The series, 24...give me a break (as John Stossel would say)!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first season.  I rented it on DVD and would watch 4 or 5 episodes a night because I couldn't wait to see what happened next!  It was freakin awesome!

Then along came season 2 on DVD and I rented it...trying to contain my excitement as I put the disc into the player.  What would happen to Jack this time?  Who will be the bad guys?  Will he get over his wife's murder?  Where's Nina this time?  Will Kim do something useful this time or just look pretty?  And then I watched it...wait a minute, haven't I seen this plot before?  The season wasn't too bad, but moved from a must-watch show to a nice-to-watch. <shrug>

Then along came season 3.  Hmm, doesn't this plot look the same?  Didn't Jack do that the last 2 seasons?  Needless to say, I watched the first 8 or 9 episodes then just let the rest of the season pile up on my ReplayTV.  That is until I needed the space and deleted them...

And now we're at season 4.  Still longing for the nostalgia of season 1 and liking Keifer Sutherland as an actor I gave it a shot.  For 2 episodes.  That's it.  No more.  I hoped that a brand new cast might bring new life to the series, but alas my hopes were dashed!  Only a drunk rhinocerous could enjoy this drivel.

Anyway, if you're familiar with the series here's a pretty funny/interesting/sarcastic synopsis by Dave Barry of the 4th season.  Some funny stuff in there if you are (or were) a fan of the show...
