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?
1Definitely Lost.
2LOST - so unique and with such hot ppl, blows the others away!
3LOST! Gotta love Matthew Fox
4ALIAS and Felicity!
them!
5I 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!
6Lost is my favorite show on TV
7Lost is my favorite show of all time! I LOVE it!
8I've only watched Lost.
Looking forward to seeing what Fringe is about.
9I 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!
10I love his romantic-themed series SO much better than his action/mystery series.
11I have never seen 1 second of any of these shows. What about a none option?
12The only one I ever watched was Six Degrees - which I miss horribly
13I loved What About Brian... so sad that it is gone.
14Felicity. It was SO sad and SO good. I bought the DVD's and only watch them when I need to cry HARD.
15That was one of the harder poll questions!!
16I love Lost and Alias but I vote for Alias
17This poll makes me miss Sydney, Vaughn and Sark even more. Argh. Haha.
Felicity's my third placer.
Lost is my favorite show of ALL TIME!!!!
18I lOOOved Felicity...and cant wait for Fringe 2nite...hope its good.
Lost all the way! Favourite characters are Hurley, Sawyer and Sayid.
19Aww 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.
20Alias for sure. I have all the DVDs and can still bust them out randomly and completely enjoy revisiting them.
21I would have voted for Alias, except that it fell apart. I voted for Lost because its still going strong.
22Felicity 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.
23i have to say that Felicity was my favorite but i like the short lived what about brian too! i miss felicity - but at least we get to see keri russell on the big screen
24Felicity was great, but you just can't beat LOST! I'm very excited about tonight's premiere
.
25Alias 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.
26Hummm 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!
27I liked What About Brian.
28Oh I love Alias! I didn't watch it when it was on air, but I am netflixing my way through it right now
jacrabbit84, I've thought about biting the bullet and just buying the seasons b/c I love the show so much
Do you think it is worth it?
29Alias
30This 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.
31Alias, but I also loved Six Degrees, it had so much potential, I think, to become a great show.
32I 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.
33i can't choose between felicity, lost, and alias. i love abrams' stuff but i wasn't too impressed with fringe tonight, though i'll have to admit that i clapped and cheered when pacey came on screen. *sigh*
34Alias, though I have not watched much of it
35If 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.
36I 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.
37Lost!
38ALIAS
39Without 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.
40I loved Alias in high school! I remember in when it was on Sundays and every Monday morning in home room my bff and I would sit and disect the episode in detail. Oh those were the days!
41Alias 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.
42Alias 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.
43Felicity
44Le Etiana, ITA! Once JJ abandons something, the show seems to go kaput. Although Lost is picking up steam again...
45Lost - great show I hope they don't ruin it in the end
