24
Hey, I just want to know if anyone watches the show "24"? I recently bought the season 1 DVD because it was/is on a crazy cheap sale for
only $28.99, even thought I knew nothing about the show and just wanted something new to watch. My girlfriend and I started to watch it and were
instantly hooked. I've got to say, I don't watch many TV shows, but this has to be the best one I have ever seen. I never thought the idea
would work, but it does. I love everything about it.
If you do post, please don't mention anything about season 2, because we've only watched the first 4 hours so far. And if you
haven't seen the show, start watching it and buy the season 1 DVD. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.

You know, I have to be honest, one of the main driving forces for me to want to watch this show is because I had the biggest crush on Elisha Cuthbert
when I was young. Even when she looked like that (below), I was in love. I think I actually thought I might date her one day (I was probably
only around 15, so I guess that's a good enough excuse). I always knew she'd be really hot when she was older, but I would never have
thought she'd grow up to be famous.

I think I've only seen one episode of this show. It was pretty good but I just never watched it again. I heard that she quit the show.

How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

That sucks about Elisha if you're right, Krista.
Go to Future Shop, Jorge. I guarantee you it will be only $28.99. It's been that way for quite a few weeks now, so I can't see why it
would change. It's all a part of the crazy season one sale's that has been going on everywhere. I really can't stress enough how
amazing this show is, so check it out if you can.

I've seen the whole first season on TV, but didn't catch the second due to work, I think I missed the third as well, unless it
hasn't come here yet.
I thought it was a good show. Nice concept if a little on the far fetched side (hey, it's TV, what ISN'T far fetched on TV, I'll
tell you what some punk kid with punk kid friends living with a bunch of rich people and yet there's not a single curse word said save for
"bastard" which is about as bad as a combover).

I watched 24 a few months back when I was sick in bed. My dad had both seasons on DVD and I watched both seasons in 3 days. The dude is right, the
show is amazing and totally addictive.
I've taken the habit of turning off my 'sense' when I watch television. It makes it a lot more enjoyable.

If you're interested about the basic plot for season 2, Sin: basically, there is a nuclear bomb somewhere in Los Angeles that is terrorist
controlled and the government found out that it is to be used on the city that day.
I remember watching "beat the geeks" a few months ago and the TV geek was asked the real names of all the cast members, he couldn't
answer the question because he refused to learn the real names of all the actors because it would ruin the experience for him.

Good show but never got hooked. Missed one hour you were pretty much screwed. They also pretty much out did theirselves with the second season which
made it hard to come up with a more thrilling plot for the third.

Can't believe I missed this!
24 is my favourite show (along with The Shield). Season 1 is good but doesn't really have any replay value. Season 2 is ok but in my opinion 3
is by far the best.
I've just forked out £69.99 (about $110 US) for a trading card featuring a patch of fabric from the Senator's tie from season 1 to
complete the collection, woohoo!

Glad to hear that Season 3 is good. I was worried for a second. It should be out on DVD pretty soon.
I'm about halfway through the Second Season now. I just can't to find how everything is going to tie together.
