There was a guy on Boy Meets Boy that was also on Lost (Dan). But other than that I can't remember much more to tell you about the show other than the way it played out.

There were teams of two dropped in the middle of no where and were given nothing to find themselves back to the U.S. I think each series of teams last only 3-4 episodes and I didn't think it lasted more than a couple of "mini-seasons".

For me, it was too edited and hard to watch. I thought the idea of the show was good but the execution was lacking.

Hope that helps.

I'm sorry I missed this thread; with no reality shows worth watching, I don't stop here very often.

Anyway, "Lost" is one of my favorite reality shows, and this is my quick summary of it from another post in the archives:

It debuted in early September, 2001, was preempted due to You Know What, then came back with the last two episodes of Drop 1. Two of the three episodes of Drop 2 were burned off near Christmas and New Year's, 2001 - a fine time to program something that nobody would watch. The middle eppie of Drop 2 never aired on NBC, but it might have aired on the Travel Channel. Each drop consisted of six players who didn't know each other beforehand, split into three teams of two. They were each dropped a long way from the U.S. with very limited supplies (including a piddling sum of cash) and a cameraman. They were commanded to get back to Liberty Island.

End explanation, begin reminiscing. I think of "The Amazing Race" as a tricked-up version of "Lost", though they were developed independently and have nothing to do with each other ("Lost" was based on a UK series of the same name). I liked the purity of it and actually preferred it to TAR, despite its faults. But I must admit the second drop was starting to lose its magic, and I probably would have gotten weary of it had there been too many more. So it's probably best that it was canceled when it was.

Lots of people didn't like it for various reasons, so it's not for all tastes. It didn't last too long, so it shouldn't be TOO painful to watch, should it come up again.

Thanks, Vols & RB. Sounds interesting & I'll take a peek at it. The premise really sounds exciting, it's a shame that they didn't execute it that well (from the sounds of things).

Vols, was Dan the blonde straight actor guy from Boy meets Boy? You know, other than the cruel twist, I actually thought that show was good & it's a shame they never revived it.
