Resgate do Vôo 29

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!

Okay, I get that this is a watered down kid's show, but every character, especially the one adult and so-called pilot, is an idiot. That's no fun to watch, right off the bat. Don't tell me this guy was the only chaperone for a school trip PLUS having his hands full flying the plane. Maybe if they'd had a few more adult chaperones who happened to get killed in the crash, that would make it more realistic and believable, but I guess that would be reason to lose a G-rating for NBC's Discovery Kids lineup.

I'm watching a rerun of the pilot episode as I write this, and AIRLINERS DON'T FLOAT! That's why they're required to have flotation devices for all passengers, so WHERE ARE THEY? Oh, and the word for the letter W in the international phonetic alphabet is WHISKEY, not "William". Isn't that taking watering things down for the G-rating a little too far?

I thought that the purpose of the Discovery Kids lineup was to inform and educate by entertaining. The only way for this to have any educational value would be for all the characters to die off, the way they would if it would be a real-life situation, to show the audience how NOT to survive.

Like I said, every character in this show is an idiot. Maybe it's autobiographical for the writers!

I like this show. I have to say that it's a kid version of Lost, but it's not as dramatic as Lost, so it's suitable for kids. And that's good.

There have been a lot of shows that I've liked, but haven't gone on for a long time. It's actually kinda sad. Some good shows just aren't caught on by people, and it's not as popular as other ones. I hope this stays on for a while, it's got a good plot, and it's not so 'heavy' as other shows. Even though it's a 'kids' show, or 'preteen' or whatever you wanna call it, it's a fun show that everyone can like. But to like it, it's gotta be aired for a while, right?

I also LOVE the fact that it's filmed in HAWAi'I!!! Chee-hee!! Haha, I love it, 'cause I'm from Hawai'i. So yeah, makes sense huh? But really, it's a fun show. I hope it lasts.

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!

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."
