LOST (TV EXCEPTION #1)

I usually stick straight to the movies, but LOST, aka the best show in the world, showcases 23 in a billion ways. The magic numbers, so to speak, are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42, and there is a blog here on blogspot dedicated to showcasing referencing EACH NUMBER individually. I haven't looked at it in depth yet, but this web page sums up the 23s nicely.
