In response to fan complaints about scheduling in the previous seasons, ABC decided to air the episodes without reruns, albeit in two separate blocks. In the United States, the first block consisted of six episodes aired on Wednesdays at 9:00 pm and after a twelve week break, the season continued with the remaining sixteen episodes at 10:00. In addition, three clip-shows recapped previous events on the show. “Lost: A Tale of Survival” aired a week before the premiere, “Lost Survivor Guide” aired before the second block and “Lost: The Answers” aired before the finale. Buena Vista Home Entertainment released the season under the title Lost: The Complete Third Season – The Unexplored Experience on December 11, 2007 in Region 1. It is available as a seven-disc boxed DVD set and as a six-disc Blu-ray Disc set.
