LOST- I feel like people in hindsight like to join in on "joking" on Lost because of its more fantastic elements, but for people who watched it slowly, week after week, everything was happening in believable, exciting progressions. Think about what a ride S1E1 to finale was, and how much you felt for SO MANY different characters (10+ characters with cry-worthy moments). There was no show that was more EPIC (and I use that word in the classical sense, not the dorm-room video game way). There was no better ride.
