It's an interesting question. 'Found' really started as the desire to do something more than a weekly "talking heads" show. A handful of people had a keen interest to make a narrative (fictional story) season of something, partly to get the feel of what it would be like to work as professionally as possible on that kind of production, and partly because if it worked, it would be amazing. Finally, Andy managed to take the step from discussing and theorizing to making it possible, by talking it over and getting approval from the department. The only thing needed at that point was an idea good enough to make into a show.
After at least five minutes of sincere and genuine imagination, the idea for a parody on ABC's show "LOST" seemed to receive popular support, and this became the origin of FOUND. Since then, the show has undergone significant growth, and it became apparent after only a few meetings that everybody involved wanted to make something more than a one-joke ripoff. So, 'Found' has evolved into something a bit more serious, more of a true drama in its own right than a comic shadow of it's predecessor. But don't be fooled; with a writing staff like you have here, you can bet that somehow a laugh or two might make it into the script...
