ABC is being sued over Lost. A guy is claiming that in the 70s for Sid and Marty Kroft he came up with the idea for a show about survivors of a plane crash who encounter mysteries and strange creatures for ABC and it was called Lost.
He wants written and created by credits as well as royalties, etc.
I'm not sure why he's waiting until now to sue, I would think he would have done that as soon as ABC started advertising for Lost.
Wasn't that "HR Puffinstuff" (or however that is spelled)?
Well, I can see the similarities between it and "Lost." Or I could if I was really, really drunk.
Sounds more like "Land of the Lost".
I guess that's how JJ Abrams will win the suit -- he can point out that it's not a rip off because there are no Sleestaks on his show.
They better not be finding anything resembling Chaka and his family, either.

So I guess those rumors about Bill Lambeer doing a guest spot are unfounded.

Interesting...
Very odd that he's waited until now to sue though. Odd.
