i'm watching edward scissorhands right now

[Plug Drugs]

i really wouldnt call it a "survival drama" especially after the first season

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the show promoted right around the time the show Survivor was really big? I think it was even advertised during Survivor's commercial breaks

if Lost is cliche and sucky, what TV show would you consider good? most everything on TV is pure crap, so maybe Lost isn't excellent but it stands out (to me) because it's better than pretty much everything else

exactly, everything on TV sucks. I haven't even turned on my TV recently to know what's "good" at the moment. I occasionally will be stoned and downstairs in the kitchen making food, and turn on cable down there and watch adult swim which seems to be consistently 'alright'. Idk are you seriously asking me advice on what to watch? I say fuck TV and just watch movies. Commercial interuptions complicate things and the substance of the story is compromised by the network's need to leave "cliffhangers" and other such associated bullshit

Lost debuted in 2004
Survivor was like the late 90s

i dont know if it was advertised during Survivor but I doubt it since Survivor was on CBS and Lost was on ABC
there might have been some crossover in the audiences due to the similar setting of a desert island but the similarity pretty much ends there


i watch a lot of movies too but I like TV shows because they suck you in more and you get more invested in the characters

yeah, most of them suck, most tv shows are reality TV and the ones that are actually scripted are usually shitty crime dramas or horrible sitcoms or whatever, but there are some good ones. In that regard, Lost is in a different league from most fictional serialized television shows, which is why there have been so many attempted copycats of Lost (like The Event and The River) all of which had boring characters and tried to be mysterious like Lost but totally failed to capture anyone's interest and got cancelled in the first season

I like scifi so I enjoy Star Trek, Stargate, etc. Most recently I finally watched Battlestar Galactica and it was overall an excellent series imo even if the ending was kind of botched (some people let bad endings ruin an entire series/movie for them)
