Hey all---

I just bought season 3 of 24 on DVD which is my favorite show I might add, and I ran into a "friend" of mine at checkout who saw the box and said "That show is nothing but guns, bombs, car chases etc and has no drama" This coupled with the fact that I saw mostly guys buying this at Best Buy when I was there makes me wonder Is 24 a guy show? What do you all think? Especially the ladies

my wife loves it! that and the sopranos are the only two shows we make an effort to watch together.

oh yeah, she also likes sportscenter...i guess im lucky

Building from a comment in another thread, 24 is essentially a soap opera with lots of shooting and yelling (unless you're at CTU ... then you suspiciously whisper), so it should appeal to both men and women.

My wife loves it a lot more than I do.

Of course, my wife loves Star Trek and bad action movies a lot more than I do, so what the hell do I know.

Geofferson

I few gals I know watch this show religiously (almost as religiously as they watch Alias).

Definitely not just a "guy's show", but then, I generally dislike that crap women are supposed to like.

movielib

My wife also loves it.

Don't you know? Women can watch shows with a male lead; it is only men who can't watch shows with female leads because they are dismissed as a "chick show".

See: Gilmore Girls.

Jeremy517

Uh oh. Does that mean I'm not male?

Boy won't my wife be surprised.

lisadoris

I love 24 (though the last season was a bit weak) but being the sci-fi loving ESPN watching woman I am, I don't know if I embody the typical "female" demographic.

Jackskeleton

No.

movielib

You're right. I've got to stop watching Desperate Housewives.

Sparrow

No, I was eagerly anticipating receiving the Season 3 box set this week and have begun my marathon. Interesting observation Jadzia.

Elpresidentepez

No it's not. In general i don't believe in "guilty Pleasures" or in this case men or women shows. If i like a show i watch it. Alias, the Sopranos, Lost, Desparate Houswives, Arrested Development, Gilmore Girls, The Shield, and 24 are the shows i watch.

superdeluxe

well my gf doesnt really like Keifer...but is now in love with him because he is a bad ass man.

das Monkey

If it ever gets out of hand, just remind her what his love-making style must be like.

Her: Do you think you could, uh, you know ...
Him: THERE ISN'T TIME!

Mrs. Pusser enjoys it more than I do and a friend of mine said his wife really likes it.

driv3

Don't be ridiculous! 24 is a great show. It's actually one of the few scripted shows I watch.

Most definitely a show for both genders. I love 24. And Alias. And Lost. And Desperate Housewives. And Gilmore Girls. I could keep going, but I'll spare you. My point is that like these other shows, there are elements that appeal to both genders - comedy, drama, action, adventure, what have you. Well, not much comedy in 24, but the other three adjectives apply.

I'm a woman, by the way, in case my user id isn't clear.

I should probably also say that I love action and sci fi shows/movies as much as period films/dramas/romantic comedies. I'm also not your typical girl, but that's a good thing, imo. Don't like sports though, except going to live baseball games. Lucky for me my boyfriend isn't a typical guy.

Ug, why do people always have to classify a certain show or movie as a "chick flick" or a "guy movie"? Liking a TV show or movie has a lot more to do with personality than gender. To answer the question, I guess I'm another one of those untypical girls that likes 24 and sci-fi/fantasy TV shows and movies. My boyfriend and I look forward to the new season of 24 equally, but I am a bigger geek than he is!
