    Conception

    Under the lead of group chairman Lloyd Braun, ABC had seen a steady decline to the number four spot in ratings, behind NBC, CBS, and Fox. The network was desperate for new hits. In the summer of 2003, about 50 ABC executives met at a retreat in Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, California. During a banquet, people suggested various concepts for new TV shows. Lloyd Braun himself pitched the idea of what he described as "Cast Away - The Series", after the movie starring Tom Hanks. (The...

    Casting

    J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof first imagined Jack as a leader, who be killed by the Monster in the first part of the pilot. Michael Keaton was originally slated to play Jack in a guest capacity. However, Keaton was never actually sent a script. The idea to have Jack die in the first episode remained until a week before shooting began. Stephen McPherson, who was at that time the head of Touchstone, was adamant that Jack had to survive, because he felt the audience would feel "cheated" if Jack...

    Creatorship disputes

    After Jeffrey Lieber, who had come up with a script for a pilot before the concept of the show would be overhauled by J.J. Abrams, had been fired by Lloyd Braun, he felt that he deserved a credit for his work. Lieber complained to the Writers Guild of America, whereupon ABC and Touchstone argued that Lieber's initial concept had nothing to do with the show that was now being developed. Lieber managed to get his hands on a shooting script for the pilot and drew parallels between characters in...

    Crew

    There have been numerous changes to the creative writing staff behind the storyline of Lost from the beginning to the end. The most notable one is the quick departure of co-creator J.J. Abrams from the show. Abrams was never fully invested in Lost due to his duties on his own show Alias and his planned pilot The Catch (which ultimately never got picked up). Damon Lindelof had originally been brought on board to help Abrams develop the outline for the show. Together, Abrams and Lindelof wrote...

    For the first three seasons, the future of the show was uncertain. There were rumors about further seasons, and even feature films. However, on May 7, 2007, ABC revealed that Lost was to continue for a further three seasons, with each of them being condensed into 16 episodes. They were to be aired back-to-back with no gaps, starting in February and...

    Lost became a widespread hit around the world. This success created a community of dedicated fans who analyzed every single aspect of the show, including planted Easter eggs. The producers, aware of their fanbase, included these Easter eggs to enhance the enjoyment of the show.

    ABC, beginning in Season 5, found a new way to recap episodes of Lost called Lost Untangled. This was a comical way of summarizing the previous episode using the Lost character Action Figures from Season 1. These short clips aired after Lost during ABC's "Life On Mars", and were also shown on ABC's Lostweb page.
