Poll question: What will you be watching tonight?
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 05:29 PM by cat_girl25
Tonight is the first debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. It is also the long awaited 2-hour season premier of "Lost". If you plan to DVR one of them, which will you watch live?

1. LOST!!!!!
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 05:19 PM by Lirwin2
By the way, I'm pretty sure the first hour is only a recap. I could be wrong though.

48. Okay, apparently I was wrong.
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 07:37 PM by cat_girl25
My sis just told me that the first hour will be a narration about last season or something like that. Sorry.

2. I want to squeeze in Celebrity Apprentice and the debate
I hope they aren't coming on at the same time. Lost would have been nice too but I'm 1 or 2 seasons behind.

5. I'll be playing World of Warcraft
I had quit for a while, but I've decided that primary season is the best time to get lost in a virtual world away from the television.

7. I don't get into network television shows. I don't like the commercial interruptions.
The only commercials I like are some of the Superbowl ones, actually.

28. I don't have one of those super quick broadband connections, and I don't do TIVO.
Those corporate bastards get enough info on people as it is, and I think it's a waste of dough, actually.

And honestly? The plotline doesn't grab me. It sounds like Gilligan's Island, only with more people, and not even funny. Meh!

8. I have to watch Lost.
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 05:23 PM by Kristi1696
I promised my SO.

I'll be recording the debate. Sigh, I wish Lost weren't tonight. There was a debate party I wanted to go to as well.

Ugh. Maybe I can make one last push to tape Lost.

9. No contest. Lost.
I prefer to get details of the debate via rabid Hillary and Obama supporters afterwards.

Much more entertaining.

26. I don't watch much tv either.
But my sister, who lives with me, kept wondering why I don't watch Lost. She kept badgering me until I started watching it, now I'm kinda hooked. I'm not a fanatic though. If it wasn't the season premiere, I'd just DVR it.

38. There are times
when boxing is violent, indeed. Can't deny that. It's true of all sports, I suppose.

There's an old saying: I like boxers, and dislike the sport. I feel that way, sometimes.

27. I started a new game of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on my XBox 360.
I'd rather play through that whole game again than watch another Obama/Clinton schoolyard fight.

39. BOTH..
Watch LOST Live, will DVR the debate so I can go back and cut and pause all of the dirty looks and anti-hand shakes they give each other tonight so that can really help me determine who to vote for.

Na.. Obama can give Hillary stink-eye all night, i'm still voting for him.

45. I don't have cable or satellite
by my choice, but I do get LOST the old fashion, airwaves, and I don't get the debates. I guess I could stream it on CNN, hmmmmmm, nope it's LOST. For all of you who don't know about lost try this out. Go to http://www.ctv.ca/programs and click on LOST 8:15 for an 8 minute, fifteen second recap of the entire series.
