What is it with Lost?
 
It's currently on 3 telly channels at the same time! When that's about a third of the channels that are as close to being worth watching as you can get and you think its dung, it becomes an issue!

I always wondered why we were never introduced to hairdresser on the island who was keeping them all nicely trimmed up.

Hi Kitty - not entirely true but I cant put here what it was as I dont want to spoil it for others. :thumbsup:

As for Lost - I am still in the UK right now but I expect it to be repeated for years to come. (AKA Friends LOL) However I will say that for me it was worth the journey to watch - one thing I will say is that the final 2 episodes were a suitable / fitting end to Season 6 but a poor ending for "Lost".

Lasting six seasons is no guarantee of quality.............. Last Of The Summer Wine lasted 37 years............. :banghead:

What about the eventual finale to the Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes saga, equally disappointing.

My 18-year old son reckoned the final episode of The Sopranos was rubbish. I thought it was brilliant.

I thought it was a brilliant finish too, and probably the greatest TV series of all time. Fact.

Sopranos was excellent but The Wire is great too.

"lost" the plot along time ago, literally.

Agreed, the Wire is excellent. I'm also 6/7ths of the way through The Shield, another great show.

Totally agree. I wolfed down the first 6 1/2 series, then really dragged out the last 1/2 series--just didn't want it to end. Took me about 3 weeks before I was in the right frame of mind to watch the finale--sorta like tantric sex.

Apparently I am the gayest-straight man my wife knows which might explain why I love Glee ;)

Has anyone watched FlashForward? I really enjoyed it but they're not running a second series.

The ending of Life On Mars was a little disappointing, but what an excellent couple of series! USA version isn't too bad.

The entire series of Ashes to Ashes was terrible!


Your surrounded by armed bastards!

Although I found the star actress a little annoying, Ashes to Ashes was still better than most TV series. Not sure about the Yank version. Nobody can replicate Gene Hunt...my misses loves The Mentalist, thanks mainly to that blond Aussie actor playing the lead role.

Harvey makes a decent enough attempt at it, believe it or not.


But your right about no-one being able to play Gene Hunt as Phil what's his name.
