I don't like Lost, there, I said it. I watched the first episode, I've watched a few other tidbits here and there and I've heard about it continually from the hordes of Lost followers. When I mention I'm not a fan of the show I immediately get grilled. "How can you not like Lost?!?!?" After explaining that I've watched a bit and never quite understood the hype I often get "You can't base your opinion after a few episodes, you have to watch at least ____".
After this season there will be 150+ episodes? Can someone explain to me why I have to watch 150 episodes before I'm allowed to form an opinion of the show? Whatever happened to TV show's being one offs? You know, you've got 30-60mins to kill and you're able to sit down and watch a show. Why do they have to be these series that take hours of dedication?

They don't have to be series that take hours of dedication. There are tons of shows that are easily digestible 42 minute mini movies. Lost isn't one of them.
It obviously doesn't work for you and there's a lot of people that don't like the series. If you don't feel it's worth the time to learn about the series that's fine. However you really can't judge the show adequately by watching one show with no context 5 years into its run. It's just not one of those shows.
