All hope is lost...

It's official, 24 is better than Lost. For the first three years of the show, there wasn't another show on TV that rivaled it. THen, last year, along came Lost. And for a solid year, many people jumped ship, actually believing that Lost was the better show. And you know what, I was one of them. And really, for that year, it might have been. Lost was crazy last year. But then something happened.

Monday night. 24. Two hours. Pure insanity. Pure brilliance. 24 is back hard. Back in a way it hasn't been since the first season. Couple that with Lost's insanity, aka their refusal to air more than like 2 episodes out a time without taking a break, and 24 is the top dog once again.

But this is less about 24 and more about Lost. Why the hell can't they show a few episodes in a row anymore? I can't give up on this show because the mystery is too great, and I need to know what happens in the end, but I'm passed the point of really aggitated. You don't have to give me answers al the time, but at least give me new episodes.

Once again last night, the show was a repeat, just as it was three weeks ago. Two repeats sandwiched around one new episode. That's a pace I can't possibly live with. Thank God there's plenty of College Basketball on now to keep me occupied. For 2.5 horus last night ESPN turned into espNJ. Rutgers-Seton Hall on one channel, and Fairleigh Dickinson-Monmouth on another. It was glorious. Even better was the fact that Rutgers & Monmouth both won. For Rutgers, it wsa a win for pride. Unless they win the BIg East Championship, this team isn't going to the ncaa tourney. But still, they beat their biggest rival in a game their rival absolutely needed to win. As for Monmouth, they're going dancing baby! On to the tournament. Good for them, congratulations.
