No, really, they're too damn different.

Chuck is a comedic spy show, Lost is a serious sci-fi serial.
I love both but they are too different to compare.

Interestingly, the creators have said that while they plan to definitively end the SERIES at the end of the season, they welcome and look forward to all the other projects they see coming from the 'LOST Universe'

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

I think Chuck is one of my favourite shows currently on TV. LOST is one of my favourite shows OF ALL TIME. I do agree that it's very hard to compare the two because they have very different aims.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

I assume you are asking which show I like more, in which case Lost is the clear winner. I'm very intrigued as to where Lost will end up, while I simply enjoy watching Chuck when it's on TV.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

like already said Lost will go down as one of the greatest shows of all time, Chuck on the other hand...

Lost is the only show i've ever watched every season 4 times over

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

It's not hard to compare, imagine both are on at the same time on the same day. You can't use a DVR. Which one do you watch?

I really like Chuck this season but Lost is amazing.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

This is not fair for Chuck. I don't even watch that show but still no fair to compare it to Lost.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

I thought Lost was canceled three years ago. That was just a hiatus? Oh well, didn't really miss it... Chuck rules!!!

Exactly. Chuck is an awesome show, definitely in my top 5, but Lost is on a whole other level.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

Can't really compare them, but LOST went from great to ok to mediocre to dumb since the premiere. Chuck has at least maintained quality (and actually somewhat improved) over a shorter run.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

I like both shows, but they couldn't be more different. LOST is an active show. Chuck is a passive show.

When I watch LOST, I need to make sure I'm not multi-tasking I'm fully committed to watching. The more I pay attention to every little detail, the more I enjoy it.

When I watch Chuck, I pretty much need to turn off my brain and just watch. The more I pay attention to every little detail, the less I enjoy it.

This is Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinks. The poll should be Lost vs any other show ever made

Seasons 2&3 are the low points. Season 4 is pretty good, but Season 5 is when the show gets great again.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

I thought it picked up fine in the second half of S3

Season 2 was awful.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

Both are awesome shows...If they were on at the same exact time...I would probably watch Lost since I know more people that watch it and there is a greater chance of someone spoiling something for me...

Without a doubt, Chuck. Lost is just so boring.

Season 3 was a disaster, all the shows were fillers with nothing happening, random new people on the island we had never seen before and Jack's tattoos, a whole show about saving Ecko's life and then killing him off the very next one, after that, I just couldn't take anymore crap. I quit. Some have told me "it gets better" but I refuse to watch crap until it gets better... When a show is content to deliver mediocre quality just because they have good ratings and try to keep the sh0ow going for as long as they can while not delivering any quality, it's time to let the sucker go. That bullshit season 3 is when half the fanbase started giving up on the show as well.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

Lost getting better seemed to coincide perfectly with the decision to make season 6 the final season. Season 2 seemed like they were just making up shit as they went along and the first half of season 3 made it seem like they were stretching things out because they didn't know how many more episodes they had to tell the story.

Re: Which is better Chuck or Lost?

Through, I agreed that you cannot compare Chuck with Lost - I don't really want to hijack it, but wanted to say something...

That's pretty weird - I also just started Lost via Netflix (I'm on last episode of S2). I thought Lost is just a meh - all main characters sucks (except for Mr. Ecko) and storyline are too predictable.

I guess I'll wait till S4 - S5 to see if the show really turned around...
