The two-hour “Lost” debut (11.4 million, 5.0/12) was down 25% from last year in the adult demo. The heavily serialized and increasingly complex drama was expected to drop, though this is a steeper percentage than one would have liked. Also, last year the series debuted in a superior Thursdays-at-9 p.m. spot while taking advantage of reduced competition because of the writers strike. The show drained a couple tenths throughout its two hours. Its lead-in, a “Lost” recap show (8.5 million, 3.3/8), did quite well, actually placing second at 8 p.m. after “Idol.”
