On September 22, 2004, the fictional plane Oceanic 815 crashed into an island full of mystery, danger, and redemption. So began the intricate, and sometimes maddening, lore of the hit television drama, "Lost."

20 years after its debut, guest host Scott Pukos and our guests look back at the show’s iconic moments and characters, plus discuss its spot among other “golden era” TV shows. (mild spoilers, but nothing major).
