Yeeeeesssssss, except for the movie series part.

*Brodie* · 03-10-2010, 09:48 PM

Why "yessssssssss"?

This is one of the shows I really, really enjoy. It reinvented a love for Kiefer Sutherland I never knew I had.

I'm glad it will end and continue in some respect, considering Jack bauer really can't seem to catch a break.

I feel the same way.

*oldmanwinters* · 03-10-2010, 09:59 PM

Hank Hill, the Ninja Turtles, Adrian Monk, and now Jack Bauer. Where have all my TV heroes gone?

2009-2010 has not been kind to my already short list of "Shows I Watch."

Newton Gimmick · 03-10-2010, 10:04 PM

Hasn't the writing kinda been on the wall for this anyway? They almost canceled it last season.

I think this current 24 season has been severely lacking in awesomeness, but it seems to be getting better as the season continues. I thought last season was great.

I don't know, I just never really got into it. All it is is Chris Benoit holding a gun.

That doesn't make sense, and isn't funny.

Maybe the show is a bit higher than your comprehension.

Nope, I'm not stupid, just never really liked.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 03-11-2010, 05:10 PM

Even though the show has been on a slide the past 4-5 seasons, I still love it and I look forward to it every week. It makes Mondays bearable. I hope they shop it to another network or that the movie they've been developing brings the show to an awesome conclusion.

LOST and now 24. Looks like I'm going to need to find some hobbies or something.

*The Deadman* · 03-12-2010, 12:06 AM

Lost isnt a good show to begin with, so meh

FlawedCoil82 · 03-12-2010, 01:03 AM

Well I am not too surprised. While I do think 24 is still one of the best shows on tv, it has been losing quite a bit of realism for some time now. It's actually comedic when Jack gets tortured or does the torturing because it's "expected". The most shocking thing I've seen this season so far is when Jack offered to pay a street thug money if he gave him info on where he last saw someone he was looking for.....instead of torturing the guy to get the info. Plus, they have killed off SSSOOOOOOOO many of the good characters. Allison Taylor doesn't even begin to compare to David Palmer. I miss Michelle Dessler and Nina Myers as well. It was great to see Tony last season, but he wasn't really "Tony". It felt more like they just brought back the actor who played him. The first three seasons of 24 I thought were incredible. Season Four kinda slipped but got better towards the end. Season Five was great, but all the remaining good characters died and everything since then has been rather unimpressive. I don't know... I am sad to hear the news and yet not.

Not huge into it, but as an outsider, after so many seasons it seems like a one or two time gimmick stretched awfully thin. The shorter the series is, the more credibility it has.

Oh sh*t you're right!!! Thanks buddy!

*ZariusTwo* · 03-19-2010, 06:14 PM

Thank f*cking god.

Season seven of 24 gave me some hope, reinvented the series in a plausibly new and almost much more fun way, but season eight is like a diet version of it.

Lisardo · 03-23-2010, 05:56 PM

Kind of sucks in a way that this is the last season. But still...the show's being going on forever. Like Lost, it's gotta end some time. Same will probably be true for American Idol one day too. I do like Lost though, it's a good show.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 03-24-2010, 03:12 PM

After Monday's episode, I take back what I said. I can't take this show anymore. I wish there was some way to end the show on a good note, but I can't imagine that happening.

FlawedCoil82 · 03-25-2010, 02:49 AM

I am just very happy that CTU are not actually the people who truly hold America's security in their hands. They are the most incompentent group of people on television. Their background checks before they hire new people must be done by homeless drunks off the street.

As for how to end 24, they could have Jack fall on a banana peel and get killed so he can be reunited with Terri in the afterlife and then end the show with a scene of Kim eating another banana and smiling....revealing that she has been the one orchestrating all of these attacks against her father with terrorists from the very beginning.

So, is that emoticon a guideline for how you want everyone to react after they read your post?
