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

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!

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

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

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.
To: InvisibleChurch
It's a cliff-hanger TV show which is entirely about action. The central character is a counter-terrorist agent who will do what he has to to protect America and those he cares about.
It's easily the most addicting TV show I have ever seen.

I have only watched Fox and HGTV for years.........this show caught my attention. They were running back to back shows from the first season on one of the networks and now I am hooked. You have to catch it. Worth your while.

24 is great. Try watching it a few weeks.
It was the first to go back to the old time serial movies. Many will remember the Saturday movie serial with the cliff-hanger leaving you wondering what will happen until the next Saturday. Wonderful fun.
It is also well done, moves fast, has great technology, and mainly the good guys go after the threat and Jack will fight the great battle for us. It is clean, no bad language - just a quality show that leaves you glued to the set for that hour.
In fact, the best rental movies I ever got were a prior season 24 series of tapes. So great to watch straight through four episodes and then making the trip to get the next four for the next night. This is the best way to watch it - but who can wait a whole year for the season?
24 is the fastest hour of TV watching.

I missed the original episodes and I really hate getting in on these things after they have begun. Finally, after being encouraged by my brother as to what I was missing, I decided to rent Season 1. I finished Season 1 in 4 days. (I was on vacation but this was still crazy). I raced back to the video store and rented Season 2. I'm currently watching Season 3 and I have the new season set up to record on DVR. Meanwhile I have to get and finish Season 4. Then I'll watch the recorded new season and be caught up. All of this just since Christmas. Get the picture? It's a disease, I tell ya.
If you don't want to be hooked, don't watch an episode.
Long live Jack Bauer.

Strong characters; lots of interpersonal complications between the characters; gripping premise, even while we hope nothing of the sort will ever happen; a plot line so convoluted that the writers don't even know where the next segment will take them - they literally write it mere days in advance. Tension. Enough mayhem and murder to appeal to the baser instincts. Good versus evil. What more can you ask?

What's the allure, you ask? Put it like this. If the clinton years could have been 24'd, they would have lasted about 1 year. There would not have been anyone left in the clinton administration to run anything. Bad guys get theirs in Jack Bauer's world. Sooner or later.

If you have the opportunity, Edithe buy or rent the DVD's for season 1, 2, 3, and 4. I think you'll be hooked. I just could not stop the DVD player!
The only disappointment is now having to watch every Monday night for 24 weeks and tolerate the commercials!
Also, I'm gonna miss President Palmer and Michelle.
I never thought I'd be this hooked on a TV program. I only watch Fox Beltway Boys and NFL Football! It so timely and doesn't give a crap about PC!

I don't watch too much TV, but 24 is pretty cool.
I saw it last year after returning from a trip, and same thing this year.
I actually have TIVO but the football game screwed it up and so I missed the last 10 minutes on Sunday.

Non stop action, definitive good guys and bad guys and a sneeky sleeze who I am assuming is a lib. But it doesn't matter.......
Not being a major network watcher except for Surface, which is on Fox also, 24 is the best TV I have watched in years.........

Same with me....
..but my husband and I have recently caught a few "24" episodes and we might be hooked.
The lure is quality TV...and a refreshing lack of pc.
The bad guys are bad....and the good guys are good....
..and if it's a mideast terrorist....it plays as it is!
