When I was watching family channel and this show came on, I watched like half of the show and it was so stupid. It had crappy acting and a pointless story line (copied from the show Lost). I mean, all they did was whine,spaz and throw tantrums throughout the whole show. This was by far the worst show I have EVER seen and I'm glad it got cancelled.
shareI know, I agree completely. This show is not entertaining at all, and all the episodes basically have the same theme.
shareAnd Lost is a more serious copy off of Gilligan's Island, but with a plane. Honestly, that comparison is absurd. Do you know how many movies/books/tv shows have been written/made/shown about people being stranded after a wreck. Every person to make that comparison, morons.
shareThe basis of Lost is nothing like Gilligan's Island. Watch it sometime, it might make you more intelligent. As far as Flight 29 goes, it's a kiddy version of Lost. but who really cares?
shareI've watched Lost before. Lost is a copy off of Gilligan's Island with a plane and few more twists. It's also a copy of Lord of the Flies and Robinson Crusoe and The Cay and every other story where people get stranded and have to survive. It's a well used theme throughout the course of literary and media history.
Try reading a book sometime or drag yourself out of Lost-world. Like I said, anyone who'd make that comparison is an idiot. So... I guess that makes you, what?

You people are such idiots. Giligans Island was a comedy. LOST is about space-time continuum, science, physics, time travel, unexplained phenomena, greek mythology, etc, etc, etc. Giligans Island and LOST have absolutely nothing in common, except that there are people on a deserted island.
29 Down is a rip off, and youre just angry because either you parents dont let you watch LOST or youre too stupid to understand what LOST is really about.
.... Yeah. Someone obviously needs to pay a bit more attention in English class. Since you seem to be want a more direct comparison, lets bring up Star Trek. It has pretty much all those things you listed including being stranded away from home.
But never mind. Even that comparison might be too difficult for your little mind to take in. So whatever, you can think what you want. Ignorance is bliss so your sure to have a lot of fun with that.
Coming from somebody whos favorite TV shows are So You Think You Can Dance and America's Next Top Model, your opinion means absolutely nothing.
Also, notice how you didnt dispute anything I said? Instead you resorted to insulting me, which only means that youre angry you cant make a valid counter-point and you know that I am right.
I know you thought you were so clever and witty by telling me I need to pay attention in english class and my little mind has difficulty taking things in, but that only proves the second paragraph of this post correct - that you cant make any valid arguments and you know Im right, so you resort to insults.
Ignorance is bliss, and you are just as stubborn and immature as the next person. I feel sorry for you.
And - another thing JOY - if youre going to tell me to pay attention in english class, you may want to learn the difference between "your" and "youre." Just throwing that out there, since you found the need to insult my intelligence, yet at the same time you cant even use simple grammar that was learned in the first grade. And - dont try and tell me it was typo, because you and I both know it wasnt.
But go ahead, throw out some more insults my way. It only further proves the fact that I am right, and youre just stubborn and looking for an excuse to insult somebody simply because they disagreed with you.
Id hate to see what happens with you in the real world.
I love how you try to correct me and make a mistake yourself. It's YOU'RE just to let you know. *laughs* I'm sorry, I find that hilarious. Just to let you know, I do know the difference. And with you added to the list, that makes, what is it, 10 or 11 people who tried to use something so stupid and small to make me 'feel stupid'. Not it wasn't a typo, I just choose to write your.
And another thing, I'd suggest doing a simple search on google. Type in Lost and Gilligan's Island. You'd be surprised how many results come up :D
And just before I end this, I want to add, the history of people is long, the history of literature just about as long. You really think there's going to be a completely original idea at this point in time? You really think that Lost is based off of completely new ideas that just popped out of the creator's heads? If you do, then I seriously (and I mean seriously) question your intelligence.
All youre proving now is that you like to hear yourself talk.
When did I ever say LOST and Giligans Island were not similar at all? I never did. All I said was that LOST didnt RIP OFF giligans island and that there are vast differences between the 2 shows. Can you tell me anything similar between the 2 shows other than they are stranded on an island? The Losties got stranded because of an accidental release of electromagnetic energy, resulting in their plane getting sucked towards the island. Giligans - a bunch of rich idiots went on a cruise, sailed into a storm, and washed up on a deserted island. The island is the only common factor between the shows, and I stated that in my original post. Quit trying to put words in my mouth so you have an excuse to use something against me - something that never even existed in the first place. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
I was never analyzing anything in the first place. I just simply stated that LOST did not rip off Giligans Island, and obviously I struck a nerve, because you have gone completely out of you way to try and belittle me for no reason.
You can also add yourself to the "list of 10 or 11 people," because you twisted and turned a simple statement I made into this long, drawn out conversation that was never needed. You have already accused me of saying things I have not said nor did I even come close to implying.
You just simply cant stand the fact that somebody disagrees with your opinion so instead of making valid counter points, you resort to insulting. Very child like.
Also, when did I ever say LOST was a totally new concept and idea? I never did. Not once. Not even close. Once again you are putting words in my mouth and assuming that you know exactly what I am thinking and then taking that and trying to use it against me, which is funny because you have no clue at all.
So all this time, while youre trying to be clever and witty...youre using LIES to shoot down everything im saying. And by LIES - I mean the *beep* that youre making up in your head that you think Im thinking or saying, when I havent at all.
You amaze me, you really do.
"All youre proving now is that you like to hear yourself talk."
Uh huh

Can I say, if Lost isn't a rip off than how is this show. Calling this show a rip off of Lost says that you call similarities a ripoff. If a plane crashing on an island and having to survive is enough to make a rip off, then Lost is a rip off of Cast Away.
I'm not even going to comment on the rest of that because your obviously seeing what you want. Since we're using lists, let me add you to the 20 or so people who've made a point and then decided to take it back when's someone (often me) made them feel stupid. Whatever, you have fun. I'm moving on. I've had too much stupid in my lifetime and I don't want prolonged exposure to cause it to rub off on me.
You know, just for so, let me post your own original post for you. We can see how perfectly nice and reasonable your comment was and how I started the whole thing:
"You people are such idiots. Giligans Island was a comedy. LOST is about space-time continuum, science, physics, time travel, unexplained phenomena, greek mythology, etc, etc, etc. Giligans Island and LOST have absolutely nothing in common, except that there are people on a deserted island.
29 Down is a rip off, and youre just angry because either you parents dont let you watch LOST or youre too stupid to understand what LOST is really about."
Um, yeah, Im still right.
Your basing LOST on a comparison to Giligans Island, yet youre defending Flight 29 down. Makes zero sense.
Also, you have not made one single valid counter-point to anything ive said. You just put words in my mouth to fit what you want to say.
You could make a valid argument, but instead you decide that im not worth your time because my stupidity will rub off on you.
Its quite obvious that you cant dispute anything that I am saying, so you just run off and say that youre done with me.
If its easier for you to ignore something instead of dealing with it head on, I feel sorry for you.
Bottom line - your compairsons are a joke, and youve obviously never watched an episode of LOST otherwise you wouldnt be defending 29Down and comparing LOST to star trek and giligans island.
Enjoy your kiddie love stories and reality TV. Youre one in the same.
No your really not but whatever you want to tell yourself.
Honestly, I don't think Lost is a ripoff of Gilligan's Island. But neither is Flight 29 Down a rip off of Lost. The original comment was 'If Flight 29 Down is a rip off of Lost, then Lost is a rip off of a lot of other shows that came before it, Gilligan's Island being one.' The whole point of that is to illustrate how idiotic you and any others who claim ripoff over such a ridiculous similarity. They both were on planes that crashed and got stranded on an island. Like I've said before, do you know how many shows/books/movies have been based on this general idea? I have to repeat myself and say that only an idiot ripoff over such a ridiculously small similarity. Learn the definitition of a rip off before you run around making stupid accusations.
I have an interest in dance and also one in photography. I also enjoy reading and did a lot of analysis of books, short stories and poetry. Analyses that include finding the connection in things that might not be immediately obvious to lesser minds (case in point).
You obviously didn't read what I wrote well if you don't think there's dispute in there. But look who I'm talking to, someone who doesn't even understand the most basic concepts of analysis. Two things that seem completely different can be very much the same and the fact that you don't get that shows that your English teacher did a very bad job with you.
You don't have to feel sorry for me at all. I paid attention in school, so did the rest of us who can clearly see the connection between the two shows. The fact that you don't... *laughs*. You clearly reflect the deficiency in the American school system.
Um soundreamn I hate to break it to you but Flight 29 Down was in production way before Lost so your argument is not plausible
shareThe thing that annoyed me is they all looked so clean and were wearing make-up. I mean, wtf at least TRY to make the show believable.
shareIT WAS A KIDS SHOW! A FREAKIN' KIDS SHOW!!! YOU IDIOTS! The creators of the show wasn't going to make them look all dirty and bloody looking!
shareI agree. AND IT DID NOT GET CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!! THEY ENDED THE SHOW PROPERLY, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
shareI never did see an ending to the show, it just kind of stopped after they lost the plane to the storm. Maybe I just missed it?
Either way, my opinion is even if a person didn't like the show, even if they thought it was stupid, the constant statements that it's a Lost ripoff are ridiculous. Because if it's a ripoff of Lost, then Lost is a ripoff of a whole lot of other things.
I agree. The rip-off thing is just absolutely ridiculous. After a while there really are no "new" ideas, just new ways to present them.
Also I don't know about Lost or when it was made but I'd like to throw out there Flight 29 started out as a book.

shareI agree %100.
YOU'VE BEEN ON AN ISLAND HOW LONG?!
WHY IS CORBIN BLEU'S HAIR STILL AN AFRO?!
"Oh my god there they are!!" -simpsons movie
Because. It. Is. A. Kid's. Show.

he's black or half whatever and afro's are common espically if you're not able to get to a beauty/barber shop, just wash and wear
shareWhat are you talking about? If my mom were stuck on an island and not treating her hair or getting it done or anything it would be in an afro.
shareWas his hair supposed to magically straighten itself after a few days on the island?
Taylor's hair started out straight, and from the flashbacks you could tell she usually wore it straight when they were back home, but after the first few episodes her hair frizzed up and got all curly, because of the lack of a blow dryer/flat iron. If people have naturally curly/frizzy hair, it's going to stay that way if you don't do anything to it besides wash it and comb it out for a month.

c'mon guys,
it's a KID'S show. it's on discovery KIDS.
it's not like they're showing it on primetime fox.
they don't expect adults to watch the show and judge, they expect young children to watch the show and be entertained with storyline that's unusual to them.
[deleted]
They whined, spazzed, and threw tantrums because they're teenagers and that's what we do.
Especially if you were stranded on an island with a bunch of other kids that you hate that won't do anything.
It's "stupidest" not "most stupid." Sorry, that was just really bugging me.
And personally, I think this show would be more entertaining if the kids acted more... well, their age. They act younger sometimes, less realistic. I mean, I know it's a kid's show and all, but that's something I think would make the show better.
Actually he was correct in saying it is the most stupid show he's ever seen. Stupidest is not even a word in the dictionary. You shouldn't try to correct people with slang or things that aren't even words in the dictionary, eventually it will be.
sharelol, i'm not going to get into a big debate or anything because it's pointless. Everyone has their own opinion and nothing is going to change it.
I like this show, though. I recently got into it due to the lack of shows on at 2:30 in the morning, but now I watch it about every night..morning? Lol
