To say that Lost has fallen out of favor with the media would be generous. It seems like every new episode brings with it another article discussing the show's decline in popularity. This week, MSNBC published an AP article which implied that Lost was in the same boat as failing shows like Studio 60. Are these comparisons fair?

As far as I know, there has not been a single rumor concerning the possible cancellation of Lost. So why is there so much doomsday language surrounding the show? The article added that the producers of Lost would have to make some drastic changes in order to save the show, citing Heather Locklear's presence in Melrose Place as an example.
