Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
JJ Abrams has talent. I know he tries. Nobody needs an excuse to watch escapist shows more than I do. But LOST lost me early. It was contrived & creepy. And not in a good way. Worse, it draggedâŠ
Iâm pleased to admit that Iâve never seen âLostâ, nor any of the âSurvivorâ shows either. I will admit to emailing news departments at local TV stations to inform them that pimping network shows on the 5 PM news wasnât ânewsâ.
Boy, people are as proud of not seeing this as of never having listened to the Monkees in the â60âs. (Reality was everyone tried it at least once.)
You guys must be in Purgatory not knowing what was happening (Sideways hint. Making the sideways really a flash forward, too.) Get it now, Sheik?
L&O, Lost, 24. Ed McBain, Robert Parker. Lately, Iâm running out of ways to burn up my precious time.
My daughter made me watch it with her once during a visit here, so sheâd watch one of my shows. My son had me watch a football game with him during a visit too, but Iâd never CHOOSE to watch either. I have extremely varied taste in shows, but the ârealityâ ones have to involve cooking, clothes or decor for me ;-) and I donât like ANY spectator sports.
No, no, the best part is that the show was so intentionally confusing, Pab was able to submit this strip a week ago and have no fears of the show spoiling the gagâŠWell done Mr. Sungenis!
And aside to Freeholder1 - but if Iâm not mistaken Peachyâs icon is one of the Darma logos fron one of the early seasons - methinks they tuned in more than they are letting on.
I only know of âLostâ from commentaries over the years, but Iâm surprised nobody has compared it to âTwin Peaksâ, another experiment in story-telling that crossed the bounds of reality and eventually ended up insulting the audience.
(And the same with âSt. Elsewhereâ which MorganZ mentions. I thought it was the worst series wrap-up Iâve ever seen and a poke in the eye for everyone who ever cared about the characters.)
Rabbitroseâthat would be both Newhart AND Lost, if you watched Kimmelâs Aloha show. I liked both Lost and the Kimmel wrapup. Snakes On a Plane 2âElectric Boogaloo. Funny stuff!

Personally, Iâll miss Law and Order more. I enjoyed a show where the bad guy might win in court.

Iâm with you, coot31. Iâve never watched Lost, Survivor, American Idol, or the dancing shows. I limit my reality TV watching to Mythbusters.

I love how folks who spend hours on their computer REALLY close to the screen, pontificate how evil TV is.
Peachy, you donât know the difference between dumb and over your head.

And then Bob woke up next to his wife and told her about the crazy dream he had about running a hotel inâŠ
Wait. That was âNewhartâ, wasnât it?

i loved lost and the original tv version of the prisoner who said good tv had to make sense? couldnât get much into twin peaks though
and as far as the lost ending? yes they died yes they lived (at least some) and no threads were tied up
