24 is the best television I have ever watched. Gripped from the first episode. The first series is great, from 2-5 gets better and better, stalls a bit 6-7 and the first maybe 6 or so episodes of 8, then it hit me like a f**king juggernaut. I am not afraid to admit that I cried mantears in the last minute of the last episode.

I have every box set if you want to borrow and save yourself some pounds. PM and let me know

My favourite programme ever! ........so addictive ...I had the joy of getting into it in the 3rd series so over a week i watched the first 2 series....... i remember weatching 9 episodes in a row!

 

Jacks the man.....

I loved 24 but I've only ever seen season 1 & 2 in their entirety. Couldn't watch it when Sky got the rights to it though I think I'll buy that boxset of all the season once it comes down to a decent price.

[thebladder]

somehow I have managed to never have seen an episode of 24.

For those that have seen it, is it gritty like The Wire / Shield etc. or is it lightweight glossy pish like CSI?

 

If it's the former, I should probably check it out.

As said, I have every season box set and more than willing to let my fellow dandies borrow them. Send me your address by PM or email or fitiver and i'll gladly get them (one at a time) to you.

Definitely the former. It gripped me from the offset. Likeable, believable characters, some nasty, nasty bad guys, expect the unexpected, amazing plot twists. It really has everything. Even though the first season is only 10/11 years old it does look quite dated due to it's rising popularity obviously, the budgets for each season grew and grew culminating in amazing sets/stunts etc. Trust me and watch it. You WILL want to be Jack Bauer

[Bluto10]

Bauer!

 

I used to do impressions of him answering his phone when i was out.

 

cool programm. great fun.

 

i particularly iked teh way he bacame a herion junkie when he went dark. just for a laugh.

Aye, but the Salazar's get their dues

[King Street Loon]

I only really watched the last 2 or 3 series of 24.

 

I have downloaded the first series and keep meaning to watch it, but I'm currently working my way through 'The X-Files' just now.

[360]

Got through season 1 and loved it, I had borrowed it from my flatmate who had brought it up.

 

The c**t brought season 1, 4 and 5.

 

The f**k?

[OddJob]

Amazing programme but i think they were right to make series 8 the last one. Not to spoil anything for folk who haven't seen it but Ollie i think you'd probably agree that Series 5 was the best one for shock value?

 

And good choice KSL i.e The X-Files, still ace now imo. Always thought Series 2 was the best but after going through the boxset myself i'm thinking Series 6 now. There really are some amazing episodes in the whole collection.

 

Another of my favourite shows was Prison Break

[Dynamo]

Love it.

 

 

 

YAAAAAAAAS.

SEASON 5 TRAILER

 

Charles Logan is one of the great television characters :thumbs:

[woohoo]

Aww come on now, 24 is definitely lightweight and mega mega glossy. It's poorly written, overly relies on stupid twists and whole episodes can have nothing going on them til the 59th minute cliff-hanger. It's also essentially a huge propaganda mission on behalf of the US' war on terror.

 

It's also ridiculously entertaining and addictive and Jack Bauer is cool as f**k and most seasons are definitely worth watching.

I was going to give a big boo to woohoo until you redeemed and brought yourself back from the brink with paragraph 2!

[Nelly]

Never watched it when it was on but thought I'd borrow season 1 from a pal to see what the fuss was about. Enjoyed it but getting through 24 episodes of his daughter get repeatadly kidnapped was tough going at times. Great story though and a great ending but the thought of watching another 7 season's was too much for me. Life's too short.

Id kidnap her!

[Roo]

Seasons 1-3 were brilliant, season 4 a bit meh, 5 awesome again, 6 and the start of 7 quite poor and the rest of 7 and 8 pretty decent

 

Although in saying season 6 was the worst, it did have for me the biggest 'OMG WTF' reveal in it fairly early on

 

Can't believe season 1 is 10 years old later this year. I never watched it on telly but blitzed it on DVD as soon as it came out. It was much better when the BBC showed it though

 

Lots of cool characters that you didn't always like at first (did anyone seriously like Tony, Chloe or George Mason to start with?)

Just finished watching the last season on Sunday......brilliant TV show

Nina Myers is also strangely arousing

There's always some lovely ladies on that show, especially her who plays Renee Walker:

 

 

As Borat would say "Niiicceee".

Annie Wersching plays "Renee Walker". Seriously stunning and at this moment in time is top of my Redhead list edging out Lulu and Carol Decker into the also rans.

Another for the WYOWYN thread, Chloe O'Brien?

 

Another

Yes to this... I also thought Lynn Kresge from series 2 was kinda hot

 

And Michelle

[King Street Loon]

Yes to this... I also thought Lynn Kresge from series 2 was kinda hot

 

And Michelle

Is that her who played Ro Laren in Star Trek TNG?

[360]

Have been watching a lot of this recently, nearly finished season 7.

 

It's brilliant.

 

Agreed that Renee is hot, but never understood why someone as cool as Jack would go for Audrey Raines, she was boring and ugly as fuck.

[360]

Also as for Chloe O'Brien... with brown hair, probably.
