Tonight marks the end of a television era: 24 airs its eighth season finale. The impact of the show on the country has been profound; in the way subjects on the show have been brought into the public spectrum and how Jack Bauer, the protagonist, has become an icon – the man that will do anything to stop evil. While many mourn the loss of Law and Order or Lost, 24 has had a greater impact on America in our post-9/11 era.

I will genuinely miss “24”.
It is my Monday night vice to be glued to it.
Like NASCAR, Indy 500, and the Triple Crown, friends know NOT to call me on Monday nights.
Hate to say it, but...I stopped watching 24 about 48 hours back...
LOL!
I stopped watching 24 about 48 hours back...
Yeah, RIGHT!
for those of you on EST, what’s happened so far?
Great show tonight...just ended....wiping tears.
no spoiler for me? ;)
I had been watching it for years but decided to sit out this season. Too much political correctness for me in the previous season, what with their “public service” announcements done by cast members, and having that slut Garofolo on was more than I could take.
I only started watching this last year. I was a satisfactory ending for me. Jack didn’t die. Chloe’s back in charge. Left the audience wanting to see more (the movie) but not in a cliff hanger way.
I am glad he will at least be making movies too....
At least two. :) First script is already done.
