It was sometime around the middle of last year when I stumbled onto this show. A good friend recommended that I check it out but at that time, I really wasn't into any TV series. I'm a huge fan of the History Channel, Learning Channel, Travel and the rest of them channels like that. I had even seen a few previews on several shows that were coming out and thought... dang, these look pretty good! But I still never put any time into them. Even shows like American Idol never appealed to me!
Getting back to my point here, my friend let me borrow the first season of 24. At first, Shelly and I started watching them at night after supper. She was immediately hooked. For me, I didn't think I was going to get into it. After three or four episodes, I started to come around and by the last couple of disc in the DVD set, I was hooked. So I turned the set back over to my friend and then he let us borrow the 2nd season. I think he owned all of them because he always told me to let him know when we're finished and he'd let us borrow the next season.
So we start watching the second season and I'm simply glued to the TV. I would even beg Shelly to watch another episode after one finished. She would only last through two or three episodes cause she has to be in bed by 9 pm you know! So we did that until around the middle of the 2nd season. After that, I just couldn't help it anymore. I stayed up till 3 in the morning watching those programs! And if I had a Sunday where I wasn't doing anything, I wouldn't leave the house. I was addicted and I still am! That show is amazing! There is so much action and so many things happening at once that it always leaves you on the edge of your seat.
So here is where I stand. Even though I would get a whole season ahead of Shelly, I would watch them over with her. By the time season 4 was finished, I was in the beginning phase of my portfolio class. So I told my friend not to give me any more seasons until we're finished. There was just no way I would commit any time to my work if there was a unwatched season of 24 around. You know, I never got to Season 5. After we finished school, we continued to hang out but someone else had the season so I wasn't able to watch it. Looks like I'll have to rent or buy the DVD set myself. Did I mention that I was addicted to that show? Since I've been watching 24, Kiefer Sutherland has become one of my favorite actors.
I'm telling you. If you haven't already seen any of the shows, then you just need to make time and watch them from the beginning. It's like there is action, suspense and drama happening all at one time, but Jack Baur always pulls it together somehow and saves the day. It's neat how it all comes together when everything is so scattered.
Right now, season 8 is showing at 9 pm Monday nights. I believe Fox is the network! Go check it out! Beware: You may become addicted!
