What is it about '24' that keep me glued to it? It can't be that I think Kiefer is a great actor....it can't be that the plot is not predictable....it can't be that Chloe is attractive is a nerdy sorta way....It can't be that the corny music keeps me in beat with the show.

I have yet to find out what it is, but for 4 seasons I have been glued to my television on "24 night" as my wife likes to put it. Anyone else in the same boat?

As illogical as the plots keep getting, I know I'll always be back the next week to see what happens to Bauer and Co.

Did you buy the DVD season sets yet?

It should be coming out on HD DVD not too far in the future too.

If you stop watching, Jack Bauer will hunt you down, demand to know who you're working for and then shoot you in the leg.

I had never seen it up to this point...other than a few episodes here or there. Well, I was taking care of my next door neighbors cat while he was away for a week, and I see he has season 1 through 4 on DVD...and I borrowed them. I spent most of Saturday and all of Sunday watching the first season. I am so hooked now, I'm afraid to start watching season 2 because I'll have to sit there and watch them all...

:eek:

By the later episodes of the season, I was so hoping Palmers wife would have answered that cell phone...the exploding one.

i usually get sick of just watching one show , so i record three weeks of it and watch them in a row, so much better than 1 show at a time

I had never seen the show until the start of season 5. A couple months ago I went out and got seasons 1-4. I think I watched all of them in about 3 weeks.

Agreed. I would have gone crazy watching season one if I had to wait a week in between episodes. It's nice watching a couple episodes, then just putting the next DVD in and watching a couple more..

This has got to be the worst show on television. The only reason I watch it is so I can make fun of it. They repeat the same 5 phrases over and over.

DAMNIT!
I need you to do this for me.
WHERE IS XXXXXX!
WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR!
I need you to open a socket.

Complete garbage.

Maybe I should "keep you up to speed" by "uploading the building schematics to my PDA"....if so, I am "15 minutes out". See you at CTU for further interrogations.
