What's teh deal with 24??
I see the hype commercials, what's it about and stuff? Is it like something that last's 24 episodes, and each one is a real-time hour in day? If so, what's the commotion? Why the urgency of 24 hours?

All I know is that it's the day in the life of a CIA agent who is handling a case involving a plot to assasinate a presidential candidate. No spoilers there...that's what the promos tell us.

The pilot was maybe the best one I saw for this season. But I'm sure they have had to reshoot (or recut) a lot because it featured a sequence where a terrorist blew up an airplane.
The show is: each week is 1 hour in real time. There is a clock in every scene. Sometimes there are split screens. The season will be 24 episodes - which are the 24 hours leading up to assassination attempt on a big politcal figure. Sutherland plays a guy who works from a government anti-terrorist agency. He has a rebelious teenage daughter and has just gotten back together with his wife, but they are struggling.
The show could be really, really cool, but I wonder if the gimmick is going to get old. What happens next season? Day 2? Do we watch him sleep for 6 episodes?
