Watched first season and first 2 eps of 2nd season. Took a bit of time getting through the initial complexity but I am hooked.

I watched both episodes. This writer has it correct. And he’s correct in his reaction. Jack Bauer is an American icon like George Bailey. Messing with that can be demoralizing. What Hollywood is in for is a reality check. No one will watch this hijacked crap.

I don’t know if you ever saw it, but when she was quite young she was in a kids’ show called “Popular Science for Kids”.

She was absolutely adorable: clever, interested, and willing to try anything, even if she was a bit leery of something at first.

I used to catch the stepsons looking at her with ‘that look’, too. It made me smile.

Dick Wolf always seemed to produce very polished shows. I still watch many of the reruns.

However, the NCIS series is far superior & is far more Patriotic. Besides-—Mark Harmon & Scott Bakula.....Both are very attractive men. I am old enough to remember both in earlier movies & shows, and they both have aged nicely. Lucas Black would have gotten my 35-45 years of attention.

Played by a Canadian.

“But then to portray a White Army Ranger hero willing to sellout his country to terrorists for cash ..”

Yes. Disgusting. But also completely void of reality. Stupidity. The show is a complete waste of time. To say the least

I absolutely remember her in Popular Mechanics for Kids, but I don’t talk about that, because I come off as kinda pervy.

My favorite episode had her at a lava vent in Hawaii.

To call her cute as a bug back then is an understatement.

Pretty sure she had rhinoplasty after that. Her nose changed.

Also, upon entering Hollywood proper she was used, abused, and cast aside by a series of powerful men. She turned from a sweet, innocent girl to jaded woman really quick, which is sad.

In and of its own, it’s just a TV show. But if you haven’t noticed, we’re in the middle of a hot cultural war.

“They” understand it, and most of us do too.

If you have not seen the series “Sleeper Cell”, you might like it. Also, Salamander is good but subtitled. “Occupied” was also exciting. “Day Break” was another one to check out.

IF or WHEN a Muslim Jihadist or Jihadists launch another
attack, (I do not “hope” they do; but I’m a realist.) -
we will need to scream & holler & pitch a hissy fit of our
own. IF President Trump chooses to indulge in an act of
“civil disobedience” in answer to this activist “judge”
bully, I will support Trump.

I’m rewatching my favorite episodes from the original 24 on Mondays instead of watching the new show. No Jack = No 24.

Yeah, all I WANT to remember is how adorable she was as a child. Her descent into the Hollywierd vortex of evil is a sad thing to witness.

Sure, it’s hard to believe that the industry that brought us virile superhunk Michael Cera and sexy ultrahottie Lena Dunham could make bad decisions

ha ha ha...

Notice the advertisements on TV, the white guy is usually depicted as a schmuck.

you’re just noticing this now...?

Gerald McRaney was hired just last month to replace (I think) Veronica Cartwright, playing Jimmy Smits’ mother

Gerald as anybody’s mother is kind of a hard sell...

So was Captain James T Kirk. The trouble with Canadians is they blend right in.
