This show was like PBS's Lost. It was the most expensive children's program they ever produced, so every episode was part of a five-show arc to ensure people would keep watching. A show about a ghost who is not illiterate.
The statement that this was 'like PBS's lost' was a simile–a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid. In this case, Jeff Fries was comparing the common features of high production values and plot hooks that this PBS show shares with ABC's 'Lost'.
My friend Andrew knows the whole "In here, they judge you by your words not your actions" speech and will quote it while carressing his computer screen.
