 Much like Jack Bauer, Keith Sutherland and the 24 saga is invincible November 20, 2008
Robert Hanbury (San Diego)
"24" takes place during a 24-hour period (assuming your watch is powered by springs and maybe a rubber band or two). The 1st season had a few inconsistencies which I still can't get over, even till this day. But I wont give any spoilers. This is an outstanding series and every episode ends with so much suspense and intrigue that you can't stop watching. The story and concept are very well done. No other TV series has had this effect on us and watching it on DVD is the best way to experience 24. Set aside two weeks and 2-3 hours every night because you won't be able to stop watching until the end. ...
1. The Clock Is Always Ticking This builds suspense and rushes us past any inconsistencies, as in season 3, where the subways, streets, and schools are filled long after President Palmer has told everyone in L.A. to stay home.
2. There Are Enemies Everywhere They have homemade nukes, vials stuffed with lethal viruses, and Nuclear Power Plant Meltdown Devices (NPPMDs). Many of the enemies have prayer rugs rolled up in their closets and names like Behrooz.
3. We Fight Back With American Technology The center of this fight is the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), filled with computers and run by a boss who never stops saying stuff like ''Switch the A-4 booger-sucker node to kernel 7 now!'' and ''Nobody goes home until we get these guys!''
4. The Technology Always Screws Up Those tracking satellites are especially pesky, but the darn computers aren't much better; they always seem to be full of worms and viruses. I often wish that stoner guy would stroll in and say, ''Hey, CTU dudes, don't worry! You're all gettin' Dells!''
5. The Management Ain't That Great Either Last year's boss (Tony Almeida) went in the crapper for putting his wife's safety above the welfare of the country. This year's boss (Erin Driscoll) has a schizo daughter with a morbid fixation on the 7-year-old next door. Erin also loathes Jack Bauer and dumped Chloe O'Brien, who seems to be the only tech (other than Edgar) capable of using CTU's off-brand computers and no-name software.
6. The More Chloe Pouts, the Better I can't wait for Chloe (underplayed with deadly, delightful precision by Mary Lynn Rajskub) to return from exile. Why is that?
7. Never Trust the President's Wife If you watched the first three seasons and met Sherry Palmer, a smiling ogre who makes Erin Driscoll seem a schoolyard brat, no further explanation is needed.
8. Never Trust Smart African-American Women in General As last week's EW story points out, they all seem to be high-riding you-know-what cutters. Sherry Palmer, seasons 1-3; Julia Milliken, last season; the current Marianne Taylor; case closed.
9. The President's Advisers Are Monsters of Expediency Sherry Palmer is always the best example of this lesson, but recently the man closest to the current president advised that it would be better to scrag the hostage secretary of defense (and his daughter) in a purposely botched raid rather than allow terrorists to put him on trial. Harsh! Last year, President Palmer's brother wanted to snag Senator Keeler's debate playbook and later took part in an abortive black-bag job that led to a murder-suicide. And, speaking of suicide:
10. On 24, Suicide Is Always an Option Mysterious and vaguely Middle Eastern music preceding the act is optional (as just before Kalil Hasan offed himself by running into a truck), but the act itself is always on the table. It's true that Ryan Chappelle couldn't quite bring himself to ventilate the old brain bucket (Jack Bauer considerately finished him off), and Secretary of Defense Heller and his daughter Audrey were saved before they could finish sniffing the gas, but Julia Milliken turned the trick last season...and then there were all those hotel virus victims, lining up for so-long capsules. I kept wondering if they were swallowing them with Kool-Aid while the Reverend Jim Jones told stories about his dear old mother.
11. For 24 Hours, the Rule of Law Is Suspended There's no worrying about search warrants, Miranda warnings, any of that nonsense. Things are too dire. Everything is black-and-white; the good guys are all good and the bad guys are superbad (Nina Myers, for instance, may be the greatest TV villain ever). Certainly no one worries about a little torture with the fate of the country hanging by a thread. Jack Bauer never works over the wrong person, anyway. Although wouldn't it be great if, after shooting a guy in the leg and then asking him who he works for, the guy screamed: ''I work for Dell, dude! I came to fix the crappy computers in this place! Please don't shoot me in the other leg!''
12. In the Course of the Season, One Good Guy Will Get Killed Or -- as in the case of Chase Edmunds -- will only get his hand chopped off.
13. In the Course of the Season, One Good Guy Will Turn Out to Be a Bad Guy This is the Nina Myers Rule, and to 24 fans, it really needs no further explanation. You can't call it the Tony Almeida Rule, because I had a feeling Tony would be back even before he turned up to save Jack and Audrey's bacon.
And finally...of course...
14. For One Day a Year, Jack Bauer Will Not Need to Go to the Bathroom for 24 Hours But once those 24 hours are up, I bet he's in there for a long time.

You cant enough of 24. I will be glad when it is back on Fox.
 PIRATED? November 7, 2008

If DVDs are sticking or stopping. . they are probably pirated . I have gotten ONE DVD "I'll Cry Tomorrow" that was pirated .. resolution should be Super IF not 'pirated and then it would be .. 'not very good' as well .. I was going to buy the set until I read the two reviews .. shame on you Amazon .. PRIRACY is ILLEGAL . people can be find $250k and up to 5 years in prison .. I think you had better WATCH from whom you buy .. if NOT put out by the studio .. AND Boxed sets usually have BONUS material on them .. Ala "Get Smart" put out by Time/Life for the first year . now Warner Home Video is putting out each year per year .. NO bonus material . but if someone copies the 'shows' from . Oh well.. Buyer beware! ..
I first bought the Susan Hayward Movie I wanted in VHS form .. I phoned Amazon and told them to get a tape that is bout 1" long is NOT an authorized/studio VHS .. they refunded the money and I chose a DVD of same movie .. resolution was awful .. I knew . but did NOT call again .. BUT if you are getting sticky .. jerky & bad resolution DVDs . Call them .. ask for refund .. tell them it is pirated and search the web to report the seller .. Now Perhaps these are NOT pirated . but a few were bad .. Just remember .. Buyer beware ! .. Too much of this piracy going on .. residuals NOT being paid to those who deserve them . and IF Amazon is buying in bulk from same person/company .. NOT a STUDIO . then 'that is the person the FBI wants to find . Fine & jail' ..
On the edge of my chair!! September 29, 2008

This is one of my husband's favorite tv shows, & watched it religiously when it was on. I got this for him for our anniversary, & thought I'd watch the 1st season, at least, just to give it a fair try. I didn't think I'd like it, & wasn't interested when it was on tv. I usually don't like shows like this. Well, was I wrong!!! I am completely hooked, & it's hard to turn off when I have something else I need to do! It's awesome, too, to be able to watch this with no commercials, & no waiting a week (or in this case--a whole season thanks to the writer's strike) to find out what happens next. It's great to be able to throw in a disc when nothing else is on, but beware....! You'll be watching more than one disc in a sitting! It's addictive!
