ABC

With Lost winding down, it seems like ABC is really pushing shows like V and Flashforward as the heirs to Lost. But I'm not sure it's working. I think part of their thinking is that there are cast members that overlap between Lost and the other two shows. Also, the serial nature of the shows and the sci-fi themes are also similarities. But that's probably where the similarities end. As a show, Lost is pretty unique and I'm not sure that either of the other two can really capture that uniqueness. I have been watching V, but it is not nearly as interesting as Lost was in the early episodes. In fact, right now the main reason I have been watching it is that I didn't realize Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet from Lost) was a major character in V. I'm really surprised how her hairstyle and makeup changes fooled me.
