LOST was the greatest T.V. series ever

"well to be grammatically correct I inserted the word was in the resolution because the show has reached and completed it's final season" Wrong: to be grammatically correct the word 'was' has to be changed to is, since you are talking about a completed television series you intended to say that it is the greatest Tv series ever. You didn't want to imply that it had fame and now doesn't anymore but it has fame and will still continue to be better than all other Tv series ever made which is impossible since a majority of people who watched a series and called it the greatest cannot watch Lost and compare it to their Tv series. Furthermore you didn't present evidence that many people watch lost you simply stated why it is great you have not proven that in other countries Lost is the greatest ever. In the resolution you did not specify location so people in Antartica might disagree with you ( I think house had an episode involving the south pole). You have the burden of proof instigator/pro; furthermore my opponent has accepted my definitions. House Is not the best Tv series everywhere it is very popular but with recent episodes popularity has gone down. Although they did get rid of the supporting actors that isn't a very big deal it was new and exciting. When he had to hire new fellows there was a process which turned into several episodes that were very good (they treated osama you know) so without the cast the show did prosper and when house got new fellows the popularity of the show did not change the same people that watched house still do. And while the show is dependent on the main actor a supporting actor did kill himself. I assume that the person who died was an supporting actor. "House is an American medical drama that has been airing on FOX since September 22, 2004. It has been nominated for a large number of awards, surpassing 100 total nominations in January 2010. These include: 20 Primetime Emmy Awards (four wins), 9 NAACP Image Awards (two wins), 9 Teen Choice Awards (one win), 8 Golden Globe Awards (two wins), 7 Satellite Awards (five wins), 7 TCA Awards (two wins), 6 Screen Actors Guild Awards (two wins), 4 Humanitas Prizes (one win), 4 People's Choice Awards (three wins), an AFI Award, BAFTA TV Award and a Peabody Award." http://en.wikipedia.org... I mentioned before about my oppoents criteria to a great-est Tv series ever was 1 that it should be planned from the beginning, 2 that it should make references to the real world, and 3 the number of awards. This criteria for choosing the greatest is completely arbitrary and doesn't actually emphasize on the content of lost why the show is so popular that it is the greatest ever ( which my opponent is arguing and it's a violation of his resolution) House makes references to the real world in the show as well and I have to say that they aren't really "real worldly" references more like classical references john locke the philosopher who is now dead is not real world so lost fails your criteria. House makes refernces to the real world in via talk and props and who he is (an addict) a reference to the real world. so already House has filled to of YOUR criteria for being greatest ever. conclusion: My opponent has violated his resolution. I have proven how Lost only fulfills two of my opponents arbitrary criteria and so does House so since it's a tie the win should go to me, because my opponent (in his argument that violated his resolution) had to prove that Lost is greater than house which he has not done. vote con. good luck!
