Am I the only one who doesnt watch 24

[Bossanova]

I have never seen it, and I have no desire to ever see it.  Is there something wrong with me?  I just don't get it at all

[Gvac]

<p>Add me to the list.&nbsp; </p><p>I know I shouldn't judge something I've never seen, but from what I've heard it sounds boring as sin to me.&nbsp;</p>

[mikeyboy]

I don't watch it either.&nbsp; I watched the first half of season 1 on DVD and completely lost interest.

[Hottub]

<p>Me too.</p><p>Not saying it sucks, just have better things to occupy my time.</p>

[dereckfishboy]

I saw the first episode and it just couldn't hold my interest. I'd rather watch The Shield. <br />

[FUNKMAN]

i doesn't watch it either... have not even a clue what it is about. i'm guessing a bunch of 24 year olds doing a bunch of nutty stuff....

[zildjian361]

i dont watch because i don't like sutherland&nbsp;

I just cant get into it. I hear its the best thing on tv. something about a show that takes place in real time seems interesting but watching the one episode it seems like way too much goes on in 1 hour and cant be believable. But its tv so whatever.

[Jennitalia]

Love Jack Bauer.

[TheArtOfTheFU]

Never seen it, but then, I dont watch any TV, so whatever.

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>Anyone who posts that they don't enjoy 24...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy your sleep tonight.&nbsp; Too bad Jack Bauer won't allow you to wake up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Lumber]

24 sucks ass...The End

[Reephdweller]

<p>I have never seen even a single episode or even part of an episode.</p><p>Not that I wouldn't, I just never have.</p>

[PapaBear]

I've never seen it.

[hunnerbun]

<p>Never seen a single episode either.... Does that make me a bad
Canadian for not supporting our Canadian actors?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Meh...whatever....<br />
</p><p>Now Prison Break...thats a whole 'nother story!</p><p> </p>

<p>It's one of the few shows where every single person I know loves it. </p><p>It's one thing to see it and not like it. If you've never checked it out though&nbsp;you're really missing out.</p><p>Rent season one just to see what all the fuss is all about. I did that and watched it all over&nbsp;one weekend. Couldn't stop watching.</p>

[TheMojoPin]

<p>I watched the first two episodes, got up during a commercial break in the third to get a drink and never came back.&nbsp; Kiefer was faithfully as awful as I expected him to be and the whole thing was just ridiculous.&nbsp; I hate gimmicks and I hate shows that confuse frentic and overcooked &quot;tension&quot; for genuine drama.&nbsp; I understand why people would like it but personally, it bored me to tears, and I honestly think Kiefer Sutherland is one of THE worst actors to keep getting major screen work in the last 20 years.</p><p>And I'm the opposite of Bama...I don't know a single person that likes it or still watches it.&nbsp; The viewers of this thing are like Nixon voters, man.</p>

[silas]

<p>I became a big fan as of last year;</p><p>Previously, whenever i caught 4 minutes here, an ad there, it seemed too much like any of the current many slick action-oriented shows.....and in some ways, it is....and yeah, some plot points are unrealistic.</p><p>However, i think the difference is that it is widely seen as being a gem in it's genre (Even&nbsp;people who don't like SF can watch the original StarWars, or read Chandler even if mystery books bore them)and has a huge audience because it even draws people like me who don't otherwise care for those type of TV shows.</p><p>I know that some posted that&nbsp;watching multi-eps weren't enuf to get them interested, but the DVD marathon route is&nbsp;still my suggestion...most preferably starting&nbsp;with season I.</p>

[stickyfingers]

<p>The Problem with 24 is that unlike an episode of Seinfeld, Friends, King of Queens, Cosby Show, etc....you cant just watch one episode here and there of 24.&nbsp; Every episode has to do with the one before it.&nbsp; Not one episode can stand alone as the hit.&nbsp; No one I know can name thier favorite episode of 24.&nbsp; They cannot be viewed independently.&nbsp; I love 24.&nbsp; I allow myself to suspend disbelief that Jack can drive from a deserted area to the inner city of LA in one commercial break.&nbsp; But the overall story line is worth my while.&nbsp; <br /><br />I implore some of you naysayers to start watching from day one.&nbsp; </p><p>That's another thing, if you didnt watch from the beginning (series 1) it would be hard to know all the background stories.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jack Bauer fan since day one!</p>

[green_bay_jake]

never really got into it.

[HeyGuy]

I'm a little surprised. Like I said I dont like the show. But everyone I know does. But I'm surprised that the board seems to be 50/50 split on liking it or not even caring about it. Very interesting!

I was in Saudi Arabia during&nbsp;last season and therefore didn't watch this season until I get caught up.

[Gaia]

<p>Me neither.....It was on the tv once and all I could think of was Robocop when Peter Weller came on screen.......</p>

[spot]

Martha Stewart doesn't watch it either, she's too busy with ADF.

[landarch]

Never seen it, never even paid attention to the commercials.

[fleshysilo]

Never saw a minute of it, turn my back to the commercials

<p>It's fun escapism.&nbsp; Suspend your beliefs!&nbsp; </p><p>Or, to be more poignantly, it kicks ass.&nbsp; Every season has gotten better and better.&nbsp; </p><p>If you missed last season, you missed one of the best &quot;love-to-hate&quot; bad guys&nbsp;on a&nbsp;television series in a long time, President Logan, played brilliantly by Gregory Itzin, who was ROBBED of an Emmy.&nbsp; (Alan Alda...please!... proof that the emmy voters probably didn't even watch 24 and voted for a name.)</p>

[Tall_James]

<p>Love 24.</p><p>I'm just sorry we'll never see the Chloe/Edgar sex scene.</p>

[Don Stugots]

[FUNKMAN]

i'm waiting til they come out with 25...
