When the network (ABC) spoke to J.J.Abrams about doing this series (LOST) the idea was to do a Gilligan's Island type light-hearted series.
Abrams told them he didn't care about doing that but had a different sort of idea......
So...we almost had Gilligan!
I'd compare LOST to THE STAND.
The concept of Lost and that of Gilligan's Island is identical, isn't it? A group of people stranded on an island. I had been under the impression that the only difference was that strange things happened on Lost, while Gilligan's Island was more straightforward.
In any case, I used to refer to Star Trek Voyager as Gilligan's Island in Space. Again, same concept. A group of people stranded - in Voyager's case, on a spacecraft in a quadrant of space. Worst Star Trek series by far.
OMG! The "Others" are the people from the Minnow!
