If you watch Kiefer Sutherland and "24," you learn to handle 60 minutes of tension, heartbreak and deception each week. And that's just between the characters of the president and the first lady.
But although fans love it, even the most ardent learn to overlook a lot regarding plot devices and characters.
Example: Jack Bauer, toughest guy on the planet and lead terrorist hunter, who can withstand torture, gunshots, drugs and severe mental anguish, found a pretty cool job for his annoying daughter, Kim.
After her stint as a runaway and a troubled teen in season one, she became an agent at the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU).
Kim, whose previous claim to heroic fame was escaping a wildcat while lost in the mountains of southern California, was now among the elite specialists who would save the lives of everyday Americans should the very worst take place. God help us.

William Holden
They even sound the same. Spooky's right.
But I'd trade ANY of the R's running in that district for the horrid, smarmy Filner (D) we're stuck with down here.
Edgar is missed by everyone...
Yes you are right. I always get William Holden and Gregory Peck confused. Peck was very liberal for his time. That always bothered me because "To kill a mockingbird" is one of my favorite movies.
I remember seeing an interview with Peck, probably one of his last, and he said, "I was a card carrying member of the ACLU." Barf!
Watched the first 4 episodes of Season One tonight. It's as good as advertised here. Ordering Season Two already and I still have 20 episodes to go in Season One!
Glad that you enjoy it. Jump on the live thread on Monday
OMG I just rented season one and I get exhausted watching them back to back!
