Wait the ending of BSG is enough to condemn it but Lost is a must watch before we know what in the world it was all about? I would put Lost on my avoid at all costs list. They don't like heroes cause it only had a good first season. What season besides the first was good on Lost? Everything has been plot holes and ridiculous mysteries.
I'm riding this Lost thing out, but I can't imagine how they could possibly wrap it up in a satisfying way. There are just so many little mysteries they seem to have thrown in for no good reason. The writers say that the "core mysteries" will be answered in the final season. Well what the heck did you throw the other mysteries in for if you weren't going to answer them!? *head explode*
I'll give them that Buffy is a great show, but I think their list is very short on both sides.

I AM kinda pissed they didn't list Firefly & Dark Angel in the must watch part, though!

Gee, maybe because they want to see how they wrap it up before condemning something they haven't seen? Wacky idea... I know....

Groovy for you, but it's just your opinion - and a rather minority one to boot. You may not like it, but literally millions of people consider it the best show on TV.

Ah, but Chris...those shows are still on (in syndication anyway), Firefly is long gone...or I'll be it would be up there!
List is too short for me, too, but I'm gratified to see West Wing on top and Buffy as well! Shows class.
Here's one: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36195 : Firefly came in 14th (pretty damned good, considering how long it's been off the air!) and Buffy 2nd...and UGO put Buffy FIRST!
Amazon's list put Firefly THIRD: http://www.amazon.com/Best-TV-Shows-All-Time/lm/R2QOD1QGSHNRYA
The Boston Globe has Firefly at 14 http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/gallery/topscifishows?pg=35
Now, when you consider how short Firefly's life was and how few people saw it originally (I'm not counting us Browncoats who found it after the fact), I'd say that was pretty impressive! Also bearing in mind that people tend to think in terms of stuff they've seen recently, which makes it even more impressive...
I could make a long, LONG list these days of shows NOT to watch, but when I thought a bit, I can't come up with too much TO watch, even in syndication! Sorry state of affairs...sigh...

Last I checked there were billions of people alive today. You have a strange sense of the word minority. Plus lots of people watch shows they "love to hate". So, ratings do not show whether people actually think it's good or not. We'll have to wait to see the reaction when the show finally ends.

Oh, stop playing semantics. You know full well what I meant. But okay, of those who have actually seen Lost, the vast majority still think it's great.
Better?
And sure, some people watch shows they love to hate - but not many people waste their time like that. Pretty weak sauce.
Point being, just because YOU clearly have a big nasty hate-on for the show doesn't mean it's as horrible or hated as you seem to want to imply.

I'm not trying to prove it one way or another. I'm just stating opinion. Lots of people watching the show doesn't change my opinion at all. I think American Idol is total trash as well, but they get millions upon millions of happy viewers every year. I don't think the viewership changes the quality of the program.
