Full disclosure: I haven't even watched last night's Lost yet. I was out last night. And even I know that ABC has once again demonstrated the need for the most neglected position in network television: the 'No Way, You Guys' Consultant.

The NWYGC would be in charge of saying, "No way, you guys. It's a really bad idea to seize the crazypants clue-hunting loonies [this would be said with love, as it should be] who watch Lost and subject them to a giant countdown clock at the bottom of the screen, teasing the upcoming return of V, for the entire hour that they are trying to find tiny, tiny clues all over Lost. This would be a particularly bad idea if the countdown clock obscured part of a note shown by one character to another." (Obviously, you can see it in the clip above, but you'll see a few seconds of a scene from last night's episode.)

As Alan Sepinwall discusses in his rant about the countdown clock that I linked to above, executives often don't watch television the way normal people do. They don't have the couch experience. Maybe they've forgotten it. Maybe the NWYGC could bring it back for them.

"No way, you guys — it's a bad idea to pull shows that are new and well-received off the air for six months at a time."

"No way, you guys — people don't like it when a show goes until 9:02 that's supposed to go until 9:01. And while you're at it, people don't like it when a show goes until 9:01. They're not dumb. They kind of know what you're doing."

"No way, you guys — when the previews totally give away everything that's going to happen (or when a product tie-in stunt like the Survivor Sprint Player Of The Week does the same), it's really a downer."

I'm just saying, this might be a position to consider filling. Quickly.
