Stopped into Costco today with my $10 off TV boxsets coupon and Seasons 1 and 2 were sold out and they had 3, 4, and 5.
Rats.
I'll try back later this week (but I doubt they'll get more).

He's obviously referring to....
Oh, I see what you did there.

Season 1 was great. And the cool thing about the first 12 episodes is that it actually is VERY close to really being real time, unlike now where everything in LA is 5 minutes away.

oh my, the first season is brilliant. It's the only one I watched as it aired. The others I caught on DVD. There are other seasons I enjoyed just as much, but I think S1 is the most plausible, and it's just essential 24.

And, yes, season 1 was the best.

1. Jack Bauer is, indeed, one badass motherfucker.
2. While Elisha Cuthbert is incredibly hot, Kim Bauer is such an annoying character that it's just not worth bothering with...

With the semester over and grades and reports turned in, I sat down Saturday (12/15) and started watching "24: Day 1"...
... and I just finished watching it a few minutes ago.
24 episodes in 5 days... wow! Call me a couch potato.
I must say that I enjoyed it. Well, most of it... some of the characters started to get on my nerves (Mrs. Palmer, Keith, George, etc.) but in the end it could be overlooked. They needed to drive the story somehow. I think that it laid a good foundation for the characters that matter (Jack, Kim, Nina, Sen. Palmer, and George). Can't wait to see what the other seasons have to offer.
Costco has the first 5 seasons in a special case with a CTU t-shirt and a book for $160 (it was $40 off a bit ago, but I missed it) and I'm trying to get my wife to get it for me for Christmas... but I doubt it.
I borrowed the first season from my cousin, but he doesn't have the other ones. So here's hoping Santa grants my wish.
I've got three weeks until school starts again. I could knock a few more seasons out.

Don't know how much of a collector you are, but remember if you don't get these to buy, you can rent them all through Netflix or Blockbuster and probably save a great deal of money.
But if you love them, then buy them. I proudly own all seasons except 6.

I can get the first 3 seasons of '24' at Costco for $20 a pop, but I had a friend tell me that I can skip Season One and just start with Season Two and not be lost.
Would you agree?
UPDATE: I finished watching Season 1 today (12/19/07).
