What Parents Need to Know

About Flight 29 Down

Parents need to know that while this show deals with a group of teens who survive a plane crash, the focus is on character interaction, not the graphic/scary details of the crash. This is no Lost.

    Favorite Show To Date!!

    Your going on a camping trip with 9 of your friends at paradise. One catch: Your plane crashes and you have to survive on a deserted island. That's what 9 teens and a 10 year old find themselves doing. At first, Daley and Nathan are basically chomping at the bit to be leader, Taylor and Eric think it's a joke, Melissa's doing whatever she's told, and outsider Jackson's being solitary. This show has the perfect balance of drama, humor, and action. Why are these adults giving it a bad rep?! It's awesome, so what if the acting's just okay at first. IT GETS BETTER! - Hann. P.S: Johnny Pacar is hot!

    a bit uneventful

    Fairly boring show, it would be enjoyed by preteens. It was ok at first, but then it started getting extremely repetitive. Try 'Lost' instead if you're looking for a survival show.
