I never watched Lost when it was a current television series, but we have the complete series on DVD now and just started watching it last week. We've watched five or six episodes now, including the two-part pilot.

I liked the show right away and it just dawned on me last night why that probably is. It reminds me a great deal of another show that I really enjoyed, but unfortunately was canceled after the first season: Earth 2. Earth 2 precedes Lost by 10 years; it was canceled in 1995. After making this connection, I did a Web search to see if anyone else had noticed the similarities between the two shows. Sure enough, I wasn't the only one. In fact, there are so many similarities to Earth 2 that many fans of boths shows consider Lost to be a remake of Earth 2. I can definitely see it. One guy listed almost 40 similarities: themacjedi.com/2006/04/23/lost-a-remake-of-earth-2/

I'm not much of a television watcher. In fact, we haven't had any kind of television/cable service for several years. We buy complete series of favorites shows on DVD and watch them over and over. And the few current shows we watch, we catch online at Hulu.

I guess Lost was pretty popular while it was on but I've only just now discovered it.

Not seen a single episode but of the glimpses I have seen it looks interesting. Never heard of Earth 2.

But the question I have for you is what you said about "hulu." How does one go about watching previous episodes by that medium. Don't even know what you mean...

Ted, just go to www.hulu.com. Type in the Search box the name of a TV show or movie that you want to watch. They may or may not have it. If the show is a current favorite, they will probably have only the latest five episodes available. And they usually don't make the newest episode available until the day after it airs on TV. Some videos are just clips of episodes or movies, so pay attention to what you're clicking on. Don't know if this service is available in Canada. Another similar website is Fancast at, you guessed it, www.fancast.com. These are legal websites with licenses to show the content they have, not pirated videos like you might find on YouTube.

Thanks, Bev. I'll look into it.

Well, I looked into it and this is the message I got:

Sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed from within the United States

Videos from If I Can Dream are available internationally. To see them click here.
Hulu is committed to making its content available worldwide. To do so, we must work through a number of legal and business issues, including obtaining international streaming rights. Know that we are working to make this happen and will continue to do so. Given the international background of the Hulu team, we have both a professional and personal interest in bringing Hulu to a global audience.

If you'd like, please leave us your email address and the region in which you live, and we will email you when our videos are available in your area.

Fancast was not operational either...wahhhhhhhhh
