.....In my opinion, the best show on TV. Go Jack Bauer!

Anyone else like this show? If you've never seen it, Give it a try tonight and watch the first 30 minutes.

It's a 4 hour premier split between tonight and tomorrow. First two hours start at 8:00 on Fox.

Love this show, always find myself cursing at the ending though, can't wait. Hey a couple of others I've gotten into this year; Commander and Cheif as well as Boston Legal. Can't believe Shatner can be so entertaining! :)

My wife and I missed the second season and decided to rent it from Blockbuster one rainy weekend. We stayed in Bed, ordered food in all day and night for two days straight and watched 24. We only stopped to sleep and go to the bathroom. We still refer to that time as the most relaxing weekend ever.

I was never able to get into that show.


Probably because I've never watched it.


I was pissed off that they made a second season back in '02 after it was supposed to be a one time special thing.


It's like when they try and squeeze more money out of a great movie by making a sub par sequel. I never like the idea of doing that...

I can't believe how high your post count is dude! I just noticed it. Trailboss, beware.

I disagree with you, Marc. I'm not sure it was supposed to be a one time deal. I think Keifer signed a 24 episode contract to see how it went. Obviously it went well and he signed on for multiple seasons as star and executive producer. I don't think it was a matter of squeezing more money out....the show just took off. Anyhoo ... give it a try tonignt if you have the time, I think you'll dig it.

No, I clearly remember it being a one time deal. That was one of the novelties about the show with which they sold the concept.

But I've never gotten into TV action dramas anyway save for Rescue Me anyway. If I want exciting visuals, I watch an action movie where they have the time and budget to wow me. Factor in that I don't have enough time what between working, skiing, terrorizing and pilaging the country side, going to the gym, arts and crafts, I just can't find time to watch any scheduled shows on TV.



It's the incredible........ edible...... egg.

24 is the only show on TV I try not to miss. I got sucked in about the middle of last season and now eagerly wait each week for a new episode.

It's like a Tom Clancy novel come to life, but with young actors. Not the 200 year old Harrison Ford.

Just be glad you don't live in CA where they cut off the last 10 minutes to go to their news broadcast cause the game ran late earlier in the evening.

Yikes!

Wow, can you believe those episodes tonight?

Kim Bauer is back!!!!!!!
Edgar is dead.
Best episode of the season. The way Edgar died reminds me of when Spock died.

Edgar is assumed dead. I don't know...something going on there.

Is it me...or is the guy that plays the president...THE worst actor in history. IMHO, the only weak link on 24.

he is pretty bad. His wife isn't much better. I hope Aaron shoots him and Mike Novak becomes President. There's a guy with some stones.

this one got me to thinking quite a bit....

at first I would've said no, she's too annoying and you probably couldn't shut her up long enough to get anywhere with her. But upon closer inspection, let's look at Stuart, the guy who was mole for Alan Cummings. He worked with her. He saw her and that annoying personality on a day-to-day basis, yet he was still hitting that. Makes me wonder if she's got it going on so good, that Stuart would be willing to overlook all that is annoying about Ms. O'Brien just to get some of that. I'm thinking maybe she takes out her aggression behind closed doors. I like the sound of that. However, there has to be a point of diminishing returns with someone that volatile. What is the point that you've had enough of Chloe? It's probably different for everyone, depending upon how well and how long you can put up with her, or if you are allowed to just get up an leave once the deed is done. If it's the former, it wouldn't be long for me. If it's the latter, that could be worked for quite some time.
