The producers addressed this question back in 2006, in a Comic-Con
interview:
CCI: Carlton, you're known for the Adventures of Brisco County Jr.,
which was a genre bending series in its time. What exactly is Lost? Is
it action, adventure, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, soap opera or
all the above.
Carlton: I think it's definitely all of the above. I think what Damon
and I have really tried to do in the show is to never limit ourselves
in terms of what types of stories we tell. Part of the process of
making a series is you experiment and you discover what the bandwidth
of the series is and I think we've discovered that Lost has a pretty
wide bandwidth and can be really intense and dark at times, and yet we
can have really comedic moments and we've discovered they can exists
side by side.
Damon: It's hard really to sort of peg it into any specific genre. We
really think of Lost as sort of in the spirit of the Indiana Jones
movies. The Indiana Jones movies certainly operate in the fantasy
realm, that is to say, you've got people's faces melting off, or
Indiana Jones having a conversation with one of the original Knights
Templar, but it's set sort of in the real world in terms of the
adventure components of it. And it very much spins on sort of a
character fun with that intermingled with sort of really dark
maneuvering. We like to think of it as sort of an adventure show, with
all of the above.
I'm glad you said they "addressed" the question, and not "answered".
Wow, excuse me while I pull on my waders.
