Lost is an American drama television series that follows the past and present lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious, seemingly deserted island, somewhere in the South Pacific. The show was created by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, and is filmed primarily on location in Hawaii. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004. Since then, two seasons have aired and a third begins on October 4, 2006. Due to its large ensemble cast and cost of filming in Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television. A critical and ratings success, the show garnered an average of 15.5 million viewers per episode on ABC, and has won numerous industry awards, including the Emmy Award for outstanding drama series. Reflecting its devoted fan base, the series has become a staple of popular culture with references to the story and its mythology appearing in other television shows, commercials, comic books, humor magazines and even song lyrics. Its fictional universe has also been explored in tie-in novels, board and video games, and has spawned an alternate reality game, The Lost Experience. (more...)
