Viewing figures are down in the US because ABC dragged a 24 episode series out over 32 weeks as they wanted to air it early (unlike 24 series 5 for example). they filled the gaps between 'sweeps' with repeats - one time for 3 weeks straight! which turned people away.
Plus, the second half of Lost went head to head with American Idol - which is the biggest show in the US.
This time (Season 3), they are showing 6 episodes from October, then a break, then 17 straight after Christmas for the 2007 'sweeps', ala Prison Break, to try and maintain the ratings.
If anyone thinks its boring or drawn out, you should have tried watching Invasion!!
Now that was awful.
