Some of you know that I'm addicted to this show. Some of you are addicted to this show. Some of you need help getting started - join our addiction!
What show? What show keeps you awake at night wondering who's the next to die? What show will lead to conversation for at least 2 dinners about why the terrorists are so bad and why don't we just bomb them already? What show features not one, but two, African-American presidents? (a little spoiler - hehe) What show features the only TRUE American? Willing to do anything for his country? Maybe even die?
It starts again on Sunday night with a 2-hour premiere. Oh, you'll be at church? You holy people need to tape (or DVR) this. Oh, you have children? You good parents need to tape (or DVR) this, too. This show isn't for children. There's alot of violence (language? I can't remember) and our kids have never seen it.
Jim and I have watched it from the beginning and we've always loved it! I've always said it's like a book that you can't put down and yet, it only lasts 1 hour. If you're afraid you can't start it because so much has gone on - don't worry. All you need to know is that the Chinese have wrongly imprisoned Jack Bauer (our hero) and anyone at any minute could die.
I saw this on a blog and it made me laugh out loud so I'm posting it, too.

Glen and I can't WAIT to watch on Sunday!! And every Monday for MONTHS!! :) We are huge 24 fans. We started watching it late on DVDs and would literally watch for 12 hours straight - through the night, in the car on trips. We let NOTHING come become us and our Jack!! His voice just happens to be the sexiest voice on the planet!!! (Sorry Glen!!) I can't wait to talk with you about it on Tues!!! :)
I am almost convinced to go and buy the 1st season!
Ohhhhhhh my goodness that was hilarious..I am emailing that one out to all my fellow 24 lovers.
I have been anticipating this 2 night date w/ Jack for weeks. I can't wait. Prepare yourself...Tuesday will be dedicated to discussing Jack.
"Dedicated to discussing Jack" - I love it!! There's something about white day or teaching children but we can let that go! WooHoo!
You do realize that it's 4 hours of Jack before Tues!!
I KNOW!! Those poor kids are just going to have to fend for themselves. We'll have MUCH to discuss. What is more important? Children being taken care of...or an in depth discussion on the latest happenings of Jack Bauer? I'm just saying. It is what it is. Can I get an amen?
I love Jack and 24 as well! Over the Christmas break we rented the movie the wild and when I recognized the voice of the lion, at first I said, Hey, That's Jack Bauer!
I just read these ouloud to Glen and they are SO much funnier (if that's possible) when you read them aloud. Funny stuff Neesie!
I enjoy 24 but have trouble suspending my disbelief that much.
I found the list very funny. Esp. the one about Superman's PJ's
Where in the world was the rest of the show???? At our house anyway, the screen went blank for at least an hour after the show had been on less than 30 minutes.....when I checked on it later they were showing an old season's show! Not happy!
I too was sorely disappointed when I checked to see that I was getting a good signal on my vcr (yes I still live with over the-air-broadcast and vcr tape) and saw only black. This afternoon, I surfed over to http://www.kxvafox.com/ and found the following on Abilene's FOX affiliate website
24 Season Premiere Technical Issues:
We are aware that due to the ice storm that hit the Abilene area on Sunday night, the Season Premiere of 24 was not able to be viewed at many households in the Abilene area. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working with the FOX network to try to bring that episode to Air as soon as possible.
Well, that is not very reassuring, so I am currently exploring alternative methods of acquiring the show.
