I Get Lost in Lost....

I love the ABC series Lost. It is fresh and different from all of the crime dramas on right now. Mind you I love the crime dramas too. Lost is an absorbing and on the edge of your seat thrill an episode, and you can't wait till next weeks episode. A rerun in the middle of the season is torture. Now I read that ABC is being sued for stealing the idea. Story here

Lawsuit Finds "Lost"
By Joal Ryan EOnline

According to the Reporter, Spinner says he was hired by
the producers of Land of the Lost to develop an idea for an ABC series to be
called Lost, about stranded plane crash survivors who encounter "strange
creatures" and "dangerous characters."

I wonder if Lost was not successful if this person would have anything to say about it?
