‘Lost’ coming to an end sometime soon

ABC is discussing with Lost producers how and when to end the TV series, said Stephen McPherson, the president of ABC Entertainment. The show is in its third season, and one of its executive producers says he expects it to end after the fifth season. “We’re no longer going up the hill,” said Damon Lindelof. “We’re starting to come down now.” Meanwhile, McPherson said the network is going to tackle fewer new serials now after the poor performance of Daybreak, The Nine and Six Degrees this last fall season.
