NEW YORK (Nov 12, 2008)

ABC will devote all of prime time Jan. 21 to the return of Lost, showing two one-hour episodes preceded by a synopsis to update viewers on the story.

The drama was last seen on its finale May 29, an action-packed episode with an exploded freighter, a stabbing and a boat rescue.

The show will air regularly 9 p.m. on Wednesdays. ABC said it will make an announcement shortly on where Private Practice will be scheduled.

The Lost clip show, a format its producers have used to keep viewers up-to-date on the complicated story, will air at 8 p.m. on Jan. 21. The first hour begins at 9 p.m.
