As a workaholic I confess that I had missed "24" until four months ago when we saw a couple of the early episodes of season five. We liked it so much we stopped watching and bought seasons 1-4 so we could catch up. (Jack woulda watched them at FF in succession, I know)
Since season five doesn't come out on DVD on September 25th we found a way to purchase it from itunes and legally view it.
Spoiler on season five:
I knew that Palmer was killed (poisoned?) and a couple of others....but from the above I see that Michelle is gone too. Wowzers.
It's true, I don't know Jack...but I'm trying to learn.
Funny Placemarker!
Actually, no. What is it?
"...we found a way to purchase it from itunes and legally view it."
I have Seasons 1-4 on DVD from www.foxstore.com, too.
How did you get it from iTunes? I missed a lot of 5 and would like to catch-up over the summer.
This IS General/Chat.
It didn't start out that way.

My son downloads them to his laptop...he says it takes about 15 minutes per episode to download. He uses an S-Video cable and audio cables to connect from his laptop to my receiver and, voila!
I tried to discourage him as I was sure the quality of the download on my 50" flat screen would be terrible - it was not.
I would have waited until September but my son goes back to college in August and didn't want to wait. I gave him the "jones" for "24", he is trying to interest me in "Lost".
That's all Apple/ Mac stuff... I've got a PC. Damn.
