David Fury

The premiere of ABC’s LOST was not deserted when 18.7 million viewers tuned in to watch the 48-remaining passengers survive their first night on a mysterious island in the south pacific. Coming from the imagination of J.J. Abrams (Alias) and Damon Lindelof (Crossing Jordan) the drama scored a 6.8 rating with adults 18-49 becoming the largest premiere draw since Murder One back in 1995. "We were blown away by the numbers," co-producer David Fury told CoA, "even after ABC’s excellent promotions."

Fury also had a little something, something to add for his fans, "As for my Angel fans (do I still have Angel fans?), all I can say is... Where’ve you guys been?! You don’t call, you don’t write..." he joked. "What, you can’t pick up a phone and call your Uncle Fury once in a while, just so’s I know you’re all alive and well?!" But on a more serious note he said, "Hope some of you got the chance to see Part 1 of LOST (the pilot). And I hope some of those that did, liked it."

Fury will be penning a few episodes this season as well. "My first episode airs October 13. A little thing I call "Walkabout," featuring the brilliant Terry O’Quinn. I’ve just finished my second ep. - "Solitary" which will air Nov. 17th featuring the charismatic Naveen Andrews. Once you’ve seen these episodes, I’m sure you’ll agree... Steve DeKnight was carrying me all those years," he laughed.
