I\’m very reluctant to say this, as I am fully expectant of shock, bewilderment but hopefully not outrage. I believe I may be the only conservative on the planet that does NOT watch \”24\”. In fact, I\’ve never watched a single episode.
To pre-emptively answer questions likely to otherwise get left in comments:
Q: Seriously?
A: No seriously, never watched an episode, not a single minute. I also have never watched a single episode of either Sopranos or American Idol, the latter due to an extreme case of absolute disinterest.
Q: Why the hell not?!??
A: Well, I don\’t watch a whole lot of TV to be honest. My DVR primarily records new episodes of House, Mythbusters, Deadliest Catch and South Park. Granted the TV is usually tuned to either the History Channel or the Discovery Channel as background noise. Lately though, their half-assed attempts to convince me that man-made global-warming is real is starting to grate me so often enough, the TV is just off. Oh….plus MN Wild/Vikings games….
Q: Well why not record 24 as well?!?!?
A: Well, by the time I\’d even heard of the show, it was about 47 seasons ago, so it seems a little silly to record it on now. Plus it\’s a bit embarrassing but I actually don\’t even really know what channel/time it\’s on either.
Ok so now that we got that out of the way, here\’s the deal. Since virtually everyone I know seems obsessed with the show and I think they are on episode 368495 by now, I figure it\’s either really good, or they are secretly injecting crack into your veins via television. Either way, I\’m finally curious.
But like I said, it seems silly to start watching now, but I\’m willing to at least give the show a shot before I continue my current opinion that there are infinitely better things for me to do with my time. So does anyone own a copy of the first season or two of \”24\” on DVD and would be willing to loan it to me?
Then I can satisfy my curiousity and then continue pitying everyone and I won\’t have to spend any money to do it.
Let me know in the comments.

stay strong young man… don’t give in… when you start having kids you’ll start having to miss episodes and then people at work will make more fun of you cuz you sort of know whats going on, but not really… why give them more fuel?

You’re not the only one. Never seen it, never had the urge. And I don’t watch the new Battlestar Galactica, either, though the orignal was pretty good SciFi. Come to think of it, I never watch Simpsons, South Park, Seinfeld, and a whole host of “popular” shows. I guess I prefer a bit more content, like “Art Wolf” or more pure entertainment, like “Sanctuary.”

Never watched it. Never had a desire. The concept is so implausible I found it ridiculous from the get go. Never regretted that initial decision.

I’ve never seen it. I don’t watch TV.
