Vic, is that you?
Ropera on November 2, 2006 at 12:30 PM
I’m looking forward to it. I thought the last season was incredible.
Esthier on November 2, 2006 at 12:36 PM
I may be the only person in the western world who hasn’t seen “24″—but that did look pretty cool.
jdpaz on November 2, 2006 at 12:41 PM
I haven’t seen it either, but I agree, it did look cool. I just have one question. Who were those people that were blowing stuff up? Were they “youths”? Do we know have “youths” in our country? Is Jack against the “youths” in our country? I may need to start watching this show
Ancienthistory on November 2, 2006 at 12:44 PM
The show has some weaknesses. I think they need a cute talking dog, or a funny alien from the future with magic powers who floats around cracking wise and granting wishes, or an ethnic character with a catchy tagline. Oh, yeah, and a machine-generated laugh track!
Now that I put it in writing, what are the odds the Hollywierd geniuses will actually do it?
stonemeister on November 2, 2006 at 12:45 PM
You have to know Jack to love Jack. And I LoOooOve Jack! Right back to Young Guns….I am a SUCKER for him. He could read the phonebook and I’d tune in….now he’s playing a tough Conservative-type…..I’m sooo there.
seejanemom on November 2, 2006 at 12:46 PM
Damn, not til JANUARY!!!! WAAAHHHH!
JDPAZ, ya better catch up, get the DVD’s , buy ‘em or get them from your library, start with Season One. This is the best series, ever.
Me too, IAN. Me too.
shooter on November 2, 2006 at 12:47 PM
Yes , its better the BSG!!!
shooter on November 2, 2006 at 12:47 PM
Hmmm…. not better than BSG, but up there. IMO.
DaveS on November 2, 2006 at 12:48 PM
It’s more “crack-like” than BSG, though.
DaveS on November 2, 2006 at 12:49 PM
did I see Houston and San Antonio? Looks like they’re getting out of LA. Interesting. The show is awesome and Jack rocks. It’s too bad he’s just a fictional character. But hey, we can dream can’t we?
As for the “youths” Jack will call them what they are – islamic terrorists. he doesn’t mess around with the PC bullshit. Like I said, it’s too bad he’s a fictional character.
Oh, also interesting – looks like the new President is the former President Palmer’s brother????
pullingmyhairout on November 2, 2006 at 12:50 PM
He’s way against the ‘youths’ , shoots plenty of ‘em. Terrorists, nukes, diseases, and women…lots of hot women on both sides.
shooter on November 2, 2006 at 12:51 PM
Probably not. I haven’t seen much of 24, but the terrorists they deal with a significantly more sophisticated than that.
However, they are terrorists and Jack has no problem with “belly slapping” to keep Americans from being blown up.
Esthier on November 2, 2006 at 12:51 PM
What are you insinuating about me DaveS? Huh? Crack like?
… I am NOT a PLUMBER!
shooter on November 2, 2006 at 12:53 PM
how did he get to be president? what did he run on a “my brother was president” platform?
jummy on November 2, 2006 at 12:59 PM
I was hoping that this upcoming installment would be the year when Jack finally fought the real terrorists but alas when the last episode this year had him on a slow boat to China I pretty much decided I won’t be watching it this time around.
Besides we all know that everything he does in trying to protect America has been declared illegal by the Dems and the ACLU. I don’t watch too many fairy tales nowadays.
LakeRuins on November 2, 2006 at 1:00 PM
I can’t wait. Great show.
liberty on November 2, 2006 at 1:01 PM
I think they might be showing what terrorists are doing across the country, just like when they attacked nuclear plants.
This season looks like it’s going to address suicide bombers in America — something that nobody seems to talk about, but should.
Ian on November 2, 2006 at 1:01 PM
CAIR probably already has their complaint letter in the mail.
Go Jack Go!
IndependentConserv on November 2, 2006 at 1:01 PM
He’s a Democrat too. :-(
Ian on November 2, 2006 at 1:02 PM
Yes, go back and rent the DVDs. We started this summer with season one and it’s really as good as everyone says. I’ve seen three seasons so far; I think the second was the best.
see-dubya on November 2, 2006 at 1:04 PM
Hey, is that the brother now President?
msflea on November 2, 2006 at 1:07 PM
I wonder how well Jack would do against the ACLU? I’m sure they wouldn’t want roughians like Jack messing up the hair of their precious terrorist friends. Anyone think that Jack would be able to avoid the barrage of law suits if they ever got wind of him?
Pestilence on November 2, 2006 at 1:10 PM
I, for one, went out and paid extra to have a DVR just for this show. I also own the first four seasons on DVD. Addicted? Naw, I can quit any time I want…really…honest…
Centurion68 on November 2, 2006 at 1:15 PM
Bless me Father for I have Sinned.
I’ve never seen the show 24. I missed episode 1, season 1, and have since become so intimidated by the ever expanding library of episodes that I shudder nightly in a corner, instead of buckling down and watching.
Crap…
StoutRepublican on November 2, 2006 at 1:16 PM
Oh, Jack, how I have missed you so.
Ian, three words…..I’m TOTALLY psyched!!!!
KelliD on November 2, 2006 at 1:18 PM
Apparently there is at least three of us. You’re right though, it did look cool.
High Desert Wanderer on November 2, 2006 at 1:21 PM
Wow terrorists as our enemies? Whod a thunk it. The perpetrators of the last Superman movie should be made to watch this. What will the left do when ratings go through the roof? I can already hear them churning in agony. Heh.
Theworldisnotenough on November 2, 2006 at 1:33 PM
Oh and I’ve never seen 24 either…
Theworldisnotenough on November 2, 2006 at 1:33 PM
I’ve never seen the first four seasons (though plan on renting them at some point) but had no problem getting into the show with the fifth season.
Don’t be intimidated. Watch the season opener and decide if you want to continue. It’s what I did and was pretty much hooked from day one.
Esthier on November 2, 2006 at 1:35 PM
I remember reading a preview of the first season premiere in Maxim, I think, and saying ‘this is going to be the coolest show ever.’ I think I still have the magazine somewhere. I started with season 1 and haven’t missed an episode. What a great show.
Jonathon on November 2, 2006 at 1:35 PM
I can’t even think straight… 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24…
I really hope there are people like Jack Bauer out there. I’m sure if the Democrats win the next few elections we’ll find out as they are all put on trial at the Hague…
BadBrad on November 2, 2006 at 1:39 PM
Jack Bauer is so bad he had to change his middle name to “Freaking”.
UNCDoc on November 2, 2006 at 1:43 PM
Jack Bauer for Sec. of Homeland Security. It could be a one-man dept.
thirteen28 on November 2, 2006 at 1:44 PM
Well, in the SHOW, not real world of course, he would eliminate the ACLU, or the need for the ACLU, or any desire to work for the aclu. Wack a couple leaders and the domino effect, they all leave.
Producers, you payin’ attention here?
shooter on November 2, 2006 at 1:46 PM
I seriously hope we have people in the government who dominate like JB. I started watching the show later on, but it’s the only one I really care about. Prison Break and UFC is cool, but 24 is godlike.
V15J on November 2, 2006 at 1:51 PM
Nostradamus once predicted in his journal: “In the century 21st, the one known as Jacques will be the savior of the world… five seasons in a row.” Moments later, Jack Bauer knocked down the door, shot Nostradamus in the kneecaps, and yelled “WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!”
When life hands Jack Bauer lemons, he kills Terrorists.
Jack Bauer fuckin’ hates lemonade.
SilverStar830 on November 2, 2006 at 1:55 PM
Jack Bauer would sue the ACLU, then when they were on the witness stand Jack Bauer would give them a roundhouse . . . oh, wait sorry – wrong person.

greenpiece on November 2, 2006 at 1:58 PM
Nice.
Esthier on November 2, 2006 at 1:59 PM
That “…this administration is willing to tear up the Constitution” line is a little troubling for me… smells like Moonbat influnce.
Have watched every episode so far, but if it’s still on Mondays at 9PM, it’ll take a back seat to Heroes. Thankfully, my DVR will record both (but I’ll watch Heroes forst).
hindmost on November 2, 2006 at 2:00 PM
First, too.
hindmost on November 2, 2006 at 2:01 PM
Jack Bauer’s mother threw him a surprise party once…….once

Alright, here’s the whole bunch (thanks, Neal Boortz):

If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he’d shoot Nina twice.
If you wake up in the morning, it’s because Jack Bauer spared your life.
Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.
If it tastes like chicken, looks like chicken, and feels like chicken, but Jack Bauer says its beef. Then you better believe it’s beef.
Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

UNCDoc on November 2, 2006 at 2:27 PM
Maybe this season (day?) won’t suck like the last two. My life loves this show more than any other (Law & Order et. al, Lost) combined. You know what that means?
More time on the computer for me!
Neo on November 2, 2006 at 2:28 PM
It is precisely because of our glorification of self-sacrifice that we’re in this mess. Jack Bauer needs to say, “I want to live, and I’ll kill any Koranimal that gets in my way.” Let’s stop sacrificing ourselves and start killing the enemy.
Lazarus on November 2, 2006 at 2:28 PM
I really liked that quote. “Let’s get one thing straight: the only reason you’re conscious right now is because I don’t feel like carrying you.”
Are any of the rest of these quotes as well?
Esthier on November 2, 2006 at 2:30 PM
Looks like fun. Maybe I will, finally, set up the recording and start watching the show.
It’s still no BSG. And I’ll still probably watch Heroes first too.
JoeEgo on November 2, 2006 at 2:30 PM
Watching 24 is like reading Clancey…you can’t wait for the next turn of events.
JACK rocks.
SPIFF1669 on November 2, 2006 at 2:33 PM
We know it’s all make believe. It actually depicts a democrat president that’s tough on terrorists. How far fetched can you get?!!
roninacreage on November 2, 2006 at 2:35 PM
Ditto!!!
StephC on November 2, 2006 at 2:42 PM
I’m gonna need a hacksaw …
It’s a fun show. Great production values. Great acting. Crappy writing. Goofy plots. Maybe the best action sequences ever on television. Best of all – they’ve got Keifer. Or is it Kiefer. I feel a Bauerism coming on. Keifer Sutherland is so tough, he puts i before e even AFTER a c. :)
But if you haven’t seen it … make sure you turn your mind off before the first episode starts. If not, you’ll be saying the words “oh, come on!” about every 30 seconds.
Trust me on this. If you stop and wonder things like how they simultaneously intercept every cell phone call into the White House … and yet all the bad guys keep talking on cell phones while in the White House … well, thinking ruins it.
And don’t ever stop to ponder just how ridiculously easy it is to attack CTU. Definitely do not stop to wonder why a frickin’ anti-terrorist top secret organization has to ALWAYS have at least one and usually two moles inside. Don’t these people screen their employees?
And don’t be surprised if – for no reason at all – a ridiculously stupid plot tangent shows up. Like (a hypothetical) … a mountain lion suddenly stalking Jack’s daughter, who will then be kidnapped 14 times. Just focus on her cleavage. Trust me. If you get bored with that, wait five minutes: she’ll be kidnapped again. Or maybe she’s actually a Chinese spy.
Trust me on all of the above. Great show – but turn off the brain first. Common sense or logic or especially any knowledge of the military will ruin it. Ignore that realistic stuff and enjoy.
But I’m boycotting if they don’t bring Tony Almeida back. He was almost as Jack as Jack.
I’m gonna need a hacksaw …

MORE Jack Bauer Basic Truths:
In 96 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the World 4 times. What the hell have you done with YOUR life?
What color is Jack Bauer’s blood? Trick question, Jack Bauer doesnt bleed.
People with amnesia still remember Jack Bauer.
Superman’s only weakness is kryptonite. Jack Bauer laughs at Superman for having a weakness.
The bumper sticker on Jesus’s car reads: WWJBD?
Jack Bauer’s family threw him a suprise birthday party when he was a child. Once.
Sun Tzu once wrote: “If your enemy is weaker, conquer him. If he is stronger, join him. If he is Jack Bauer, your dead.”
labwrs on November 2, 2006 at 2:59 PM
Is that all? I’m calling shenanigans on this body count. Check for hanging chads. And electrocuted Steves. And decapitated Bobs.
The numbers gotta be higher. Are you calling Bauer a pussy?
Professor Blather on November 2, 2006 at 3:04 PM
This show and it’s success gives me hope, that deep down inside, Americans like when terrorists are DEAD and when heroes don’t have time for protocol.
Kai on November 2, 2006 at 3:28 PM
Guns dont kill people, Jack Bauer kills people.
Jack Bauer was conceived by torturing the other sperm until they gave up the location of the egg.
Jack Bauer has been to Mars. That’s why there’s no life on Mars.
Esthier on November 2, 2006 at 3:34 PM
Cool promo. I like 24, but it seems that it has become less realistic and more like a comic book as the seasons have progressed. Like 007. But maybe there’s hope for Jack with this new season, and for 007 with Casino Royale.
The first season was very well thought out and precise. I remember after the first season when they were still pushing the idea that 24 could be about anyone’s life in a day, not just Jack Bauer’s. I also remember President Palmer getting poisoned at the end of a season; next season, he just needed some medication.
And I get depressed when I ponder the political correctness and symbolism that might be intended… as with so many other shows. But, as others have mentioned, if you can suspend your disbelief and abstract it from reality, it is a fun show.
Kevin on November 2, 2006 at 3:48 PM
Bauer is a great character.
Sutherland’s Hoarse Whisperer routine has worn thin for me.
He’s overplayed it. It’s not menacing it’s… trite. I mean does he say as many a three words per episode which aren’t Hoarse Whispered?
Roaming charges? Not on my plan. Put me through to your supervisor.
Stephen M on November 2, 2006 at 3:59 PM
I’m going to have to start watching this show too.
Interesting tidbit, Keifer’s grandfather was Tommy Douglas who brought universal healthcare to Canada. Tommy Douglas was picked as the greatest Canadian in a CBC series. Keifer speaks very highly of the man.
Canadian Infidel on November 2, 2006 at 4:04 PM
I’ve been meaning to ask this question:
On Season 4 (Habib Marwan) there was a teaser-trailer for Season 5 (the chemical attack where Edgar died), and the preview trailer showed Chloe sneaking to meet Jack somewhere secret in an industrial complex, from where he was later chased by a guy on a motorcycle then other vehicles. For the life of me, I do not recall that ever having happened on Season 5.
Did anybody else make that observation?
MsUnderestimated on November 2, 2006 at 4:07 PM
By the way, everyone who hasn’t seen the show, don’t you realize that if you were to look through the tv listings, you could probably find a channel that was running the reruns of it? At one point, WGN was playing two episodes every Sunday, but they got through season five and stopped. Also, as far as I know, A&E is playing four episodes every Monday, but they might have stopped since last I heard. So basically, what I’m saying is, if you haven’t seen the show from the beginning, it’s because you don’t want to.
You’ve no one to blame but yourself.
Wolfman on November 2, 2006 at 4:07 PM
MsUnderestimated
I remember it. She had to sneak around because the Homeland Security folks had taken over, she was fired and hanging out at the CTU directors house.
“24″ drinking game – Take a drink everytime Bauers’ cell phone rings while hiding 10 feet from the bad guys or trying to sneak up on them. Chloe needs to show him how to use the vibrate function.
LakeRuins on November 2, 2006 at 4:34 PM
THE only show I must see every week. 24
Yes, it’s pure fantasy, the ACLU and Dems would have a coronary if someone actually behaved this way, it has gotten a bit unreal the past two seasons, but damn it’s good show.
No, we won’t solve our terrorists problems the way Jack does but it is fun to watch and, by the way, secrectly wish we would.
Take care all
Bogeyfre on November 2, 2006 at 4:39 PM

Professor Blather on November 2, 2006 at 4:52 PM
24 is the bomb. Best show on TV IMHO.
Benaiah on November 2, 2006 at 5:46 PM
24 has always been one of my favorite shows…but did anyone else have a problem with Season 5? I couldn’t believe how many far-left conspiracy theories were in play there. Really, when Logan revealed he was in on everything, that was the jump the shark moment…atleast for Season 5. Hopefully they’ll bounce back this season, even though once again, we have no muslim terrorists. So much for being realistic.
Patriot33 on November 2, 2006 at 6:16 PM
I can’t wait to find out how he gets away from the Chinese; it must be some sort of deal or something.

For those people saying that they have to suspend belief for 24.
I suppose you think the West Wing was closer to the truth?
It is a TV show sit back and enjoy it. It sure beats 99.9% of the crap that is on “over the air TV.”
Wil on November 2, 2006 at 8:46 PM
We got TiVo just so we could record “24″–we don’t wanna miss a single moment!
Go Chloe and Jack Bauer!
(Jack Bauer don’t need no steekin’ waterboarding! He just shoots them in the kneecaps!)
Jen the Neocon on November 2, 2006 at 9:26 PM
You mean to say that jack is so MANLY that other mistaken his mother for another man?
chow on November 2, 2006 at 10:13 PM
It’s certainly an entertaining show, even though it portrays an American government (yes, including Jack) so corrupt and un-American to be deserving of a second American revolution. People like Jack are the reason for the 2nd Amendment.
I must have missed the part where they renamed Jack’s employer to the CITU. And what’s with the “youths” meme that’s floating around here? Something to do with the French kids who are causing all that trouble?
It didn’t happen in Season 5. It was just a promotional segment (was pretty cool, as I remember).
Mark Jaquith on November 2, 2006 at 11:44 PM
Well according to Col.O’Neill, SG1 saved the world at least 7 times.
