There is no way I could not watch TV (especially the news) or read any sort of periodicals. If that was the case I might as well move to the Appalachan mountains and live like a hermit. Plus, I work in an office where 24 is always the water cooler talk every week.

Waiting week to week isn't as horrible as people are making it sound. I would feel so out of it if I chose to wait until December to watch Season 6.

Okay, I'm probably definitely in the minority here. I blind bought Season 1 a few years ago when Amazon had it for $14.99. I put on the first episode, watched it for 10 minutes, shut it off and sold it. Now I'm thinking maybe I didn't give it a fair chance. Or...thinking back to that night I remember I was very hyper and couldn't sit still, so maybe I wasn't in the mood to watch anything and I should've given it a fair chance. Maybe I'll Netflix it...

I definitely think you didn't give it a fair shot. But, IMO the show is not for everyone. There are the hard core fans like myself who watch it every week talk about it with co-workers and visit forums like these to talk about it.

On the other hand, there are the casual TV watchers who can't get into it or don't have the patience the watch what is essentially a 24 hour movie.

17 1/2 hour movie to be technical.

Ya think?

I don't know of any show that hooked me in the first 10 minutes of the pilot, except maybe ER.

You are in luck though if you don't want to risk your money on a blind buy. Fox did that TV starter set and you can get disc one for $2.30 new on half.com

Normally I'd say give it four episodes, but if you are on the fence this disc is uber cheap. It only has the first two episodes though.

Maybe heh.
