Well, probably my favorite is LOST.

I am pretty heavily invested in it. If I had to pick one show to watch to its conclusion, it would be LOST.

I am also really enjoying House. I am so impressed with what they are doing with the show now that Greg has officially lost his mind and now he is getting help. Trying to live a healthy life knowing that he is a bitter, addiction-driven genius butthead. Sounds like me (minus the addiction part) :)

I really did want to see where they were going with Eli Stone even though it was getting pretty far out there. Somehow the idea of one guy saving the world with supernatural powers with such a mundane ordinary existence was kinda weird and I'm not so sure that people were so easily able to bridge those two worlds inside of a suspension of disbelief mode. It was too much belief (ordinary world) and then suddenly disbelief (supernatural); hard to balance on those for most folks I think. Plus it seemed to me that they really had a screwy angle on his love life that was really exasperating. He had this son early on in the show and they didn't develop it any further; that was weird. You'd think if he was this super-guy that his son would play an important role in him redeeming himself (which was really what the show was about as he was this lawyer who had gained a conscience as the premise for the show).

I'm looking forward to 24, of course, but The Mentalist and Lie to Me seem to be darling shows that we don't want to miss. I greatly enjoy the premises of these shows. They are really cool.

I'd love to see if Daybreak makes it to DVD.

You'd think that with shows like this (and even with a show like Eli Stone) that only made it for one season for less than a season that the networks would be interested in doing a 3-episode mini-series which raps up the entire story line. They could just do a two-hour wrap up and that would be awesome.

gee, veronica - sounds like someone on lost is "controlling" you too, given your off-season withdrawals!

speaking of mysterious conspiracy shows- anyone hear ever watch the showtime series Total Recall 2070?  i only caught a couple eps, but it seemed like they had a cool background story they were working on with it.  i've been meaning to see if it ever came out on DVD (i checked a couple of years ago, and only a couple eps were available)

I haven't seen a response from him yet.  I meant that his assertion was also the same reason why I like NwM too.  I just made a type-o. hehe. But maybe you're right..could have had nothing to do with me.

Miguel,

That was weird.

Give it a shot.

Maybe it had nothing to do with you?

strange...after I made this post replying to James S's post to the group, he seemed to have unsubscribed.  Was it something I said?  Looking back now, I see that I wrote, "I think this much is true for you too" when I should have wrote, "I think this much is true for me too"  Maybe me writing "you" instead of "me" changed the meaning of the sentence causing him to think I was telling him that *he* was a man against impossible odds? 
 
Oopps..
 
I'll email him directly to try to invite him back.

I think this much is true for you too.  Its sort of a bigger story, one man or a small group of people against almost impossible odds, and an almost unlimited number of peices of the puzzle that have to be put together.
 
FlashForward seems to be like this.  I think a week ago I mentioned that it is dragging on, but I think this week's recent episode was pretty good.  It will keep me watching. 
 
I think BSG, Prison Break, Day Break, Lost, all have this quality.  But with NwM in particular, I might be inclined to say it was more than this though.  I think it was the combination of the main actor and the guest stars, the language and uniqueness they broought, the stories written, the way in which the video was filmed.  NwM just remains my favortie show. :)
