Once in love with 'Lost,' always in love with 'Lost'

You can probably tell from my column that I like to talk. I pretty much always have something to say. I'm not kidding. You could call me right now and we would never have a break in our conversation. And that's even if you don't say anything at all. But the first two episodes of the fourth season of Lost left me speechless. They were so good and gave me so much to think about that after I watched them I sat quietly on my couch taking it all in.

Well I guess it would be nice if every new show were as good as Eli Stone. But, you know, not everybody can be like Greg Berlanti.

It's time once again to open the TV Gal email bag . . .

I might as well confess that I'm not a huge football fan. Yeah I didn't think you'd be that shocked by that one. Although I did win the knock-out pool I was in, proving that the less you know about something, the better you'll do.

I believe that TV viewers are discerning. And that they won't watch whatever is on. But lately TV has been proving me wrong.

There are TV moments that bring me back to a time and a place.

Remember a couple of years ago when I fell in love with ABC Family and all their made-for-TV movies? Well I've developed a total crush on another network. I'm kind of smitten with AMC.

Is American Idol, which returns for a seventh season Tuesday at 8 p.m. on FOX, the savviest show on television?

When it comes to science fiction, I prefer a real world where fantastical things take place. I'm more Buffy and Harry Potter kind of gal than say Lord of the Rings.

TV Gal here -- your one of many sources into the lives of TV characters and their shenanigans. Wondering how you're feeling about the last new episode of Gossip Girl, which airs tonight on the CW at 9 p.m.
