They were created by the same people. So its like in 2001, they were said, 'Hey, I have an awesome idea! A new anti-terrorist show dealing with a not-so-covert anti-terrorist agency and seeing how they deal with terrorist threats within the first 24 hours!'.
Then someone is like, 'Too bad lfn is over. That would've made a great plot while it was still running. But how are we going to have the same emotional depth as lfn?'
'We're not. We have a budget now. Explode stuff.'
Sigh. If only they had had that plot and a decent budget 5 years before...
Ok, too much off topic... I'll stop now...
