You can read here how the producers of Lost and ABC have come to terms with when the show will end. Basically, it'll run for three more season, each with only 16 episodes that will run consecutively ala 24.
Personally, I'm glad to see they've set the end date as it gives them a much better framework to deal with the entire story. I also like having the seasons run uninterrupted. But only 16 episodes each season? I think the show is strong enough to be able to do three more full seasons. Plus, I shudder to think what ABC will run in its timeslot when it's not on.

16 episodes a season? I'd rather have a stilted schedule with 22-24 episodes than just 16. I guess, though, if you kill Kate, Sayid, Charlie, and whoever else there will be less to say, which could resolve less episodes.
I want more Lost!
Oh, Jacob better not be that freaking wooden doll!

Part of the good news for Lost's numbers is the fact that DVRs are now being factored into the numbers and I know Lost was one of the key beneficiaries of that addition (along with The Office).
