Movie Theater Jack is Back!

24: Drone Another Day

President BUY GOLD, husky Bauer, moles, Edward Assange overtones, goth Chloe, implanted switches, improbable plots, C(IA)TU getting blowed up, etc etc.

Still better than most other TV shows.
 
HB, no insult given, none intended.

You asked if you were the only one who had never seen an episode of the show. You aren't; I've never watched it either.

Anything more, and I'm at a loss. If this pissed you off, I absolutely apologize, but I don't get how I managed that if it did.

Personally, it's just amazing how many shows are doing the Lost mantra; never going anywhere, never resolving anything.

They just blunder about, dragging the audience absolutely nowhere; while some actually well written stories die after their first or second season.

I completely misinterpreted the meaning of your post. I was frankly shocked at how I had interpreted your message's meaning as looking back over the last 7-ish years we have had several dialogs (gun-control/survival-with your-my kids/NY/etc.) and typically tend to agree 99% of the time. We'll have to chalk this one up to the way communications can break down when not done in person.

To your other point: I agree (as usual). I'm currently fighting that "blundering" show problem with the wife who loves a show called 'Grimm', that is going no-where FAST and 'Once Upon A Time' which picks a single conflict and then rides that conflict for a whole season while neglecting the cast's development. To that point, I am really enjoying 'Vikings' on History Channel and 'Turn' on AMC is growing on me but I'm still constantly disappointed with 'The Walking Dead' which has the same problem you mentioned that 'Lost' did.
 
Never resolving anything?
Jack saves the United States (if not the entire world), every single season!!
He's a very busy man.

I know you're joking but it actually goes to Greg's point. i.e. it's predictable and boring.

I already know the plot to this and every other 24 season and I've never even seen the show. They all go like this: Jack is a avg joe and just trying to live his life but terrorists are threatening the country so jack is begrudgingly called to duty. He shots some people and gets banged up a lot in the process. The gov will think he's a terrorist to and will be after him as well. He might even have a car chase and a bed down a hot lady in the process. Finally there will be a big battle at the end and jack will barely make it out but he will and everyone will be happy but no one will know because it was all top secret.
 
Greg, what were the good ones that were cancelled after a season or two? I need to see if they're available on iTunes or Netflix.

Thanks!

Jack is Back!

I wouldn't dare speak for Greg. I'm sure his taste is a bit more refined than mine, but I'm quite well "read" in regards to Netflix.

Breaking Bad

Jericho

Dexter

House

Bones

Alphas (it got cancelled, so don't watch if you don't want to be left on a cliffhanger)

Revolution (it's kind of going downhill in my opinion, but still better than most junk)

Spartacus (the showtime series... Or maybe it was HBO.... I don't think it is on Netflix anymore either way. It comes and goes)

Those are the only shows, that I can think of, that held my attention long enough to watch every episode. After adding up the countless hours I've wasted watching Netflix, I kind of regret not doing something more productive with my time....
