What's Your Favorite JJ Abrams Series?

Tonight's premiere of Fringe got me thinking about creator/executive producer JJ Abrams and his pretty stellar track record on television.

In the past decade, Abrams has created or co-created four shows (Felicity, Alias, Lost, and now Fringe) and executive-produced two others (Six Degrees and What About Brian). Many of those shows had ratings success and/or significant buzz, and all of them (well, except maybe Six Degrees) had vocal fan followings. While we wait to see how Fringe will stack up, which is your favorite of Abrams's series so far?

    omg Alias of course! I like Lost but it's so ridiculously convoluted now it annoys me but I still watch it. What's the new one Fringe about?

    I actually love preety much every show he did: Felicity was my companion during high school years, Alias was great during my pre-college period, I´ve discovered What About Brian during re-runs and loved it, and of course I´m crazy about Lost!

    I was OBSESSED with Felicity in high school. I never got into Alias and I tried to get into Lost, but I was never home when it was on. Kudos to JJ for having such a great, varied resume!

    I love his romantic-themed series SO much better than his action/mystery series.

    I have never seen 1 second of any of these shows. What about a none option?

    Aww so little love for Six Degrees. I really got into that show and I was seriously bummed - but not surprised - when it got yanked. I loved Alias but toward the end it started getting ridiculous and I stopped watching. I've only seen a couple eps of Felicity and I've never seen What About Brian. Lost is easily my favorite of the group.

    Alias for sure. I have all the DVDs and can still bust them out randomly and completely enjoy revisiting them.

    I would have voted for Alias, except that it fell apart. I voted for Lost because its still going strong.

    Felicity was good! But I voted for Six Degrees because I think that show was terribly underrated! It was interesting...wish more people gave it a chance. Sad

    Alias all the way. I watched the first half season of Lost but quickly lost interest. I have a feeling that I'll like Fringe though.

    Hummm Let me guess.... FELICITY is my all-time favorite. If I could own one complete show on DVD that would be it. Alias is a very close second though. Jennifer Garner is my celeb bff! Viva la JJ!

    Oh I love Alias! I didn't watch it when it was on air, but I am netflixing my way through it right now Smiling

    jacrabbit84, I've thought about biting the bullet and just buying the seasons b/c I love the show so much Smiling Do you think it is worth it?

    This was tough. I went back and forth between Felicity, Lost and Alias. Those are definitely some of my faves but decided on Felicity as I felt like I could identify more with her character and it was more applicable with my every day life. Although I would like to have the ability to kick ass like Jennifer Garner or be able to make out with Matthew Fox and Josh Holloway.

    Alias, but I also loved Six Degrees, it had so much potential, I think, to become a great show.

    I was in college when Felicity showed so I could really relate to the show a lot. I loved Alias too though, as well as What About Brian, and of course Lost.

    If you haven't watched, why are you taking the poll? I never watched Felicity but will at some point. The Alias pilot was a wonder. I still wish the network hadn't made JJ drop the cliffhangers. The Fringe pilot was a lot of fun, I hope they can keep it up.

    I have to go with Lost, even though I'm not as enamored with the Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle as everyone else seems to be. I was more of a Charlie/Claire fan and they got NO screentime. Anyway, Alias is a close second for me, only because it started going downhill fast after season 2. Overall, it was still good though.

    Without a doubt, its alias. Regardless of how messed up it got because of the network telling them to change the formula and get rid of Rambaldi and because they didn't have the story plotted out from start to finish (inconsistent storylines and rewriting history, the characters of Sydney, Vaughn and Jack and their relationships over the course of the 5 seasons were beautiful to me. Lost has much greater and consistent storytelling because the network allowed them more control becuase they had the ratings that Alias did not. But Lost has SOOOOO many characters that you have a hard time getting invested in them like you did the ones on Alias.

    I rewatch all my alias DVDs every summer when the shows are all on reruns.

    So yeah, I voted Alias but Lost is up there. One has characters I loved more, the other has far superior story telling. Its kinda unfair to ask me to pick between the two. Sad

    Alias without a doubt!!! JJ Abrams does have a knack for creating amazing shows but I get tired of his penchant for starting a series than dumping it. I'll never forgive him for ruining Alias once he started working on Lost and now Lost has suffered because he moved onto somethng else. He needs to learn to finish what he starts.

    Alias absolutely. I have all the DVDs and watch them when I work out. I've watched Lost from the beginning, but I'm just doing it now out of obligation. I, too, was upset at JJ when he abandoned Alias for Lost, but of course I watched both at the same time.

    Le Etiana, ITA! Once JJ abandons something, the show seems to go kaput. Although Lost is picking up steam again...
