What impact has 'Lost' had on TV dramas?

It has been an extreme case of serial storytelling where they kept reaching for new things to do. To twist and twist and twist the story. I think they may have gotten themselves in a little bit of trouble with that because most of the serials that succeed as serials do so because of the depth of characters' relationships evolving rather than because of external changes that keep happening. Lost is special for a business reason that has nothing to do with this though. Lost created the DVD market in a sense, because at the time that Lost released its I think it must have been its first season on DVD, there was a very small DVD market for television series. That package that they released of that season sold tremendously and validated the notion that people in the general public would go out and rent television series and it opened that marketplace wide up.
