Flight 29 Down

This show is so awesome!!! It is suspenseful, funny, and dramatic. I don't think there is another show like it. Okay sure maybe Lost is like it but still. I mean lost is for older teenagers and adults. This show is for kids and young teens. The acting is the best part. I think the best actors in this series are Corbin Bleu, Johnny Pacar, Halle Hirsh, and Kristy Wu. The rest of the actors are pretty good too. I hope this show stays on the air for a long time. I know it may not be as good as The Suite Life of Zack and Cody or That's So Raven, but it's still good. Besides most shows you see today have the same old plot. Teenagers trying to make their way through a confusing and frustrating life. Dealing with school, family, friends, and dating. But this show is both creative and real. At least give it a chance. I promise you won't regret it. I don't. I watch it almost every time it's on! 9/10 for Flight 29 Down!

This is the best show on Discovery Kids.I was already a Corbin Bleu Fan. When I found out that Corbin was going to be in this show, I felt that I just had to watch it.This show reminds me of Lost and Survivor. Although I think that Flight 29 Down is much better. All of the cast names are Corbin Bleu(Nathan), Allen Alvarado(Lex), Hallee Hirsh(Daley), Johnny Pacar(Jackson), Jeremy James Kissner(Eric), Lauren Storm(Taylor), and Kristy Wu(Melissa). It is written by Stan Rogow,who is also wrote scripts for Lizzie McGuire.All of my siblings love it. I like this show so much that I bought the book, which tells the beginning of what happened , before the show started. I give it three thumbs up.

I love this show it is SO great. people say its a cheap cut off of LOST but we all know its not. I love this show! Every that says it is coping off of LOST ha not around for a while. First what about Gilligan's island , survivors, the real Gilligan's island (the remake of the older version) and a-zillion others but no one pays attention to that. DO THEY? Anyway i like the video diaries heres way : 1)iget a close up of Corbin Bleu's face(aka Nathan) 2)It show how the character really feel. Some think that kids my age don't like the show i do because i seriously think that if me and 9 of my other classmates were strand on an island we'ed act the same way!

This show is not a rip off of Lost. The concept for the show was made even before Lost got on the air. The show may seem simple at first with just some kids stuck on an island but there is SO much more to it! The stuff they do in every episode is really interesting. Yeah, it could be a little more edgy with maybe someone getting really sick or dying but it's still good. Watching the relationships between the characters is what gives this show a heart. Trying to figure out who's going to end up with who and how each character will react to a situation is what keeps it interesting. This show could easily get boring but it's not. It feels like forever when I have to wait a week for the new episodes. And, if you all think this is some 12 year old writing this well you're wrong. I'm 20 years old and my sister (age 18) loves this. I even think most of the audience for this show are mid-teen girls and up. The added bonus to the show is having Johnny Pacar and Jeremy Kissner as Jackson and Eric. They are very appealing to watch, especially Johnny. So don't listen to people who say that it's a cheesy kiddie show cause it's so not! Watch an episode or two and give it a chance. You'll love it, really!

I love this new show. I will quote someone who posted on message board below who gave good summary why this show is not the same as Lost!

"So I actually saw this show and loved it. I think it has lots of potential and I'm curious to see how it develops. And yes, the idea is much like Lost (I'm a huge fan of Lost) with a plane crashing and trapping a group of people on a tropical island. But Lost was also not the very first story to have that setting! Hello!? Blue Lagoon? Lord of the Flies? Gilligan's Island? Castaway? and the list goes on OF COURSE! because it really is an interesting concept. Throwing people on a deserted island and watching their behavior as they are stripped of the modern world and it's social structures can give a lot of insight and spark many questions regarding humanity in general. Also, Flight 29 Down's approach to this microcosmic concept is different to that of Lost's. I mean, at the very least, they are completely different genres!

It's interesting how much debate this show has gotten over whether or not it is a "ripoff." But people fail to notice that all over the internet it says that this show was in production before Lost was even on the air, and that the creators had been working with it for years, long before lost was even heard of. And If it really were a ripoff, then they worked impossibly fast in writing, pitching the script to Discovery Kids, casting, shooting, and getting it on the air after Lost became a hit, which was now only a year ago. It generally takes longer than a year to get an idea to become a show, and to get a show on the air. But regardless, Flight 29 Down really was made before Lost was on T.V.

Also, If I may toss in two more cents, Lost and Flight 29 Down are not the only two similar shows out there. How many sitcoms about families and their dumb dads are there? A LOT more than two. and we never stop enjoying them! well...that's not true; sometimes we get sick of them. but nonetheless, they keep getting made. But for some reason, no one calls any of them "knock offs."

Anyway, Flight 29 Down has a lot to offer. That much is apparent in the first two episodes. And I'm ready for a good family show."
