Excitement over TV?

Several years ago, I was walking through Blockbuster checking out new movies, when I stumbled upon the TV series, 24. I remembered seeing something on TV about it and decided it looked like a pretty good show. I rented the first DVD, with the first four episodes on season one. Each episode is about 45 minutes in length because the basis of the show is that the audience is experiencing 24 real time hours in the life of Jack Bauer - played by Keifer Sutherland. After watching one episode, I was entirely addicted, and immediately watched the other three. I went back to Blockbuster that night and rented the next disk.

24 is broadcast on Fox, and they should hire me because I have gotten so many of my friends into the show. I talked about it nonstop and my friends picked up on my excitement. For my birthday that year, they bought me season one, and season two. I now refuse to watch the show on TV due to the chance I might miss and episode and be entirely lost for the next one. I simply wait for the box set to come out and I buy it at first chance.

Well, that time of year has rolled around. I think God ordained it, because my birthday is Dec 2nd, and the box sets are always released at the beginning of December. So, thanks to my wonderful wife, we have pre-ordered season six and I got an email this morning saying it has been shipped. The best part is that my wife, Alisha, hates watching TV. She thinks getting into TV shows is a waste of time. She is probably very correct, however, she is now addicted to the show as well and we are anxiously awaiting for its arrival.

I have started re-watching season five to catch up on the plot line. Check it out if you haven't seen the show.

Sorry, this post didn't have any real depth to it - actually it was quite shallow, but I just LOVE that show!
