Are You Watching 24?

All of you Lost snobs should spend some of your TV viewing time watching 24. We (me and the Mrs.) actually had to pause the last episode once (good thing we were watching a recording) and pick our jaws up off of the floor. I don’t think this spoils it too much, but here are some phrases that we both said at the same time as we watched last night:

“Jack’s DAD!?”

“Jack has a BROTHER TOO!!?”

“THAT GUY IS HIS BROTHER!!!!!!????” <pressed pause so we could let that one sink in>

How tough is Jack Bauer? Jack Bauer’s hair stylist is Chuck Norris.

Catch up on the episodes you’ve missed.

Julie found some good links for the show:

  • Dave Barry updates his blog with comments about the show AS HE’S WATCHING IT. I can’t enjoy the show and read the blog at the same time, but the comments he makes are hilarious. (SPOILER ALERT: Don’t go to this site if you haven’t watched an episode yet.)

Jeff and I watched it the very first season and enjoyed it. I did not continue watching it because I can't stand shows that are so good but never end (week to week). I guess it is part of my OC where I have to complete things or I spaz. Anyway, that is a compliment to the show because I thought it was great the first season and I hear it gets better each season. I feel the same about Lost and Heros, but my abusive husband forces me to watch it.....because he watches it and I can't stand to watch it with him if I haven't kept up.

It definitely leaves you hanging each episode. Last season was the first time that we watched it and it even left you hanging at the end of the last episode.

By the way, Farmer Hoggett will be in the next episode. "That'll do Jack. That'll do."

I like Heroes, but it has the pace of a daytime soap opera. There will be one big episode and then about 5 or 6 where you could miss them and still keep up with the main story. I think the writers came up with a really good one or two hour movie, but accidently sold it as a series and now they have to come up with about 10 hours of filler. i.e. Hiro and his friend driving around the Southwestern U.S. Oh wait, now they're in New York... but they have to go back to Las Vegas.

(Man, I learn new stuff about The South every day!!)

Schmo,

I was trying to come up with a funny joke that would imply that I watch those shows, but I couldn't make myself do it. I've never watched more than a few seconds of either.

I have yet to miss an episode of 24 since it debuted. Love the show. Hence, that's why I made the motivational posters that you linked to above.

I'm not as keen on the 24 movie idea...just keep the show going!
