I don't know too many people who have, unfortunately. [Sigh.]

Only seen the final episode of the first series. But I really liked it. I'm gonna get it on DVD.

Subhuman · Post by **Subhuman** » Sat Sep 21, 2002 2:02 am

Who wouldn't? Especially when it's this slick? And trust me, it's got more than enough action to satisfy shoot-em-up lovers.

Ahh. I love you, 24.

[Caresses the Season One DVD box on his desk.]

As a service to Reaper, and any others who haven't seen the show yet, we should put major plot points in a super-super small type size, like this:

This is a spoiler!

i cant stand drama, its stupid, and usualy boring.

'cept for law and order, but then, i just like to watch rape victims cry.

It is under no circumstanses the best or coolest shows ever.
Those titles go to Cupid and Homicide, respectivley.
24 is really, really good though.

CBR, who the hell is that in your avatar? It looks like Kevin Spacey.

I never watched Homicide, and I haven't heard of Cupid (I don't think). Honestly couldn't comment. But I do think that 24 was the best drama series of last season.

Bow down, heathens.
Joke, right?
It is Kevin in American Beauty, at least the greatest movie sense Raging Bull. Or maybe even The Godfather.

heeey, ive seen this cupid tv show... i remember that one episode where he leaves this basket with candies,or eggs, or something, that the shrink chick wished for....

fucking stupid.

no one gets raped in that crap, and its so overly romantic sometimes, that it doesnt acully make me want to puke,but rather, it makes me want to puke, eat my puke, then puke again.

is that 24 hours anything like that?

When is this show even on? I saw commercials for it back when it was about to premiere but I never have seen it on or even know what channel it is on.

It had me until the lame ass stolen from a brain dead soap writer amnesia sub-plot.

Watched every episode up till then, only caught a few minutes after that.

ABC cut it off after putting it in two of their worst time spots.
The weird thing is that it had a great (read expensive) cast.
Not to mention Jeremy Piven and Chicago.
Did I mention Jeremy Piven?

HEY HEY HEY! Font size 2, remember?!

[Smacks HanoverF over the head with the TV remote.]

Guardian: The show is about Jack Bauer, an agent at the Counter-Terrorist Unit (CTU), who has 24 hours to stop the assassination of a presidential candidate. Along the way there are about a million plot twists, double-crossings, double-double crossings, sudden deaths, imposters....you name it. It's amazing how powerful the twists are - there was one moment in one of the early episodes....

...where Jack shot Nina

.....and it felt like a punch in the gut. I just stared at the TV for about 5 minutes straight. I couldn't believe it. And there were 4 more of those moments throughout the rest of the season!!!

Get the DVD. YOU MUST GET THE DVD. And watch Season 2! (October 29th @ 9pm, on FOX.)

you make it sound like a platform game.

i'll need to watch it before i can make comments on how stupid it is... sounds only mildly retarded, though.

Man, fuck this. I hate the Emmys. 24 deserved the Outstanding Drama Series award, and Kiefer Sutherland should have won Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series. (At least it won the writing award, which it so richly deserved.)

Did I mention that I hate the Emmys? And the Oscars?

Voodo is one of those people who pretends to have taste in movies and tv.
Just read from his website.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? Do you even know what 8 1/2 is?

24

What do you think of 24?
