I loved this show when it was aired in 1969. My Mom didn't allow us to watch it as it was very controversial at that time. I remember the episode in which one girl got pregnant, and then, before I found out what happened, my Mom came downstairs and whooped on me for watching it. She thought it was "filthy". Crazy. It really does have a lot of parallels with Lost. This didn't last, as many good and interesting shows don't. But I would sure love to see it again. It's funny how this one has stuck with me over the years. I agree with many of the other reviewers that this was undertaken as an experiment and was a concept and effort born of the times. What I enjoyed most was the pushing of the envelope of what kinds of social structures are possible in such an isolated environment. I would have liked to see it last longer and explore these ideas even more.
