EDITOR'S NOTE: A DVD SET THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S WORTH THE PURCHASE. (WHEN CAN WE COME OVER, ANDREW, AND WATCH THE EXTRAS?)

ABC had an excellent season last year, with both Lost and Desperate Housewives becoming overnight successes. Following a pattern that has become common, the network is rolling out the first seasons of these shows, beginning with Lost , which is now available, just in time for the Sept. 21 premiere of the program's second season.
ABC The first season of Lost is now out on DVD.
Lost is quite an ambitious project for network television. Following a violent mid-air disaster, a section of a commercial airliner crashes on the shore of a tropical island. Several people emerge from the wreckage and begin to scrape together necessary survival tools while attempting to expedite their rescue. It soon becomes apparent that neither the island nor any of the passengers are exactly what they appear to be — and with evidence of a large predator on the island, things soon become very tense.
The strength of the show lies in its ability to juggle its increasingly convoluted, though never totally overwhelming, plot revelations, while keeping each of its many characters important and fresh. There are more than a dozen principal personalities, whose portrayers include Matthew Fox, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan and Terry O'Quinn.
Each episode weaves flashbacks with current action to reveal, little by little, the pre-crash lives of the seeming strangers and uncover the "Twin Peaksian" ways in which their pasts intersect, hinting at darker truths buried even deeper.
As a serial program with almost no episodic plots to speak of, this is a perfect television show for DVD — to be enjoyed in marathon sessions with no concession to commercial interruptions.
The extras are a good example of what most TV series made in the DVD era can offer. The standards include cast and creator commentary tracks, audition tapes and cast testimonials, a making-of featurette and a piece by the creators on how the show was conceived.
A bonus feature for lost Lost fans is a collection of revealing, unaired flashbacks that didn't make it into the first season and hint at secrets yet to be revealed.EDITOR'S NOTE:OOOOO!!!
