24 is the second best tv show on next the The Shield. Speaking of The Shield

it has a nice little scene were Vic beats the hell out of some guy with a book and then holds his face on an electric stove burner. Quite nasty.
Funny, I happened to see that Shield last night(thank God for TIVO) Man, what a freakin great show that was. I mean, for a basic cable channel to air a show as gory as that , is amazing. Having said that I also think that episode may have been the greatest TV program ever to air. The producers really have made the tension on this show almost unbearable to watch. Damn good for television if you ask me.
Oh, and btw Vic beats the guy ,and beats the guy, and beats the guy,so bad that blood sprays all over his(Vic's) face and then he cooks his face on the electric stove. But after a few seconds of agony, he pulls him off and asks himm a question. When no answer spews forth, he puts it back on the grill! Then they finally restrain him and the guy slumps to the floor. Cut to a closeup of the dude missing all of his front teeth and a nice looking ring of burns swelling up on the side of his face. Nasty as hell.
One more thing, if Michael Chiklis doesn't win the Emmy for best actor again this year, then something is definitely wrong.
