TV Show Feature: Lost
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 | Labels: Lost tv show | 0 comments |Lost is an American tv series following the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney and Los Angeles crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Currently airing on ABC, its pilot episode was first broadcast in September 2004, and since then five full seasons have aired, with a sixth currently in progress set to finish in May 2010.
Due to its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television. Created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams, and Jeffrey Lieber, each episode of the show typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character's life, though other time-related plot devices change this formula in later episodes.
Critically acclaimed and a popular success, Lost garnered an average of 16 million viewers per episode on ABC during its first year. It has won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2005, Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series.
