It's a new tv season, and the networks make shows they hope will survive at least until mid-season. One of those shows looks very interesting. It's called The Lost, and is a story about a group of survivors from an airliner crash on a deserted island. Looks promising, and I hope it Lasts for awhile. But it's not a very original idea. About 25-30 years ago, the networks would make tv movies that turned out to be pilots for shows that never materialized. One of those movies happened to be about, guess what, a group of survivors of an airplane crash struggling to survive on a desert island. Probably the only reason I even rememeber that movie was that it starred Lloyd Bridges as the plane's captain. Also, there's mention of a "beast" in the new show. In the movie, there was a boar that terrorized some of the survivors. I just wonder if someone remembered this old flick and wanted to update it to today's standards, or just thought of it on their own. From what little I've read of the series, there was no mention about the comparison of the two.
