7 ways The Event will be like Lost (and 1 way it won't)
Looking for a new show to get obsessed with now that Lost is over? We sure are. We've been hurt before, though. FlashForward promised to be good to us but left us crying in a tub of Haagen-Dazs. But come September, NBC will be offering The Event to viewers who are ready to take a chance on another big mystery.
The show's producers and stars laid out the reasons The Event could be our new Lost when they spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour on July 30 in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The Event's Mysterious Mysteries
NBC's new series The Event is a mystery – that much is clear, but little else is. The ads for the show have been very vague, and while I've actually seen the pilot, it's hard to discuss without feeling I'm giving too much away, particularly involving what occurs at the end of the pilot (but I will say it's pretty dang cool what happens). What I can say is it involves a group led by Laura Innes' Sophia; a young man (Jason Ritter) on vacation with his girlfriend (Sarah Roemer), only to have her seemingly vanish; and the president of the United States (Blair Underwood), who finds himself in the center of a crisis.
Speaking to the press today at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, executive producer Evan Katz noted that when it came to the secrets of show, "We're very cognizant of the audience's patience - of rewarding the audience. The show is designed to keep them hooked. We're keeping mysteries open, but we're also solving them." Katz added, "In the second episode, we are very clearly answering the two largest open questions in the pilot."
