Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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.

The evil is this way?

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

[insert something funny here]

ABC is being sued over Lost.

Interesting...

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