>> Good comeback. 24 is as good a drama as the Spiderman movie or 300.

And far superior to Gilligan’s Island.

The point wasn’t that those are great dramas ... but that plausibility isn’t a necessity for a good movie or TV show.

But, you liked Gilligan’s Island ... so you already know this.

>> BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laugh it up, professor.

Actually Mr Rogers hasn't given 24 much thought at all so I disagree with him that he's a "thinking person".

24 is the first "real time" show on TV. That in itself presents problems with keeping a story going for 24 hours and keeping it interesting.

Secondly, Mr Rogers saw part of season 1. No show is stellar in it's debut season. Judging season 2 through 6 based on that does not indicate a "thinking person" as each season has been different and a self-contained story. It is not classic serial or episodic TV.

Hence, Mr Rogers opinion isn't based on much evidence and carries little weight.
