Okay everyone! In anticipation for tonight's season finale - I thought I'd post this!!

Lost on Gilligan's Island
It has been described as 'Twin Peaks' meets 'Fantasy Island.' But look more closely and you'll see that 'Lost' -- the smash-hit ABC drama that has its season finale tonight -- is really nothing more than an elaborate remake of that other castaway classic, 'Gilligan's Island.' Don't believe us? Well sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful hit . . .
