The message of the writers is "OK, how can we get them to tune in next week?" If 24 follows its usual arc, the conspiracy gets bigger until it leads to . . . a European. The writers have some arcs, but often write themselves into a box.

The view of the government is actually that it tends to be slow and bureaucratic, which is why Jack always goes rogue. In fact, some of the minor villains are Jack's bosses.

I do contend that it would be a much better show if it were outspokenly right wing.

I just wish that they would release I Led 3 Lives as a boxed set of DVDs. I've only seen a few episodes:

This was a good series while it lasted. It pretty much showed what was gong on during this period in our history and the efforts to keep it in check. The left doesn't like the series because it shined a light on communist activities in the U.S. We don't track "commies" anymore because the cold war is over and they lost. Today people can be openly against the U.S. without any fear. They are in academia, the media,Hollywood, the judiciary and at all levels of local and national politics. Their still is, however, resentment among many that there is no longer a U.S.S.R. It would be great to have an updated series like this today. McCarthy was a little over-zealous in his time, but not far off the mark.

And for the RECORD, they are in color (two leftists say it was in B&W, maybe on THEIR sets).
