Lost and Enhanced TV

9:55 am Just some thoughts, Radio and TV Broadcasting

I enjoy watching Lost, mainly because so few shows today leave everything so mysterious and suspenseful. Watching Wednesday night’s rebroadcast of the previous season’s final episode treated viewers to something that I predict will become commonplace in the coming years: “enhanced” television, with a crawl along the bottom of the screen providing a running commentary of facts, recaps, internet speculation and teasers for the coming season.

Why haven’t TV networks done this before? With the current writer’s strike in Hollywood I can understand that the writing talent needed to produce that content isn’t available, but once that ends, I would definitely be more inclined to watch an enhanced program.

Which television programs would you like to see enhanced in the same way that Lost was this week?
