Only one of these I have the theme tune for on my iPod. Used to watch it before heading off to Roots Hall, it was on after Saint and Greavsie on a Saturday.

Great memories. I once saw Erik Estrada turn up in a soft-core porn film (do Channel 5 still show these beauties?), luckily he kept his strides on.

CHiPs
CHiPs is an American television drama series produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (now owned by Turner Entertainment) that originally aired on NBC from September 15, 1977 to June 17, 1983. CHiPs followed the lives of two motorcycle police officers of the California Highway Patrol. The series ran for 139 episodes over six seasons.
A light-weight action crime drama (that played as more of a comedy in some episodes, particularly in the first season) created by Rick Rosner, it starred Erik Estrada as macho, rambunctious Officer Francis ("Frank") "Ponch" Poncherello and Larry Wilcox as his strait-laced partner, Officer Jonathan "Jon" Baker. With Ponch the more trouble-prone of the pair, and Jon generally the more level-headed one trying to keep him out of trouble with the duo's gruff yet fatherly commanding officer Sergeant Joseph Getraer (Robert Pine), the two were Highway Patrolmen of the Central Los Angeles office of the California Highway Patrol (CHP, hence the name "CHiPs").

Lost
Lost is an American serial drama television series. It follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles, United States, crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character's life, though other time-related plot devices change this formula in later episodes. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004,[1] and since then five full seasons have aired. The show airs on the ABC Network in the United States, as well as on regional networks in many other countries.
Due to its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii,[2] the series is one of the most expensive on television.[3] It was created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber and is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions. The score is composed by Michael Giacchino. The current executive producers are Lindelof, Abrams, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender, Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz and Carlton Cuse.
Critically acclaimed and a popular success, Lost garnered an average of 16 million viewers per episode on ABC during its first year. It has won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2005,[4] Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series

I really liked Lost when it started, but it just got so ridiculous I gave up after the second series, and heard that it just when more and more unneccessarily complex after that.
I vaguely remember seeing CHiPs whilst a kid in the 80's, I'll vote for that.

CHiPs all day long. What fantastic memories it evokes. A plate of sandwiches and a lemon curd tart for tea while watching Saturday afternoon telly aged about 6 - if only life could stay as simple as that.
I once drove my batman motorbike down the stairs and straight into the plate glassed window trying to emulate the great Poncharello himself. Despite smashing the the floor to ceiling glass to smithereens and sending my mother apoplectic with fear I emerged without a scratch on me. I had clearly learned from a master craftsman.
Lost on the other hand.....what the **** is that all about? Even the writers don't know what's going on any more. It disappeared up it's own anus about 20 episodes ago.

Lost was really, really stupid. Could have been quite good if they'd just stuck to the basic idea of having people on a desert island. Drugs are bad, m'okay?
Chips, on the other hand, was ****ing class.

I've opted for Lost in the faint hope that all will be revealed in the final series.
Apart from which I'd really like to smash Erik Estrada with a baseball bat.
