Who's excited?

Meh. This show lost it's fastball a few seasons ago.

Last season was ok with Tony Alameida being the bad guy, but other than that it did nothing for me.

I am.

There have been 2 down seasons, in my opinion. Both occurred in the years prior to the writer's strike. I was in the minority in my thinking for one, but in the consensus for the other. Other than those blips, 24 freaking rocks. I don't care how improbable the situation is. I just want to be entertained.

And, oh yeah, I hope the buxom, redheaded FBI agent is back and that Jack bangs her silly.

I've honestly enjoyed all the seasons. Yes, some were not as good as the others, but it's still entertainment to me dammit.

I thought last season was very good and I am looking forward to both this and Chuck kicking off next month.

TV blows right now. Too CSI, NCIS, ALPHABETTY.

I don't know. It's crazy isn't it? I wish they'd just re-form CTU.

CTU is being reformed in New York City. You got your wish.

I read something recently, and that was mentioned. Freddie Prinze Jr. is also going to be in the cast. For whatever that's worth.

Where is Rick Schroeder(sp)?

I'm looking forward to it. But seriously Jack needs to be killed off and Tony needs to take his place. They've made Jack into "James Bond Macgyver", kinda stoopid.

Go fuck yourself

Fantastic!!!

Jack's the draw of the show. He might die in the final season, but I'd support Jack MacGyver Rambo Superman Bauer living for-ev-er


5 days. 2 nights and 4 hours of a season premiere starting Sunday on Fox.

Normally I fucking hate Sunday nights...just thinking about having to wake up early the next morning pisses me off...

In this case, I'll be glad when Sunday night is here...

Four hours, two nights. I can't wait. After the premier, is it going to be on Sundays, or Mondays? If it's Mondays, that's a great doubleheader with House.

Mondays.

Yeah, this is about the only time of year that I actually take two hours to watch shows at the regularly scheduled times.

You a House fan too?

Yeah, I enjoy the show...can't say I've been keeping up with it this year but if I'm looking for something to do on a Monday night and I'm too lazy to fire up the xbox I'll watch it...

Ok, quick question. Saw the commercial for this last night. I have never
watched an episode of this show but understand the concept of the program.
Since there is nothing on Sunday nights after football goes away, would I be
just fine picking up right here and not knowing anything about the past? Am
I going to miss things within the dialogue because of relationships with the
other characters from previous seasons?

Yes and no. it really helps to know the background from previous seasons, because sometimes it matters. it's hard to say if that is the case for this season without really knowing anything about what the storyline is. At the same time, as long as you pick it up from the first episode this season, it should still be very enjoyable, and easy enough to follow. If they are referencing something from the past, you can always come here and ask.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT TILL SUNDAY!

A couple weeks ago while waiting for a game to load up, Doug mentioned that he's picking up on coincidental references to MW2 everywhere...well, just picked up a couple coincidences in 24 that I thought were perfect...

The assassin had some nice tats...one of them looked a bit familiar...



I'm waiting to find out the assassin's name was Alexei Borodin...

Then come to find out we got a guy...err...girl on the inside with the Russians...

If she helps them shoot up an airport, I'm gonna freak...

Good four hours...especially enjoyed the last minute...
