Great to see Michael on the cover of USA Weekend as I went through my Sunday newspaper.  He and 24‘s Mary Lynn Rajskub talk a little about their shows as the magazine also shows new products coming out in 2009.  USA Weekend is aviable in most US Sunday newspapers.

The new year also marks the return of two of TV’s most anticipated shows: Fox’s 24 (starting this Sunday) and ABC’s Lost (starting Jan. 21st). USA WEEKEND brought together two of the stars to see what they were excited about for 2009.

“I want to see if there truly is a change of direction and spirit that is consistent with what people are feeling now,” says Michael Emerson, who plays Benjamin Linus on Lost.  “I’m also curious to see where Lost is going because God knows how it will all look in the end.”

LOST

”When will they feel safe?” That’s all exec producer Carlton Cuse will say about Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) being threatened by soldiers during Lost‘s two-hour premiere on Jan. 21. Time-travel theorists, note his emphasis. And Sawyer swooners, be advised that the hunky rogue remains shirtless for one full hour. Says exec producer Damon Lindelof, ”Even I am powerless.” We hear Juliet may soon feel similarly…

“Lost” (8 p.m. recap, 9 p.m. season debut Jan. 21, WXYZ-TV, Channel 7, ABC). How would executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof describe the opening scenes of the season premiere of “Lost”?

Compelling, says Cuse.

Groovy, says Lindelof.

Sounds intriguing, but then again, that’s what makes “Lost” special. “What we don’t want to do in season five is basically stand around sort of shifting from one foot to another waiting for the last season of the show,” says Cuse of the acclaimed ABC series that’s set to wrap in 2010. “Like it or not, we decided to take some chances this year and be bold in our storytelling and we’re willing to accept the consequences of that.”

In the new season of “Lost” premiering Jan. 21, expect a lawyer to show up at the home of Kate Austen and demand a sample of blood. Someone—he can’t say who—wants to know if Kate is actually related to her son Aaron.

If you want to know more, you’ll have to tune in, but those details were shared during Disney Media Networks Co-Chair and Disney-ABC Television Group President Anne Sweeney’s speech at the Consumers Electronics Show in Las Vegas today. She showed a three-minute sneak peek of the new season of the popular show.

She also highlighted ABC’s plans to develop a widget powered by Intel for the final season of “Lost” next year to bring the show to additional devices.

As the first network to strike a deal with iTunes more than three years ago, Ms. Sweeney said ABC will continue to seek out alternative distribution venues for its shows, but will do so with a focus on the user interface.

“We need to build great user interfaces,” she said. “One of the reasons so many of us have iPhones and iPods is Apple gets this fundamental fact—the user interface is intuitive, it’s user-friendly and it’s easy to personalize your experience with it.”

She added, “Our challenge is figuring out the best ways to use these new platforms to stay relevant to the increasingly demanding and mobile lives of our viewers. Especially in this economy, consumers are turning to brands, services and devices that make their lives easier and allow them to do things they couldn’t do before.”
