Lost is a reality television show screened in the U.S. and UK in late 2001. It was a game show in a race format where teams raced around the world with few or no resources. It is unrelated to LOST, the American TV series. The premise was similar to The Amazing Race, except the three two-member teams knew only the final destination and were given only a backpack full of clothes and other essentials. In addition, team members were not acquainted with one another prior to the show, and were assigned to teams. Contestants were blindfolded and dropped off in the desert of an unknown country to... find their way back to the US. The US finish line was the Statue of Liberty in New York City, and Nelson's Column in London served as the finish line in the UK version. The show was produced by Conaco, a production company owned by Conan O'Brien. Sports broadcaster Al Trautwig narrated the show. With the show premiering to dismal ratings, only two of the three sets of three episodes were produced; NBC blamed the lackluster numbers on the show debuting just before the September 11, 2001 attacks. The first set debuted on September 4, 2001.
