Good news, Lost fans.  ABC has finally announced the show’s 2008 premiere date:  Thursday, Jan. 31st.

That’s right. Thursday.  The series will finally be moving to a plum day of the week.  Granted, a few other programs will be going into repeats by that time —- but I have a feeling the producers won’t be complaining about a hand-me-down time slot.

Lost will air in Grey’s Anatomy’s former 9pm shift.  It’s January debut will then be followed by ABC’s mid-season replacement, Eli Stone, @ 10pm.
