I don't see how anyone can still be watching 24 that watched previous seasons - the show is just a sad parody of itself at this point as it recycles every previously used plot point over and over.

Lost, while having a lot of crappy episodes this season, at least manages to be as good as it once was occasionally.

24 is weak now, and LOST still keeps me interested every week and has since it started airing. I had to go with LOST.

And btw ...

The Shield > LOST > 24

Now, if they could only get us to actually care about said "non-stop action." :laugh:

Not even close. The worst episode of lost is significantly better than the best episode of 24. Lost may have gone down hill but it has a long way to go before it's just campy popcorn entertainment like 24.

I'll take The Sopranos, Entourage, Jericho, Heroes and the Sheild over that nonsense any day

add Rome, Scrubs, The Office, Black Donnelys, Numb3rs, Without a Trace, Cold Case, and CSI to the list of shows better than Lost. I personally think Lost is in the bottom 25% right now

Rome is over. That hardly counts. Might as well include seinfeld and buffy while you are at it. Granted, rome only ended a week ago, but still.

The CBS shows you listed are all garbage, IMO. The worst 24 and Lost are better than the best episodes of numbers, without a trace, cold case, and CSI. Blech.

Not sure about TBD because I still haven't watched ep 3 on NBC.com so can't force myself to watch the subsequent episodes that I have tivod. Seemed kind of uneven. Is that show going to last??

I don't think so. The premise of Jericho is much more intriguing than the Soap Opera that Lost is.

I really like Lost, but I would love to watch 24 straight through from season 1. If only they werent so expensive.

Lost is just unwatchable, and has been for a long time. I don't think they've done anything interesting with that show since the first ten episodes or so. I tried to hang with it for a long time, but quit watching after about halfway into the second season. I tried to go back to it this year and still find it just ridiculous, and painfully dull. I have the sense the creators don't have any idea what they are trying to do with the show anymore.

This season of 24 is the worst yet, but I still watch and enjoy it.

24 by far. Although LOST is highly addicting and I've watched every episode, every time after i watch it I think to myself, "why did I sit though this pile of crap?" I just started watching 24 this season because I knew it would be an addictive show and it lives up to the hype.

Now, if the poll included The Shield, which starts tomorrow, it would be OVER!

The premise is better for sure, but all the cheesy plot lines are really terrible. I haven't watched since about episode 10, maybe it got better. Every episode was basically skeet running around being the hero and everyone else acting like an idiot in implausible circumstances.
