24

if there did do season 9 i will watch it cze i like watching it i think it was the best show in uk

You will always be on your toes with this show! There are so many good scenes, and Jack plays his roles very well! I love how he undergoes life endangering stunts. His character is so intense, it's kind of hard NOT to watch you know?!! The makeup here is great, everything is very realistic yet fantasized IMO, and he's a hero and a family man. What more do you want out of a show?!

Spy152 hit the nail on the head! In addition, I have never watched a show with writing that is not only very predictable, but at times insulting to viewers. How many times do we see Jack shoot a bad guy at 80' with ease in one show, and in another, he can't hit the side of a barn? How many times can Kim be kidnapped? How many times will the president believe his wife/ex-wife despite being lied to in very bad ways? CTU has broken so many laws, it's crazy that it has not been shut down early on. For example, in the earlier episodes, Jack breaks a terrorist/drug dealer out of jail by allowing prisoners out of their cells in order to create a distraction. However, so many people were killed or seriously wounded as a result, including prison employees! How often do we see a mole in CTU? This happens way too often to believe that they really do a thorough background check on their employees. In addition, the morale at CTU would have to stink because everyone is suspicious of one another, and they spend more time trying to figure out what each other is doing, and not enough time on their own work. These are just a speckling of the outrageous scenarios that the writer(s) come up with.

We had contests during our viewings to see how long it takes to determine what will happen next, and at first it was fun, but it did not take long to realize that there was no longer a challenge - it was too easy to figure the storyline out.

If you have a hard time knowing what is going on in the show, or you just don't want to admit it, then you will love the show, no problems or complaints. I for one would like to see more effort by the writer(s) to make the plots challenging, or realistic.

I know many will disagree with what I've had to say, but I'm calling it like I see it...

I became a fan of 24 before the first episode even aired. From the minute I saw the trailers I knew it was a show I had to see. I stuck with the show for its entire eight season run and enjoyed every second of it. Emmy Award winner Keifer Sutherland is excellent and more as troubled Counter Terrorist Unit Agent Jack Bauer. Bauer is without a doubt one of the greatest television characters in history. Sutherland was also helped by a great supporting cast and some of the best written scripts of any television series. The excitement and emotion of this classic television series has been unmatched by any that has come before or after it. If you haven't already, make some time for 24. You won't be disappointed.

The only word that can sum up this show is "Intense" Jack Bauer does what ever the f*ck it takes to get the job done. Hes like Captain America but even more of a bad @$$. Its awesome how he yells "wheres the f*cking bomb" and how he brutally kills terrorists. Jack Bauer is the real american hero not G.I. Joe. Anyways i have only recently started watching 24 and let me tell you, it has so much tension you can slice a knife through it (if that makes any sense) anyways Jack Bauer will always be the man, keep up the great work Jack

There is no doubt when I say that 24 is actually a brilliant show and now ended will be forever unforgettable because of its superb visual style and because of its surprising and adicctive plots although its true that after many season it felts very repetitive.
Kiefer Sutherland made his character Jack Bauer a legend.
If there is a lot of shows like Lost or others that also offers a bonnafield quality that make difficult to say what show is the best ever: 24 is the best show in its genre: action.

This show was awful why did people watch it? So violent and storyline always assumed the worst in people (people from other countries).
Young people idolize Jack Bauer but to me he as a character seemed so inhuman. If you're looking for an idol better go Superman. At least Clark Kent (an alien) was human enough.

i love jack bauer. he's so awesome. it's one of them shows you just can't stop watching

Yes this is how u end greatest action/suspense show of all time and not like those idiots of writers from Lost who suddenly decided to go religious.

Those morons would probably (100%) suggest to 24 writing staff to end the show with Jack siting in church with all dead characters from previous seasons

asking for-givens from God after realizing that he was dead the whole time.

Anyway,what are we gonna do without Jack in the future.

Is there any show remotely close to 24.

Was it a mistake to end a show,maybe now some other Tv company will try to buy the show...hope so.

Sorry about my english.

Any new information on new 24 movie

This show has everything. Edge of your seat action, character development, unexpected plot twists.



Kiefer Sutherland leads an amazing cast, and he does the role as Jack bauer with perfection.



The plots are taken out of todays headlines, and it could almost be a reality show, as most of the things in this show happen on a daily basis in the world of today.



Never became static, changing of characters worked almost all the time with few exceptions.



Other great characters in the shows history were Tony Almeida, Chloe, Palmer and maybe surprisingly Aaron Pierce. He was the only one except for Jack that was in all seasons but the last. It was a shame in my opinion.

Lets hope he will be in the movie due out in 2012.

I can´t stand that this show is no longer more. 24 is one of the best Television´s shows EVER!!!. Even having some fair o mediocre espisodes, almost all the seasons and all the episodes are beyond the superb.

Kiefer Sutherland built up a strong characther that was development and changing throw the seasons. Jack Bauer could repeat the same sentence several times: My name is Jack Bauer!! I work for CTU!! There are terrorists!!... OK. But his role is completely new each day.

And also the show repeats the same formula several times, but each episode grabs you to its engaging plot and that is truly difficult nowadays!!.



See you in theaters, Jack Bauer!!

10/10.

Action packed, lovable characters, interesting story lines, suspenseful and a really great cast. These are the things that this show is so successful. Many shows have great seasons but later seasons start lacking compared to before, but not 24. This is one of the most consistent shows ever.I know some seasons weren't as good as the other but they were pretty good compared to the other shows out there. Not a one of the seven seasons of this show has the cast disappointed me. Kiefer Sutherland delivers a emmy notable performance. Not only him is co stars are also excellent actors and play their roles with much success and it is a pleasure to watch them. Each season has a different story line, which i think is a great idea because it doesn't get boring and viewers rarely lose interest. Overall, this show deserves a 10/10, well, because its simply a great show. If you have the chance, you MUST watch this show.

24 was the first television drama that I ever watched. It was exciting and different, unique from all other shows on TV. It wasn't afraid to push the boundaries of what could be done on television. Its 24 hour format was unique and added suspense to the show. Jack Bauer, one of the greatest characters ever created, knew what he was doing wasn't always right, but it was necessary. He understood that sometimes lives had to be sacrificed to save others, and that laws had to be ignored for the greater good. I believe all the seasons of 24 have accomplished their objective; to entertain the fans and viewers and keep them on the edge of their seats. I do not favor any particular season, I believe all the seasons are exciting and very good. 24 had the ability to mix action, suspense, drama and edge of your seat emotion to every season and every episode. We, the viewers, became connected with the show and felt a part of it and its atmosphere. Alas, 24, like all shows had to end. I believe it was the right choice.



Now in its 8th and final season, 24 still has the ability to do all of the above. With that, the cast and crew of 24 succeeded in their objective. They entertained the fans and viewers for 8 seasons, 9 years and 8 long days in the life of Jack Bauer. I know I will never forget the things I've learned from 24, I hope others won't either.



To 24, the greatest show ever created!



"My name is Jack Bauer, and this is the last day of my life."

Season 1 was great the show was very,very intresting and new. The characters and storylines where great and it really got me interested. Season 2 really steped up the action and anty. The new story was really good and hyped. The one thing about the show witch is weird you hardly think its just one day cause so much happens. Season 3 was really great thee virus got me really nervous and left me on the edge of my seat. In season 4 i missed Denis and Elishas characters but it was still good it lessened a little. In season 5 the story got worse and i lost some more intrest. Season 6 was just plain stupid people coming back from the dead and it turned into a soap!! I hate the way that does the stupid story's. I put it off my faves and even though people love season 6 it just ruined it for me though it has been in decline for a while. Season 7 looks a little cheesy with Tony coming back from the dead but i will continue watching it and hope for it to become the show it was in season 4!! All in all a good series in season 1-4. 5 is OK not up to stantards and 6 is a waste!!

Well, what can I say, I was hooked on the show since the very first episode of the first season. I wasn't very old back then but to this day I still love the show.

The thing I love most about this show are the huge cliffhangers after almost every episode. This show is action-packed all the way and they manage to surprise and stun you almost every episode. The overall plots of the stories do look a like after a few seasons and that is really my main and almost only complaint about this show. It does get a bit old sometimes. I still think the newer seasons can't really match the older ones. My favorite season will always remain season 3. But back to the good stuff and mainly the "kiefer sutherland performance". He truly is a legend as Jack Bauer. There are just a few series that have actors who match their character so good as Keifer's Jack Bauer. (I do think Hugh Laurie as House is THE absolute best)and if it wasn't for Keifer's stellar performance I might have lost interest in 24 a long time ago. But no, aside from Jack Bauer I think 24 is one of the best shows I've ever watched and will watch in my entire live. I just don't really love the newer seasons as much as the older ones though...

24 is my favorite show. I just has a simple premise but very powerful storylines and themes, right from the first season to the eighth season. It truly was one of the greatest shows of all time, and will be missed greatly by it's audience especially me. Jack Bauer was awesome, the heart and soul of the show. Kiefer Sutherland was amazing at portraying Jack Bauer, and the show would not be the same without him. The writing, Directing, Editing, Music, Lighting and other production aspects of the show was top notch. A big thank you and congratulations to the cast and crew of the Emmy Award-Winning Fox tv drama for the BEST gift ever! 24 forever stays in our memories.

24 is probably the most important and fitting show of the decade. It covers every area of terrorism and almost never fails to disappoint week in and week out. The drama is top notch and the action is probably the best of any TV show ever. Jack Bauer is one of the best "heroes" ever created. There probably won't be another show like it.

Season 6 episode 4 is one of the most intense and thrilling episodes of television I've ever seen.



Season 1: 9

Season 2: 8.5

Season 3: 8

Season 4: 9

Season 5: 10

Season 6: 8.5

Season 7: 9.5

Season 8: 7

24 was my first serious investment in a television series. Having seen episodes here and there when I was 12 or 13, a few years later I picked up season 1-5 on DVD and burned through them in a few weeks. It's the perfect kind of show for anyone who doesn't mind a good blend of action and suspense. There never really was any major depth to the story lines and the restrictions of network television made the use of the words "damn it!" laughable at times. The earlier seasons introduced us to the core cast of the show and the situations they were put into made us care for them somewhat. The type of person you are really depends on how invested that you will get into this show. If by season 3 you aren't a big fan of Jack Bauer then I would probably give up on the show at that point, but if you are involved in it then you will enjoy the progression of the show. Season 4 and 5 are the best that the show gets, with 5 in particular delivering the most gripping story line of the show and one of the best cliffhanger finishes that I have seen in TV. Season 6 is considered to be the lowest point of the show and I would have to agree to some extent, but at the very least they tried to shake things up and delve into less traditional plot lines (CTU not actually succeeding for once) than we had become used to. Seasons 7 and 8 are a redemption for the show, delivering some great action and interesting story lines as well. The finale of the show really was one of the best episodes that the show had ever delivered and there is a reasonable scope for the films that were planned to spin off from the show. The only real flaws with the show are the ridiculousness of what Jack gets away with at times and the repeating nature of the terrorist threats. You would think that the people at CTU wouldn't stress when terrorists actually attacked, because they have a reasonable certainty that they will stop absolutely all of their plans in about 23 and a half hours.

This is an amazing, intriguing series. Never imagined that I would like this genre. I got so hooked that I have rented all seasons and seen within a span of 3 months. This fast pace action thriller series are my kind and I do hope that they will proceed with the production of Season 9. Well done to the producers, writers, directors, actors and all those who made these series happen. I do hope to see Jack Baeur (Kiefer Sutherland) back to action. I must say, that Kiefer did a great job and this character seems to be tailor-made for him. Well Done and hope to see 24 back on our TV screens.

I currently am waiting on Season 8 to come out, understand DVD will be available 12-14-10. This was the most action packed, explosive series I have ever seen. Even knowing it was just a movie, the feelings expressed in this movie hit hard. Tried going to bed after David Palmer was killed, had to get right back up and see more. 24 is unbelievable -- whoever wrote this in my opinion made the best movie on tv then and now. I only hope it comes back. Jack Bauer played this magnificently. I am so happy to see all the oscars (sp) won on this show. They certainly deserved it. Each and every actor on this show deserved it. I only hope the TV network can see this was a nationally acclaimed tv show that millions loved and want it back. I know I do.

I LOVE 24! It is an action packed show full of entertainment. Kiefer Sutherland was and excellent choice for Jack Bauer. I personally think the show is mind blowing, I watch the SERIES over and over non stop. Each season is better the second or third time; you pick up things you didn't notice before and get a better understanding of what they really wanted to show you. I am obssesed with 24 and Jack Bauer, but I would never get to close to him I may just get killed (haha). I highly recommend 24 for anyone, over the age of 12 :)

24 is based around the protagonist; Jack Bauer. Bauer is a man who is one of the most devoted field agents to the United States government. The show is set in real time and each hour long episode is an hour long! Each season is a day where none of the main characters ever sleep because of the controversies that they have to entail. I would recommend this show to anyone, if you have a lot of free time on your hands i'd say go for it! It may take you a really long time, but it's all worth it in the end.



As for seasons most of them were very good but season 6 and 8 unfortunately weren't. Season 8 was enjoyable but unfortunately the show was cancelled due to it's extremely well paid actors and cost to produce, however there is a film in the works!



To sum up the seasons Season 1: 9.4/10

Season 2: 8.5/10

Season 3: 9.7/10

Season 4: 9.5/10

Season 5: 9.6/10

Season 6: 4/10

Season 7: 9.6/10

Season 8: 6.9/10

What if this show was a cartoon? Would people watch it more? Would it be more like Ben 10 or Ben 10: Alien Force? I must admit that at one time, I actually watched this show. It was action packed, just like Ben 10: Alien Force. The only difference? This show is NOT a cartoon or based off a cartoon. Though sometimes, I wish certain shows like this one could be converted into cartoons. They might be more interesting and it would be even better if both the original 24 and a cartoon version of 24 could be on the air at the same time. Their producers would be gaining two age groups of viewers; they would be killing two birds with one stone.

i mean this is a good show even though i rated it 6 . 0 thats because its the best depressing show like me i rated lost 3 . 0 and thats on my list for depressing shows so i dont hate this show even its sad and depressing but whatever u get my point i also think the writer was stupid by poisining jack that shouldve happent in the series final season so its un realistic i dont reccomend this show i would reccomend scrubs,george lopez u know happy comedy shows ok i hope u watch comedy





sincerly,oufsta1 bye

Seriously. The writing was cheesy, the acting was cheesy. It's not believable in any manner what-so-ever and it's disappointing where the show has gone, and continues to go. I can't take the president seriously which is a huge problem considering the relevance in relation to the storyline. Speaking of the storyline, it's SO boring.... If I do recall the opening episode of this season was really sweet with a car being crashed into and guns shooting, and it was pretty intense. What happened to that?? it's trying to be so dramatic with this horrible script and bad acting. I'm not a fan.

While past seasons of 24 have been well written, and the stories masterfully crafted, season 7 requires so much suspension of disbelief it makes some of the episodes almost unwatchable. While the characters are generally engaging in and of themselves, their interaction with the events taking place and each other is difficult to watch at times. This season's writing has so many holes and oversights, the only surprises in the story are what the writers are going to be asking their viewers to suspend disbelief on next.



To name a few...



The CIP firewall and and the entire critical infrastructure off the nation being able to be accessed and shut down represents a single point of failure which no one agency, and let alone our [fictional] elected officials (hopefully) would agree to. Further more the effect of the CIP firewall being installed, even if it had merits, would not be done without the possibility of being disabled and running critical systems outside of the firewall.



Jack Bauer handing over the sensitive list of data to an unknown FBI agent that he retrieved from Ike Dubaku's body, after having told Agent Walker and others time and again that they couldn't trust anyone because they didn't know who was compromised? Did Jack forget that Ike Dubaku had at least one person to his knowledge in the FBI on payroll, possibly more?



Jack's response to Bill, telling him that he had to break Ryan Burnette--when in the previous episode Jack was doing everything in his power to not involve him?



Finally, to the point that the show has come to already, General Juma and his men being able to break into the White House as easily (and quickly I might add) as they did?



My gut reaction, despite loving the series up until this point is to not watch it when it airs and simply record the episodes and watch them at a later point in time when there is nothing else on. I have a sneaking suspicion that by joining the writing team of 24, Brannon Braga has introduced elements to the series that do not allow for a comprehensible story without the very active suspension of disbelief. While one could never take every scenario of 24 without a grain of salt this season seems to require the whole salt shaker.



I am looking forward to watching the rest of the season for closure, but am gravely afraid that this is the season that 24 has lost its magic.

The entire Hodges character makes no sense. He can't possibly win a fight against the U.S. government. If he was even semi-sane he'd know that he can't win. Yes, he can delay an attack, but that's it. Eventually, the government will decide that the losses are justified.



Then, to top that off, after the president issued her executive order, does the President explain to her military advisers why she's made that order? No she does not. The president may answer to no one (U.S. citizens not withstanding), but not telling her advisors means they can't formulate a new strategy.



This may be the episode where 24 finally jumped the shark. :(

Overall the episode Keeps u on the edge of your seat but the acting of Kim wasn't what it should of been and Tony's Character twist is way to far out of Character, So I say po po on rating this episode

I mean Kim hasn't seen her father for over 3 years and finds out her Fathers dieing < I don't care where there relationship was the first response out of any person would be to run and hung them right away , but guess that's just to real for the writers to incorporate. I think the writers got a hate on for Tony and couldn't write there way out of paper bag for Kims Character, Anyways just my opinion

The show has a habit of putting the same or similar stories into the episodes. Always about the US government, some terrorist decide to declare war on US soil, nuclear bombs, classified information is leaked, conspiracy, family issues and most importantly Jack saves the day no matter what the problem is. I can understand why there are people who still watches it, its addictive. You want to be surprised, and keep asking yourself "What happens next?". To tell you the truth I was like that at the beginning of season 7. But then as it progressed to episode 18, it got to me, this show is never going to change. I mean the similarities between each storyline is too obvious. The storyline is always going to be about the US government, a female president against all odds, Jack saving everyone. It has lost its touch.

For a show that I used to enjoy watching every week, the past two seasons have become a tiresome and predictable hour of glorified violence, bad acting and plots which verge on pure fantasy. The high point of any given episode is the last ten minutes - in fact, once an episode is written, it should be edited down to ten minutes and the whole season shown in just four episodes.



The writing is no longer intellectual; it's a question of counting up the plot twists and explosions, Chloe's awkward glances as someone walks away, Jack making his usual hero speech or trotting out "I'm a federal agent!" and the typical arrogant and self-absorbed CTU director who ends up apologising to Jack because "we should have listened to you".



Quite frankly, it's amazing that the writers still have jobs. Their lazy style and painfully obvious attempts to add drama really have diminished the overall quality of this show.
