Hey... I just noticed this on DVDTOWN news -
> LOST Seasons 1/2/3 - Amazon $79.95 Sale! - all three complete seasons for a low price, and free shipping. So (hehe), I guess everyone suggests I should now take the plunge here - and purchase?

Hendrix,
Yeah. Just go ahead and BUY all three seasons you have pictured there.(you will thank me later) and then try saying the word "soap".
Ironbull,
I'm with you man. I want to talk about this show so bad, but I also dont want to ruin it for anybody. Maybe we need to start a thread for "grown ups"

Well... I just watched some clips on imdb.com etc, and still am not impressed - sorry (my loss I know). Some great scenery sure, but also a lot of small group conversations (and constant discussions), plus how much story variation can be done over one season, then another season, etc. Note: I'm aware of "The Others" storyline too, big deal. All of these characters are still "lost" on an island, and well at this time I'm not interested in viewing.
And I kept thinking... do they ever wash their clothes? body odor? ...etc. -looks to much like a 'soap', and I just don't have the time to watch over 3000 minutes(!) for these 3 seasons. I'll wait for the Season 4 reviews, once the Blu-ray is released this winter, and perhaps rent just -that- season.

Watch the entire pilot episode then judge! Clips of conversations? doesn't hook you. The story is never dull nor does revolve around just talking. The little hidden secrets in every scene.... Things that show up on the island....... rock solid show!
Spoiler Warning!
hear is a scene from the "boring" season 3

Give it a chance Hendrix, like I did, and I wasn't that impress, is not my thing, but give it a chance.
The character development is really good, though the whole 'lost' thing gets tiring...

Hendrix,
Lemme tell ya: some of the things you're concerned about (BO, clothes) are addressed. Not as major story points, but in the background or innocuous actions during a conversation. It's a soap in the same way Babylon 5 is a soap, or Deep Space Nine or Sports Night. Yes, there is a continuing story from week to week with romantic entanglements, but the mystery of the island and what the hell is going on overshadows all of that.
Interesting characters, the aforementioned gorgeous Elizabeth Mitchell, the wonderfully creepy Michael Emerson, the intensity of Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje...not to mention enough guest stars to fill three other shows (Billy Dee Williams, Mira Furlan, Sonya Walger, Clancy Brown, Katey Segal, Cheech Marin)
What I'd give to be able to relive the show completely unspoiled like you would be able to...
Fantastic television. And with the show not coming back until early 2009, you have PLENTY of time to catch up before the new season starts!
Jason, "bad" Lost is better than 99% of the crap on TV
PS-I'd be down for an ongoing LOST discussion, spoilers and all.

Jason... you make it sound really enticing... 
and I guess I could buy it now, make a little time to start watching, see if I get 'hooked' as others have said... and if really disappointed I could easily re-sell the discs on Amazon and get most of money back (as I've sold DVD/CDs etc on their site many times before). Hmmm...
By the way, that YouTube clip to the "black smoke monster"... I kept thinking about the 'demons' at the end of Ghost, and also Spielberg's War of the Worlds... (hehe). And the quick editing, another JJ Abrams trademark (M:I 3)
I'm still thinking about buying... and would sell the Season 3 so I could watch (rent) it instead on the Blu-ray edition later (or buy if they have a 1-day sale again). I'm just fretting over the time factor, since I rent movies often and also watch sports etc on TV. Pondering...

Once you start the ball rolling you won't care about movies for a while........ you will want to know more....
example: did you notice in the clip that they were handcuffed together yet one had a key?..... why does smoke make machine, growling and clicking noises? Every detail even minor ones are on purpose.

OK... with Tim, Jason, Ironbull, bladerunner, etc highly recommending a purchase of this 3-season set (on sale) to a 'newbie' like myself, I took the time to read the DVDTOWN Reviews of Season 1 and also Season 2 (couldn't locate a Season 3 review, no big deal). UPDATE: found the review to Season 3, as I myself had it linked in the 2nd post of this thread! 
(oops!)
So a few minutes ago, I made the purchase thru the DVDTOWN special $79.95 sale link (top of Page 3 of this thread). And now I'm ready, and should receive within a few weeks (free 'super-saver' shipping deal) to get into LOST... hehe.
I'll report back later with comments (brief) from my observations. All I know about this show is thru a few brief clips and reviews, and that apparently there's a big mystery to be revealed eventually when the final season ends..(?) as to why everything happened (etc). Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and I look forward to start watching soon.
