What's the allure?

Edge of your seat suspense.

So what's the deal with 24? I've not seen it, but I rarely watch any top 40 tv. What's the allure?

24 is extremely fast-paced and they do some original camera work that creates a reality feel. It's by far the fastest hour on TV. If you missed the first two episodes, then you're 4 hours behind.

I had never seen it before Sunday night. It was the fastest 2 hours I've had. Monday was the same. I'm hooked now!

I heard somewhere that Nielsen uses 100,000 households to determine its ratings. Anyone know if that's true? If it is true, it may explain a lot.

Jack Bauer rules!

Agreed. 24 is a great show!

Oh man where to begin. Story of a Counter Terrorist Unit agent named Jack Bauer whowill torchure and kill anyone and anything that gets in his way of saving the President or his country. If you love seeing terrorists killed for any and all reasons without Democraps demanding debates, then 24 is your show! Season 2 and 4 so far are the best of the lot! Go rent them!

It wasn't hers. Remember, she was watching it for Chase.

Yeah!!! Jack is back!!! Kinda of worried there after last season. It wouldn't be the same without Jack.

It's an old fashioned cliffhanger. The premise is that the whole 24 episode season comprises a single day in the life af a super anti-terrorist agent, with each 1 hour episode being 1 hour of that day.

Go out and rent the first season. Watch the episodes in a marathon like format over a 3 day weekend.

You will be hooked.

[kcrackel]

24 is the best show on tv!

[surelyclintonsbaddream]

I am not sure, I just know I am hooked.
We don't watch it during the season but wait until it comes out on DVD then watch it all at once.
I am so hooked on it, I couldn't watch it for an hour and wait a week.

So what's the deal with 24?

I don't watch much TV either but 24 is like watching a good Tom Clancy novel. It's addicting.

I watch it for the first time last night. I was up until past 12 trying to fall asleep.

[L,TOWM]

Did you get a chance to watch any of the first four hours?

[Ramcat]

I must have missed that show.
Thanks.

[KillTime]

The first two hours of 24 had me pacing the floor countless times! Man, that was a good show. Even my fav show Lost doesn't have me pacing like 24 did.
