24

Rachel and I have been watching the first season of 24. After the first night, we decided four episodes in a row might be a little too much. So, instead of watching less than four in a row, we adjusted our schedule. We watch one, eat during the second, lounge and digest during the third, take a walk between three and four, dessert during number four, and one night we even went for number five. So, we have 7 episodes left - bringing us to deciding we need to complete it this Sunday. We figure we could get 2 episodes in if we skip church, but thought that might be taking our desire for 24 a little too far.

On a sort of side note, every episode in the first season we see someone who is on a different t.v show now. Eli is on Prison Break as the psycho guy. Bob? is a guard on Prison Break and kills the psycho. Random girl driver is Abi on NCIS. Rick's girlfriend/roommate is Ameda from Numbers. Senator Palmer is obviously on The Unit. Oh, and the guy who says there is a conspiracy and gets killed giving the key card to Jack is on The Unit. I like crossover, like how so many from Felicity ended up on Alias. It cracks me up that Alex from Grey's was Mossimo in The Wedding Planner. Wow, I watch way too much t.v. and too many movies.

Side note number two is the fact that Jack/Keifer looks so young on the first season. Rachel and I crack up on the beginning of each episode where Jack says that this is the longest day of his life, because we know that there are 6 seasons so far, so he has at least five more longest days of his life.

Tim and I watched the first season of 24 last year and definitely watched 4 or 5 in a day (the only way to go). But in the end, we decided that it should be 20 or 22 vs. 24. Whenever you finish, let me know what you think.

I like how many from Felicity end up in Scrubs as well. We just finished watching 3rd season of felicity and are moving onto the fourth.

1st season: A
2nd season: B
3rd season (first half): B-
3rd season (second half): D+
4th season (as I remember from last time): F

We're still going to watch it, knowing full well that it is dumb. Kinda like watching Scorpion King, the Neverending Story, any Alien movie after the second, or really any movie that goes beyond trilogy (Rocky, Muppets, Friday the 13th, etc.) with the obvious exception of Star Wars, being a double trilogy. Oh, and Star Trek.
