Suggested for both the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 seasons, the series was never produced; however, a pilot episode was shot. Abrams also cast Grunberg in a cameo role in the pilot of his 2004 series Lost. Grunberg returned for the first-season finale, but his scenes were cut for time, and were included on the season 1 DVD set. To those who had followed the Grunberg-Abrams friendship, it was not surprising to see him appear in a small role in Mission: Impossible III , which Abrams directed.
