I just learned a little bit of 24 trivia. Apparently, the show was first proposed back in 1994. Fox even shot a pilot. I guess in the end, they decided the show wasn't quite ready and they wound up putting it back on the shelf for a few years.

Anyway, the original pilot has been leaked:

I am at work on a computer that I can't even see video and I already know this. This has been posted before though.

It's not a real pilot. It's a spoof.

Sorry. I didn't realize it was a repost.

There's no time... for old videos.

Yet another thread of shenanigans... this would never have happened if there wasn't a strike on.

old school post.
