Lost's almost over... Here's a sitcom look back at past seasons!

Lost, yes Abrams' TV Show, ends officially today with the final 2 and a half hour series finale!
So I wanted to have at least one Lost-related post today as well : P

Sorry Jack... Once it will be over, you'll have to find other excuses to hang out in Hawaii...

Lost.
You may hate it, or love it. Pick a side!
I, for one, will be sad to see this cult phenomenon coming to an end, a well deserved ending. Everything has to end at some point, may it be shows, stories and life. (duh!)

You can hate it, but don't deny its impact it had on our modern TV programs (and even movies at some level).
Lost brought the shaky cam style mainstream so overly used in today's drama shows or movies, like Matrix with the bullet time not that long ago.
The multi ethnic huge cast as primary characters, the twisted endings/cliffhangers, the suspense and long story arcs back from their radio-drama graves and many more mystery/scifi aspects back in every new "big budget" series.

But I'm not here to discuss Lost this time.

I will miss it, it was great to talk about crazy theories every new episode/season with pals... To discuss, analyse and dissect every little pattern or part of the series' mytho.

No, we're here on this post today to have a little look back, a funny/parodic look back at past early seasons. Back then before going back in time with Desmond, back then before playing backgammon with Jacob thousands years ago on a beach, back then before flashsideways-ing.

Straight from CinematicESP's youtube channel, I wanted to post those parodic Lost Opening themes.
Making Lost into a Sitcom, with a perfect editing & music added to it? I'm sold!

Have fun with these Sitcom openings for Lost! The guy did an awesome work, well done!


Lost: The Sitcom! Season 1 intro  

 
Lost: The Sitcom! Season 2 intro 



Lost: The Sitcom! Season 3 intro 



This one's a bit different. "Lost: The Teen Drama. Season 4 intro"



Lost: The Sitcom! Season 5 intro   


And finally, a little something else from someone's else youtube account.
Another pretty creative work.
I don't really like Smallville... finding it a bit too much drama/emo/angsty/teen sub par adaptation of a legendary Superhero... But this Lost Smallville-styled opening is pretty clever and really well done as well!
Check it out:

  1. I was a lil sad with the ending they went with in the end since some geeks predicted it from series 1 : B but still I'll miss John Locke and his baldness! Though the actor bought a house near the set so if you go to Hawaii you'll see John Locke wondering around there still : ]

  2. I was gonna write an after-Lost finale look back...
    But I'm not sure I'm yet ready to write it down...

    I did like the finale, I'm sure people will hate it... it's a controversial ending, but a good one.
    (my problem is it being too much like the Quantum Leap finale!)

    Just thinking about how much awesome a John Locke hanging around in Hawaii would be to meet accidentally...!!!
