Just finished up season 4, actually. You can view it all for free, legally at hulu.com
Probably one of the only good television shows. The characters are hilarious and the story lines are ridiculous (in a good way. For another good sitcom, I'd suggest "The IT Crowd." Bigger in the UK, not so much in the US. You can find episodes on YouTube.

Lost is the ONLY show I've ever fully kept up with. I admit, the show gets bland at times ... but I've seen TOO many episodes to just stop watching now... I think it's pretty obvious that the Island is in a "time bubble". The Dharma code they were entering kept time fully suppressed. To me this explains why babies can't be conceived on the island, why Dr. (Dad) Shepherd is alive on the Island, why Locke can walk, why Hugo, Locke can see/communicate with the dead, why Rose (black lady) doesn't have cancer anymore, why Desmond can see into the future (his original self did not DIE in the plane crash like the members of the flight, so theoretically, TWO "copies" exist of him, one in the future and one in island-supressed-time (it's 1990, for all we know)), why Walt aged so quickly (they were probably off the island for two or so years, henceforth in island time, this is a shorter period of time), why that "Other" who was killed still lives, why the copy of Michael can't die, and why Richard (the "Other" w/ black hair who Benjamin (Others' leader) met as a kid) didn't age, and why Benjamin aged (he is still making plenty of "reality" jumps, so he often ages in real-world time). The suppression of time literally created two different realities. So what that all means is when the hatch exploded, the Island "reality" time started to move forward with the rest of the universe. Also, I think the "?" area where Locke started to lose movement in his legs is the area where the time machine lays. Anyone get what I'm saying?
...And that is why this show will continue on, probably for another one or two seasons.... I think I'm just gonna catch up on Lost every month instead of every week from now on.

haha, yet you watch lost.
7 years ago i had the same impression, television sucks. which is just a stereotype. the quality of tv shows in the last 5-6 years, has sky rocketed. people who say tv sucks is ignorant. i mean, you did say you've -never- kept up with a show, so how would you know?
imo i would rather watch a great tv series, before a great movie. it's all about character development, and longevity. that's what a good story needs.
it's funny the same guys who say television sucks have probably seen a lot of movies. what's the difference? have fun watching 70% of the shitty azz movies they put out these days. meanwhile, i'll enjoy some epic series.
and for the record, i don't even use my tv, or "watch tv all day." i watch it on my computer. the internet will eventually take over tvs. it isn't so bad without channel surfing and commercials. fuk cable tv. pirate for lyfe.
now on topic,
the office finale was so good. i was lol'ing mega hard. great performances by everyone. long live michael scott. i don't even know who steve carell is anymore, he's just michael scott to me.
and lost has been aight. i was a big fan for season 1 but it's gone downhill. it's the most unorganized story evar. scatter brained script. doesn't mean it's not entertaining though.
/rant over and out.

That doesn't change the fact that television is complete crap. Honestly I do not like watching Lost all that much, because it's too long-winded. I regret "getting into" the show in the first place.

T.V. has a dumbing-down effect. I am proudly "ignorant" of the new, seemingly awesome shows that you rave about.

Great TV-series before a great movie? Don't TV-series "seasons" generally last 8-16 episodes? Great movies generally last 2 hours. If it takes 10 hours of TV for proper "character development", then I'll pass. If my main interest was character development, then I would spend 10 hours reading a great book instead. At least then you are exercising your mind, rather than keeping it in "neutral".

I've seen a lot of shitty movies, so now I try and choose wisely. Also try watching decent "new" movies like Into the Wild-or-Peaceful Warrior instead of the new James Bond-or-Die Hard III. By the way, Lost & The Office isn't my idea of an "epic series". Max Headroom is a series that falls into the "epic" category, in my opinion.
