24 is on tonight--after Prison Break--so stop beating yourself up!
The first 4 hours is for sale now. i saw it at Sam's Club last week for about $9.00. I'm sure Best Buy has it.
Welcome to 24! I didn't watch it the first year or two--it was two violent for me. Actually I hid behind the Washington Times and peeked out when the roar subsided. Sometime I'll have to watch the first two years.
Glad you didn't miss it after all.
They were selling the first 4 episodes of this season on a DVD, with some other bonus stuff starting last monday.

I would call before heading over there....I am sure I heard them say they were selling it at Best Buy also.
I agree. And sadly, I think it's obvious that such a cataclysm is now the only kind of event that can break the iron grip that political correctness now has on our society.
MM
definately not!
I was 9 1/2 when WW II started and my girlfriend and I went to the movies every Saturday. They were usually war films--my mother wouldn't allow me to see Back to Bataan--she was afraid it would be too graphic for a young girl to see. Hollywood practically cranked out one a week. I remember worrying about Japanese parachuting into the apple orchard down the street at night.
We always looked forward to seeing the News because then we could see live shots of the battles we heard about on the radio. Back then people who gave aid and comfort to the enemy were called traitors; today they are called politicians and newsmen. The Demoncrats must be proud of themselves for sounding just like Al Zawarheri (?)--they're calling for the same thing he is.
He took a bite out of crime.
TFTP! Do you have a link to the Dave Barry blog? I misplaced it.
I can still "see" the news shorts in black and white sandwiched between the cartoons and the movie feature...that radio tower with the lightening bolts...or the old fashioned movie film camera counting down the seconds in grainy B&W.
Less than fourteen minutes.....
Yes, it was written before 9/11. It came on TV either immediately before or immediately after 9/11.
I've been watching 24 since the beginning.
I read about it during the summer of 2001.
Without knowing too much what it was all about, I decided I was going to watch it because the "real time" aspect of the show intrigued me.
To leftists President Bush is the enemy so they make movies in which Bush is assasinated, that's their fantasy. To conservatives, terrorists are the enemy and it's terrorists we portray our country fighting.
Ditto.
"If we leave Iraq with tail between legs, they will follow us home. And they'll be armed..."
They're already here.
Too mean? Not when that is the only way to save your life it isn't. It made perfect sense in last week's dramatic episode.
2 things need to happen:
Jack needs to waterboard his terrorist brother.
Pres needs to send his ACLU sister to Guantanemo Bay.
David and Wayne Palmer were/are Democrats. That said, David at least was an honorable man in the mold of Harry Truman who was respectable even if you might not agree with him on policy.
A far cry from the real Democrats.
The Cain/Abel story was a stunning twist!
