{ 24-Season One DVD collection }

24 is such an amazing show, that, well, it hurts to think about it at times. One season consists of 24 one-hour episodes, that when watched back-to-back, reveal the events of an entire day. Actually, due mainly to the fact that we live in an entirely commerce-based society, the episodes run 45 minutes so that you can see another bad series of country music speckled truck commercials, and the like...but I digress. Basically the plot centers around CTU Special Agent Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland), his family, and co-workers. The quality of the program is less television and more cinematic in nature. The reason I say this, is that, for a network t.v. show, 24 is jaw-droppingly brutal and quite intense. This show pulls no punches whatsoever. People get shot, stabbed, kidnapped, raped, and beaten. Men curse and women cry, it's everything I've ever wanted out of t.v. and more. "One thousand eighty minutes of cinematic television isn't a lot for one day, if I don't sleep." Or so I thought, but you start to really get sleepy after 12 straight hours or so. The show starts to wear you down, so in reality, it could take a week to digest it all. If you can pull it off in one sitting, you should win a collectors plate or something. A 24 HOUR ACTION MOVIE!!! It's okay to cry...I understand. Written by: Bryan L.

I really want to check this out, but I just can't find the time to dedicate to it, ya know? I don't want to watch 1 or 2 episodes at a time, but I guess I'll have to. Of course, from what it sounds like, I might not be able to stop....

Shane, I'll watch it it with you, I've got the set. Just don't watch any of season 2 or 3, it'll spoil the fun. Get in touch with a cracka'.
