That's bull crap. The TV landscape was no different in 2004 when lost came on the air then it is now. Lost was success because despite being slow moving it's initial episodes got you hooked. If shows like The Cape and The Event had good story telling, good acting, they would last, but... they don't. I watched the pilot of The Event and it was total garbage. Caught about 30 minutes of The Cape and it was embaressingly bad.
I'm not disagresing with your overal point, that Networks and viewers in general have short attention spans... but to suggest a show like Lost can't exist now is not true.
