OK my peeps, a guy I work with insists that Lost is the best show ever. I hate Lost. I've tried and tried to get into it but the bad acting and terrible story are just not something I can get into. I love Avatar: The Last Air Bender. He gives me lots of cr*p about this even though he's never seen even a part of an episode. He says it's too kiddie. POPPYCOCK I SAY!!! So I put it to you, my public, to argue this question. If you love Lost, tell us why. If you love Avatar, express yourself! If you like both, PICK A SIDE!!!

Lost is way better. 3 reasons.

1. It's not a cartoon.

2. They're on an island.

3. Others

Neither. Avatar is a horrible attempt at child-like japanamiation and Lost is a complete rip-off of Survivor. Crappy reality tv versus crappy japanimation isn't a choice. :|

Avatar, because unlike Lost, which keeps shooting out new twists without explaining the previous ones, actually makes sense.

Once the avatar defeats the fire nation, it'll be over.... however Lost hasn't even scratch the surface on the the whole story, the island including every single character, so i choose lost.

AMEN! I've heard a lot of people say the same thing. Avatar has a grand, multi-season spanning story arc.

Honestly, I don't think Lost will ever finish anything it starts. Just IMAO. They are using an old tactic to suck viewers in but never deliver a payoff. T-E-A-S-E

The creators have an ending and know how many seasons there will be.

But how many sub-plots will be "forgotten?" What's the total character tally so far?

Hey dude, if you want a "horrible atempt at child-like japanamiation" just watch Kappa Mikey. America's worst attempt yet.
Avatar wasn't trying to copy anime (as far as I could tell), they just used lots of Asian influences - and not just Japanese.
But I can agree with what you said about Lost ;)
I love Avatar because it has brilliant animation, brilliant voice acting, brilliant plotlines, brilliant dialogue, brilliant characters and just plain awesomeness the whole way through.

AVATAR FTW!!

I hope the ending is satisfying, and many characters and plots doesnt mean bad.

Will definately say Avatar. But to be honest consider it...most people just see avatar as a cartoon thus automatically presume its childish etc etc not all but most people do. Frankly although season 3 for avatar is clearly taking the piss...seasons 1 and seasons 2 were simply breathtaking...the depth of characters and the progression of the story just makes you want to keep on watching.

Lost by no means is rubbish, far from it as you can tell by the ratings it gets and how high they are. But i do hate the way it constantly leaves u thinking...did i actually learn anything from that episode? or am i on another cliffhanger

Avatar is better.

1) It's not Lost.

2) It hasn't jumped the shark

3) It's not centered on a desert island - seriously -> how much can you do with that?

The fact that you just said that means you haven't seen Lost.:|
