Lost Season 5 scores a three-hour premiere

Entertainment Weekly reports that the fifth season of ABC's sensational drama Lost has secured a premiere date and, of course, it is not your average, one-hour opener. The Emmy-nominated series will storm back into your living room on Jan. 21 with a three-hour premiere event from 8-11 p.m. EST.

The first hour will be an ever-popular recap special (they should just consider updating the amazing "Lost in 8:15"), followed by the first two episodes of the season. The announcement marks a move back to Wednesday nights for the series, which had a temporary run on Thursdays last season. The show will air in the 9-10 p.m. EST time slot, facing off against Fox's new series Lie To Me.
