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.

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.

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 5 delved right into the mythology (jacob/island especially)
and ended on a high.
Season 6 promises a lot, *fingers crossed* it delivers

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).

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.
