    Watched all 4 complete seasons awhile back, love the show minus season 1.. that was a bit too fluffy for me.

    Season 5's off to a great start so far. It's got some parts that make you just go wtf, but the fuck everyone attitude of this season's great imho.

    I passed on it for along time as I did with Nip/Tuck, both shows just never appealed to me for some reason, but after watching a great deal of them both I'm a major fan

    I watched about...two episodes a while back. I dont remember much about them but I remember liking the format of the show. How it transitions through the twenty-four hours is awesome.

    I'm sorry, but I could never seem to get pulled into this show... It's just not my type, I WANT to like it, I really do... But at the moment I would rather be violated by telephone poll than watch another episode.

    lol what's so bad about it to you Gio?

    granted they overact at times, and sometimes it moves slow, but overall it's one of the better shows on TV.

    Last season pissed me off abit, I can't stand the really fact tech Edgar, although it was badass when they had his mom die from the nuclear reactor melting down.

    Thats one thing I like about the show, no one is safe they'll kill anyone off if they have to. I had to rewatched s05.e01 a few times at the beggining to believe they killed off who they did.

    *curious*
    What're the ones you consider good atm?

    I liked 24 when I saw it, good drama, but it really wasn't my thing. Most times I've deviated from [Adult Swim] or History channel, I've been dissapointed..

    I watch little TV so I may not have them all covered, but heres a few I've followed over the past year or two

    E-Ring
    Shield
    Nip/Tuck
    Wanted
    Soprano's
    Family guy
    Freddie (this is way better then I thought it could even approach)
    Good Eats
    30 minute meals
    Deadliest Catch
    Iron Chef in it's japanese form

    Lost I ug.. lost track of but I need to get back into, Four Kings I really wanted to see as I like Seth Green, but it's way, way too forced comdey wise.

    I cancelled my cable recently due to the infestation of reality shows. Seriously wtf are these ppl smoking to think "Skating with the D-list stars" is worth putting on TV?!

    Not to mention if I even accidentally saw one more episode of that bullshit they call American Idol I was honestly going to go ultimatepower ninja style off on someone.

    True, but it's not worth 90$ a month or at it's cheapest here 50$ a month, to have a total of 2 dozen or so hours maybe worth of TV time a month. Especially not when I can spend those several hours and snag em all online, and not be bothered looking for something else to watch constantly, and not be bothered with commercials =)

    There's maybe 1-2 shows a night tops worth watching for me, and then you get 6 months worth of repeats a year, or episodes not worth watching. Just works out better that way.

    I forgot to add George Lopez also to the list above. He tries too hard alot of the time, but it's amusing watching him make fun of himself.

    Three outta the list, If I had to add one - that wasn't anime - I'd say "Over There" Incredibly over-dramatic, but guns... and bombs... and french women....

    I don't know why i could never get into 24. It seemed to much like a soap opera to me. It is also annoying how Jack seems to constantly talk in whispers. Is every season supposed to take place in 1 day. that's insane when does the guy sleep.

    I liked Season 2or 3, when he was hopped up on heroin, at least that explained his alterness. To be fair though, I stay awake 30+ hours at a time before I start to feel groggy. By around 50 I start loosing alot of my higher thought, around 70 I'm pretty much sitting there staring off into space. Staying awake 24 hours when so much is at stake is easily doable

    Fun Jack Bauer Facts. I'm sure some of them are ripoffs of the Chuck Norris shit, but they're funny.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you wake up in the morning, it’s because Jack Bauer spared your life.

    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.

    Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

    Jack Bauer’s favorite color is severe terror alert red. His second favorite color is violet, but just because it sounds like violent.

    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.

    Jack Bauer got Helen Keller to talk.

    Jack Bauer was never addicted to heroin. Heroin was addicted to Jack Bauer.

    1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer. Sounds like a fair fight.

    Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

    Jack Bauer doesn’t miss. If he didn’t hit you it’s because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away.

    Lets get one thing straight, the only reason you are conscious right now is because Jack Bauer does not feel like carrying you.

    When you open a can of whoop-****, Jack Bauer jumps out.

    If Jack says “I just want to talk to him/her” and that him/her is you… well amigo, you’re screwed!

    Killing Jack Bauer doesn’t make him dead. It just makes him angry.

    When life gave Jack Bauer lemons, he used them to kill terrorists. Jack Bauer hates lemonade.

    In grade school, a little boy punched Kimberly Bauer, and Kimberly ran home to tell her dad. That little boy’s name? Stephen Hawking.

    Jack Bauer does not sleep. The only rest he needs is what he gets when he’s knocked out or temporarily killed.

    In kindergarten, Jack Bauer killed a terrorist for Show and Tell.

    Jack Bauer literally died for his country, and lived to tell about it.

    As a child, Jack Bauer’s first words were “There’s no time!”

    Jack Bauer’s family threw him a surprise birthday party when he was a child. Once.

    If you are still conscious, it is because Jack Bauer doesn’t want to carry you.

    Guns don't kill people, Jack Bauer kills people.

    Every time Jack Bauer yells “NOW!” at the end of a sentence, a terrorist dies.

    Jesus died and rose from the dead in 3 days. It took Jack Bauer less than an hour. And he’s done it twice.

    If you send someone to kill Jack Bauer, the only thing you accomplish is supplying him a fresh set of weapons to kill you with.

    Jack Bauer could get off the Lost island in 24 hours.

    Jack Bauer has no friends, because as a child when he would play cops and robbers, the robbers would all be interrogated and killed.

    There were originally five horsemen of the apocalypse. Jack Bauer said he would travel by foot.

    Jack Bauer's cell phone never runs out of battery because the cell phone doesn’t want to be mistaken for helping the terrorist.

    Taco Bell used to close at midnight, until Jack Bauer decided he wanted to have burritos at 2 am.

    When Jack Bauer goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.

    Jack Bauer doesn't follow protocol. Protocol follows Jack Bauer.

    Jack Bauer wears aviator sunglasses as a courtesy to the Sun so it doesn't have to look into his eyes.

    Jack Bauer has been to Mars. That’s why there's no life on Mars.

    On Jack Bauer’s Tax Returns, he has to claim the entire world as his dependants.

    If you ever tried to tell Jack Bauer to go to hell, the Devil would silence you before you finished the sentence.

    Jack and Jill went up the hill. Only Jack came down. Jill was a terrorist.

    Jack Bauer's poker face is so good he once won a game of poker with monopoly money, an eight card from uno, a joker, a visa card, a tissue, and an iPod nano.

    Scientists recently uncovered the real reason dinosaurs are extinct: Jack Bauer received an anonymous tip that dinosaurs are terrorists.

    It would only take 1 bullet for Jack Bauer to kill 50 Cent.

    Jack and Nina actually had a kid. A book was written about him called 'Revelations'

    Jack Bauer knows where the Lost City of Atlantis is because he sunk it.
