The day is finally at hand. Jack Bauer has returned, and my favorite TV show is back where it should be...on TV! It's been a very long eight months since we left 24 with Jack on a slow boat to China (literally).
Now I have to admit it wasn't always like this, for me at least. Cindy has been a 24 fan for some time, but I consistently avoided getting "sucked in". I foolishly thought I didn't have time. Couldn't make the committment, I told myself. It would just be one week after another after another, I rationalized. I just don't have the time.
I could not have been more wrong.
Simply put, 24 is the best show on TV. One of the best dramas of all-time, if you ask me. Maybe it's because Jack and I have so much in common. Doesn't everyone have an open line to the POTUS?
I've been hooked ever since I wandered past the TV at the beginning of last season and sat down "for a few minutes...just to see what the hype was all about." A couple of months later, I was joining the Official 24 Fan Club and ordering my CTU coffee mug. The obsession was in full swing. Then the season wrapped up in May, and they left me hanging for eight months. No Jack...No Chloe..No Bill or Curtis...CTU went dark.
I did go through a brief mourning period, but all is forgiven now. In fact, I am now the proud owner of the 24 Season 6 Premiere DVD which contains the 4 hours that I just watched on Sunday and Monday nights. Before you think I'm totally crazy, the DVD contains twelve minutes of footage from next week's show! Yes!
So welcome back Jack. It's been way too long.
