24



The TV series 24 is coming back for their 9th season. The season premiere was on May 5, and three episodes have already aired. However it’s still not too late to catch up because all 3 episodes from season 9 are on fox.com. The 9th season was highly anticipated because of previous awards this show and actors have won in the previous seasons. In 2001 Kiefer Sutherland won a Golden Globe award for the Best Actor in a Drama Series, and in 2003 the show won another Golden Globe award the Best Drama Series. 24 won a total of 20 Emmy awards and, 2 Golden Globe awards.
24 is a great action packed thriller occurring in real time with 24 episodes (comprising a 24 hour day) in every season. The main character is Jack Bauer who works for CTU (short for Counter Terrorist Unit) a fictional federal agency tasked with detecting and preventing terrorist attacks. Each season is based on a day in Jack’s career where he was faced with seemingly impossible obstacles.
In my opinion 24 is a great show for anyone interested in a suspenseful action packed television series with a side of drama.  The new episodes will be aired on Fox Mondays at 9 PM EST.  Being a 24 junkie I would recommend calling in sick for 10 days and watch the complete series stopping only for restroom breaks, pizza and chinese deliveries, and sleep.  However, if this is not feasible for you that’s fine because watching the new season doesn’t require you to have watched the first 8 seasons. 
Anyway, that about sums up what I have to say about 24, and if that isn’t enough of a reason to check it out the Emmy nominations and awards received by the cast and crew should be.  Check it out and you will wonder how you lived this long without Jack, that’s a fact.  No wait, that’s a fact Jack…  Or is it?  You decide.
