I'm not clever or knowledgeble enough about TV, so I'll just drop in this wonderful quote from
TeeVee - Upfronts '05: What We Learned:
Quote:
<b>Attention aliens: please begin your invasion now.</b> Following up on the success of <i>Lost</i>, the copycats at the networks have littered their schedules with stealth sci-fi series great and small. The three near-identical shows are NBC’s <i>Fathom</i> (a team of experts investigates strange happenings in the oceans!), ABC’s <i>Invasion</i> (a team of Florida townspeople investigates strange happenings after a hurricane!), and CBS’s <i>Threshold</i> (a team of experts investigates strange happenings in the oceans!). There’s just one problem with all of these <i>Lost</i>-like shows: Lost <i>isn’t</i> a show about alien invasions. So why the three identical alien plots? In other sci-fi news, there’s <i>The Night Stalker</i>, which would be an <i>X-Files</i> retread if <i>The X-Files</i> were not <i>itself</i> a retread of the original <i>Night Stalker.</i> And there’s <i>Ghost Whisperer</i>, which is a retread of <i>Medium.</i>
