'Lost' in the cushions of my couch

What channel is 'Lost' even on? For the past four seasons I have relied on the internet to find and watch TV shows. Usually I use hulu but for this one I had to resort to Channel 131. Shhhh...Don't tell the network. There are drawbacks with this method, the main one being quality. That however is acceptable, because there are no commercials and very reliable loading. Many, many times I have tried to watch one the network's website only to be thwarted by locked-up players and endlessly repeating commercials.
The most recent episode I watched was from last week, all about Hugo. This was a superbly put together episode. There is one scene when Hurley is in a mental institution and makes a comment about the rec room. Who else but Hugo would notice the state of a rec room. An excellent example of character building through dialogue.
Also seen from the comfort of my own couch is the latest Rolling Stone magazine. the highlight of this issue and the best thing I've seen in mag in months is the Top 40 Reasons to be excited about music. As a mediaphile I am already very excited about music. i just bought the Preservation Hall Jazz Bands album, The Gorillaz new album Plastic Beach and am looking into tickets for this years mud, I mean mean music, festival:Bonnaroo. Anyway, check out the top 40 reasons to be excited about music in Rolling Stone, especially the feature on The Black-Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am will blow your mind.
