The other "Lost"

When VHS came out I chose Beta. And when "Amazing Race" premiered, I chose the Conan O'Brien produced "Lost." Whaa..? You say? Yes, there was a "Lost" TV show before "Lost" the, uh, TV show. This one was a LOT like "Amazing Race" but to me, looked much smarter and with a lot less bickering (which I have come to love about TAR. Anyhow, the show got bumped around the schedule, and the final episodes almost didn't air.

I liked it, but that's just me. I liked "Invasion" and "Daybreak" and look what happened to those shows!

Lost (2001 TV series)

The premise was similar to The Amazing Race, except the three two-member teams knew only the final destination (thousands of miles away) and were given only a backpack full of clothes and other essentials. Contestants were blindfolded and dropped off in the desert of an unknown country to find their way back to the US. The home-viewing audience knew the starting point, but the teams did not. The US finish line was the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Each game took three episodes.

The show was produced by Conaco, a production company owned by Conan O'Brien. Sports broadcaster Al Trautwig narrated the show.

[this is good]

I loved this show as well! I loved how much more difficult it was then the Amazing Race. It seemed like people really had to use every single ounce of creativity you know what I mean? I was amazed how they got so many free flights or ships you know? It was crazy.
