Is NBC looking for its own Lost?

NBC logoLet the copycatting begin!

Actually, I'm surprised that, two years into the Lost phenomenon, there isn't a "mysterious deserted island" show on all four networks, the CW, MyNetwork, the FoodTV, and the Hot Network. It was quite a blissful time for TV viewers. But that blisfulness is about to be shattered; as NBC is developing a show called Isla Du Sol, about a Brazilian woman who travels to a mysterious island to satisfy her aunt's dying wish. There she finds things out about her past that she had never known before.

I'm sure there will be flashbacks, hidden and not-so-hidden clues, and lots and lots of thick vegetation. But I'm sure it'll be quality; it's created by Tom Wheeler, who is writing an updated version of The A-Team for the CW. Oh, never mind.

Granted, I could be way off on this, but of the TV promos I've seen for CBS's Jericho looks like it could be trying for a Lost-like feel. They just replace an island with an middle America town isolated after a nuke.

Heroes has some of that "Lost" feel to it mixing in elements of X-Men and Unbreakable.
So I think they are hoping that it's this season's "Lost".

Maybe this isn't necessarily a copycat. I mean, how many isolating land formations are there in the world? Also, how many people thought LOST was just going to be a really boring Survivor/Cast Away show?

Lost has grown far beyond the "desert island" show, and this one could go in a different direction entirely.
