# I've stuck with Lost as it's still entertaining bunkum
Gave up on 24 when it went to Sky. Frankly it was only ever going to really work for one series and that series didn't work because they only commissioned half of it.

Never watched The Wire, Prison Break, Flash Forward or The West Wing.

# I'm keenly looking forward to the last season of Lost
half because I've really enjoyed the last season, (and as you say, it really is enjoyable hokum) and they could go out on a high, and half because I want to see if they really can tie everything up convincingly at the end.

# I got lost on Lost
during season 3 when the focus was more on "the others" and all the initial mystery/fantasy was lost. From all I hear it picks up on the mysterious aspect in later seasons in which case I may rent some to catch up.

# season three drudged along a bit, season 4 picked it up (introduced several newbies)
season 5 delved right into the mythology (jacob/island especially)
and ended on a high.
Season 6 promises a lot, *fingers crossed* it delivers

# Is 6 the last one?
I thought it was going to 7

# Nope, next season is the last (17/18 episodes)
they have a lot to cram in
/starts Feb.

# Now that sounds more like it.
It was the mythology that set it apart from anything else on TV at the time and I was gutted they tried to ground it in too much reality (cf. Phantom Menace & midi-chlorians vs. The Force).

# The West Wing was ace

# I've stuck with Lost as it's still entertaining bunkum
Gave up on 24 after season 2 or 3. Frankly it was only ever going to really work for one series and that series didn't work because they only commissioned half of it.

Never watched The Wire, Prison Break, Flash Forward or The West Wing.

hey...what a coincidence!

# haha, you are my Dutch Equivalent!
It is my theory that everyone in the world has a Dutch Equivalent.

# Hahaha that's a good theory
and probably correct too

# I gave up on 24 after series 3.
I've stuck with Lost, and am sticking with FlashForward even though it is a pile of pants

I also like Defying Gravity.

# series three was pants (in comparison) to say the least
season 5 more than made up for that though :)

# series 5 of 24 was fantastic
I loved the happy shopper Nixon President.

I quite enjoyed the last series, especially the fruity and feisty sidekick he picked up.

But all the toing and froing with TOOONNNYYYY!!!!! got a bit annoying after a while

# thankfully he may just have a 'minor' role in the last season
/at best. It's not been confirmed even if he shows up.
He's not in the promo pic, anyway:

# I thought his wife killed him in season 6?
oh, but when did that matter in the 24-iverse

he survived, and has been confirmed as coming back next year
