  • I've got to hand it over to the FOX TV show "24," I still find it quite exciting to watch. First and foremost, it's the character of Jack Bauer that defines what's good about the show. It's not often that a fictional figure the likes of a James Bond, Indiana Jones, or a Batman, would emerge nowadays and be a popular icon, but that's what Jack Bauer is. Now headed towards the last six weeks of the seventh season, I'm still at the edge of my seat, eager to see how it all plays out. Yes it's true that for the most part, they repeat the same story and plot points every single time. From the mole, the corruption within the government, the frame jobs, the tragic sacrifices, etc... However that's what makes 24... 24! The writers are smart enough to change things up a little bit to keep us guessing, and I admit that I have been fooled by them on occasion. It's still kinda unbelievable that all this action, suspense, and drama could happen in a span of one day, what with people being able to stay awake for such a long time too. Still, 24 is still quite a fun show to watch.
