Title: 24
Post by: Saintaw on February 24, 2005, 02:48:33 PM: I'm hooked. Just started 3rd season right now.

I sent my Dad the 1st Season, the poor git watched it all in one row :D (I have to show him how to use the DVD remote I think ;))

They *realy* have a knack to end an episode on a breathtaking moment... have to force myself not to enter that next DVD in the player...

I tried 24 for a few episodes but couldn't get into it.

Now the O.C. is garbage you can really sink your teeth into. There's even hot-chick lesbianism.

Post by: Nash on February 24, 2005, 07:02:37 PM: Are you kidding me?! That show kicks ass! Like when Coop starts dating the Mexican gardener but her mom would have none of it so she tries to get Coop comitted to a psych hospital which just causes Coop to start drinking while Seth and Summer break up like five times in a row while Sandy almost cheats on his wife and Ryan beats the hell out of people.

That's bleeding edge television.

Post by: Glasses on February 24, 2005, 08:13:15 PM: I like my series to have a certain degree of guidoism and people getting whacked for no apparent reason, and explitives in between every other sentence.

Post by: SOB on February 24, 2005, 08:18:39 PM: Reruns? It sounds more like a soap opera. OK, maybe soap opera reruns. :D

Post by: spitfiremkv on February 24, 2005, 09:22:34 PM: I never caught a single episode of 24. What channel is it on? What's that show about?
I see its commercials all the time but it looks llike the generic "one guy solves crime" thingy .
what's so special about it?

Post by: Saintaw on February 24, 2005, 10:09:52 PM: O.C, Whutsat? Is it like a mexican version of E.R.?

Spit, the concept is new (at least for me) a season is 24 hours in a row (realtime). It's pretty well done, and it's the "soup du jour" since it's mostly about terrorism.

I couldn't wait for the "wife" to die in the 1st series... what a whiney b***ch! And don't let me get started on the presiden't ex wife...

OT: I get most of my TV time on DVD, Cable TV here is the worst I've seen in my life (I have the choice between Lulu, French or German television ... *gag*). So, if you guys have series you recommend that are out on DVD, speak up please!

Post by: spitfiremkv on February 26, 2005, 10:43:36 AM: do they factor in the time he spends on the crapper?
that'd be interesting.

does he ever sleep?
