's slot where so many Gleeks have found and loved it. This is going to make viewings VERY difficult. Couldn't they just leave it on Wednesday and let the results show be the lead-in?

True. Advertisers in particular will shy away from DVR #'s since people FF thru the ads, and it is the advertising that pays for the show. I was thinking with my 'viewers hat' not my 'ratings hat'. :)

TVThink, that's the problem. While I see your point, the fact is that DVR ratings don't mean diddly squat to advertisers, networks, and sometimes, suprisingly, viewers. If 'Glee' or any show for that matter does a sudden drop in ratings, people take notice. Not to continue to beat a dead horse, but Dollhouse had a 50% bump in ratings after its DVR viewings were included, but that wasn't enough to save it from cancellation. Here is my article I wrote on DVR viewings and why they should matter instead of glanced over: http://www.tvovermind.com/dollhouse/dollhouse-continues-to-excel-in-dvr-ratings/12074#axzz0Y05N2e9A” rel=”nofollow”>;http://www.tvovermind.com/dollhouse/dollhouse-continues-to-excel-in-dvr-ratings/12074#axzz0Y05N2e9A

I think that Glee is the type of show which naturally acquires more viewers. For the most part, those that watch Lost won't watch Glee. However, for anyone who has been watching Lost since the beginning and just started to enjoy Glee, it's definitely going to be hurt by live viewing numbers.

PVR's have changed the landscape of TV. No longer does putting two shows head-to-head mean one will fail. LOST will get live viewers and GLEE fans who also watch LOST will PVR Glee. Read more: Timeslot Wars: LOST vs. Glee??! The AUDACITY!!!! « TVOvermind
