should I buy season one of 24 or Lost

OH btw, if you want a very excellent show to watch is HBO's The Wire. I love HBO shows like Deadwood, Sopranos and Six Feet Under, but I never heard of this show recently, and I _got hooked_! I'm amazed its not more known, despite its plentiful amount of critical acclaim.

One of the best cop shows I've ever seen. The acting is so good and the writing even better. You'll both hate and love the cops and the criminals. The best part is that it takes a whole season just to finish one investigation, so there's a truly epic feel to show. Much like reading a good novel that explores characters and plot nuances that a 1 hour show can't, instead The Wire spreads it out over 12 to 13 hours. Watch all 3 seasons, I highly recommend it. Fourth season is going to show soon on HBO.

Another contender: Battlestar Galactica

Just forget everything you ever knew about the old show, this show is awesome

Lost is not way better than 24, I watch them both and they are both very good, but they are completely different, 24 moves at the speed of light and Lost, not so much.

Both have twists and turns and share an affinity for killing off characters.

One thing about Lost. No matter how good it is and how much you enjoy it the entire show depends on the final episode, which may or may not happen for another 3 years. My point being, if the ending sucks the entire show will have been a waste, and you all will want to hunt down someone and murder them.

24 on the other hand has an ending for every season and so far every ending has been superb. And of further note, 24 seems to have a great ending/conclusion for darn near every single one hour episode.

It's all about 24. You have to get season 1 of 24.

Anyone know the best and cheapest place to buy 24 seasons 1-4? I'm guessing it's normally roughly around $50 per season.
