lets say you dont have Tivo or any type of DVR, which would you watch?

I think Id have to pick 24. Lost is just sucking right now.

General sentiment is that Lost Season 1 was awesome but fell off big time.
However, I take any season of 24 over Season 1 of Lost.

Flank 2 position!

edit: torrents to the rescue?

I'd watch 24, since I'm addicted to it and never really got into Lost. However if they were on the same cable channel (like NBC-HD and FOX-HD are two subchannels of the same physical channel on the cable system here), I'd record the whole stream and get both shows :p

I watched part of one episode of Lost, and never watched it again.

I watched the first episode of season 1 of 24, and went out and bought the first three seasons on DVD.

Battlestar Galactica is still my fave show though, with 24 being number 2 (not number 24).

I'd watch 24 because I know it'll have closure whereas I know watching lost will still leave me confused @ the end of the season.

exactly how I feel. 24 is fast paced (man that last episode kept me at the edge of my seat) and I know that the writers have a set story and it will end at the end of the season. whereas with lost, i get the feeling that the writers dont really know how the story will end up (that black smoke monster made it lose all possibility of being 'real') and they are writing each episode as they go along. Or thats what it seems like since they divulge so little at a time

24.... great plot, acting, action and they actually provide resolution to their plots.
Lost drags on too much and doesn't answer questions..... I still watch it, but I would choose 24 over Lost any day.
