Lost finished less than a half dozen votes behind the No. 3 pick, and it drew many, many more votes over Dog: The Bounty Hunter. (This knowledge alone may relieve a few Lost-ies out there.) But when we sat down with some fish biscuits and dug into the many reasons we loved Lost — entertainingly intelligent if sometimes convoluted storylines; flashbacks, flash-forwards and flash-sideways; richly conceived characters, etc. — we found one large shared reason we liked both Lost and Dog. We really like seeing our home-base island on TV!  When not filming scenes on Oahu's beaches and forests depicting action on The Island, Lost’s amazing production team made Hawaii a consistently credible stand-in for just about every place in the world but Hawaii.
