Anyone watch the season premier of 24 last night? Sorta like "Jack Baur meets the Obama administration"...

Another 2 hour episode tonight... starts in 20 minutes.
 
I normally don't watch this show. . .but I watched last night and I am curious how they handle the politics.

While I am no expert in counter-terrorism, why do I think "24" is to National Security what "House" is to medicine?
 
You are really going to poke fun at 24? Are you serious? That's really really bad... That's almost pulling a wingless.
 
Jack Bauer!!!! We need more of that mentality in our Intelligence agencies. But good news though, we're heading in the right direction, the big O will be closing Git-mo soon:smt009 .. Gotta go. The Mac is in the office, and the HD big screen is in the basement..

OK. . I stand warned. I will tread very, very lightly. Maybe I will just tread lightly out of the room :smt101

Did we find another third rail?
 
I thought twenty-four was the number of people on Gary's ignore list. Oh well. I don't watch much TV.

Best regards,

24? I haven't finished watching 11 yet.
 
F that f'n show. F'n HATE it.

Pre empt my Simpsons and Family Guy....ESPECIALLY Family Guy.

Rot in hell, 24. Rot in hell.
 
ok. . .after 90 minutes tonight. . .I won't be commenting on the merits of this show.

(but it was a really good line!!)

(not that the show is bad. . .it is cool. . .but not fodder for a holding tank dust up :) )

Let me guess, the "West Wing" is more like real life White House stuff?? Wait, Gilligan's Island closer to reality? Or maybe 'Rescue Me" what a load of crap but let's face it, it's entertainment.. Except for Rescue Me, Denis Leary can kiss my firefighting ass for the disservice he does to my profession but I digress...:grin:

+1.

I agree with every word of your post.

My favorite entertainment show is Terminator:The Sarah Conner chronicles.

For reality, there is a show on FitTv called "Shimmy". It simply doesn't get any better than that.
