1. After the show, my daughter and I would get on the phone and discuss every aspect of the show. It was great fun; we could not watch it together since I am in Texas and she is in Arizona

2. Many DUers will remember that there was a Lost Group here. It was a real hoot too. There were great nicknames for many of the characters (as we all know DUers are hilarious) and great theory posts about whatever strange thing had happened in the show. (some of which were incredibly inventive and off the wall hilarious. My favorite nickname: the Smoke Monster was known as Old Smokey.
