i didnt feel like going through all the threads etc. to see if this would correlate.

my favorite TV shows are arrested development and 24, which most of OOT likes.

the other show which gets mentioned a lot here is lost. convince me to buy the first season.

I just got into Lost about two weeks ago, when I stayed home sick one day and rented the first disc of season one. I rented it on Friday. I had gone through all 6 discs, about 18 hours, by Monday. I've since gotten the first five episodes of the second season off of Limewire/iTunes, and am counting the days until my first new episode. So many cliff hangers, so little time.

I almost echo this completely.

I went to Hawaii a few weeks ago with my girlfriend and bought the first season of Lost for the plane ride.

If you didn't know, Lost was filmed in Hawaii. So we watched the first few episodes on a plane to Maui. She was freaked out during the plane scenes, but I enjoyed the connection I felt to the art.

Anyway, we have both decided collectively that after pouring through the whole season and catching up on this season that this is definately our favorite show.

We also watched the first 3 seasons of 24 on DVD, and if you liked those, Lost is even better.

This pretty much exactly describes my experience with Lost, Season 1. Worth the 50 bucks you'd spend to buy it.

Us brits are miles behind I think episode 10 of the first series. Was getting sick of waiting so downloaded the rest of season 1 and up to date on season 2.

My interest is starting to wane I am up to episode 3 or the new season, the 3-4 minutes or repetitive material at the start gets on my nerves. I dont think things are moving on that fast and I did think that the ending of season 1 was all a bit of an anti climax. I also dont think its as intelligent as some on here have said all the main points ie the numbers, linking of peoples pasts were rammed down the audiences throats. Need to dig out that link to the lost board and see if I am missing some of the subtleties of it.

I will keep watching but there there has been better US drama out than this in the past.

When I think about how much I spend on things, I round to the nearest 50.

I break a rule today not to ever post in OOT [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

This has been on the UK but I know it's bigger in the US. Some of you may enjoy this if it hasn't already been linked

You def. should get LOST. If 24 is still one of your favorites after seasons 3 and 4 you gotta watch some new tv.

MightyMouse · #10 10-24-2005, 10:45 PM

i think season 1 of 24 is the best series of any show ever. i thought 3 was better than 2, but still very good. waiting anxiously for season 4 to come out.

you guys have me convinced to get lost.
