Summary: I LOVE this show
Review: I absolutly loved this show. This show suprised me week after week. It's just like watching a really good movie where your so suprised what happened at the end.. except that's how it was every single week! I cannot wait until it comes out on VHS, so I can buy. But I recommend this DVD to anyone who likes a good "whodunit" show that will keep you guessing until the very last moment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply awesome.
Review: The best way to watch this show is to inhale it, just suck in three or four episodes at a time. 24 consecutive hours of mind-bending suspense. Twists and turns that will have you yelling at your TV screen. Genuinely exciting action sequences. A masterful central performance by Sutherland.
Although I literally could not wait until I got through all 24 episodes, the breathless, shocking conclusion left me spent. And a little sad, as I will never have the sense of wonder and discovery that I had during this initial experience.
I defy you to watch just one episode. This is the single most addictive TV show EVER.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 24 - One Of The Best Series
Review: Simply one of the best series I have seen on TV in a very long time (next to ST Voyager and ER). First eason was awesome and bought it ASAP when it came out on DVD. Also loved the fact that it was widescreen. Second season has already begun and already looks very promising after 3 episodes, or hours

Summary: An Incredible Show- The Best Drama Ever On Television
Review: This most-likely short-lived drqma (I'm betting there will only be two seasons) is heart-stopping. It is unbelievable how hard so many people had to work to make this show work.
By the way, no one could play Jack Bauer besides Sutherland. This is his career-defining role. Make sure you make this one part of your DVD library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Drama Ever
Review: All I can say is that you won't be disappointed. It's like watching a movie with a climax that lasts for 20 hours and never lets up, right up until the final seconds before midnight. Favorite DVD in my collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Where is season 2 teaser?
Review: Overall a great buy.... all 24 episodes of one of the best series ever created. And it is especially nice not having to deal with the commercials. But one question: Where is the advertised season 2 teaser? Unless the little 10 seconds where Kiefer says next season will be exciting, etc, there is no teaser... when I hear "teaser" I think of possibly a few scenes... But other then that, definitely worth buying

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect for DVD.
Review: I've never been a fan of a show that CONTINUOUSLY leaves you hanging every week. I guess that must be how soap operas work. Every show hinges on every other show. There were a couple of times where frustration of waiting until the next episode to figure out what happens got to be unbearable.

The DVD is perfect for this. No more waiting. I can't imagine how many hours are actually wasted in the network airings with all the commercials and plus the first 5-10 minutes of each episode seems to be a highlighting of what happened on the previous episode. THANK GOD FOR TIVO. I'm sure I got actual episode times down close to 40 minutes fast forwarding through all the blubber.

So, purchase the first season on DVD. I wouldn't even want to try and watch this when they start reruns. And for the second season, well, that's what the TIVO is for.

It's really great that more and more TV shows are being re-released onto DVD. It's really amazing that season 1 is already on DVD, considering there have only been a few episodes into season 2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Incredible Day!
Review: 24 is the Best Drama Series that I have ever seen and it makes perfect sense that Fox would release the marvelous first season on DVD. I confess that I missed several episodes last year of the series so it was great for me to watch the episodes that I hadn't watched as well as to rewatch the episodes I had.
24 plays out exactly like a good book, ending with a cliffhanger in every single episode leaving you desperate for more! Good thing is, with the first season on DVD you can watch them one after one, not having to wait a whole week like last year when it was on TV.
I know that I watched several episodes one right after the other over and over, making 24 play like a REALLY long movie!
Another great thing about having the first season on DVD is that there are no commercials meaning, where as each episode used to run for a hour, now they only run for about 40 minutes, meaning you can watch more without the annoying advertisements!
Another good thing is that the entire season on DVD is presented in anamophoric widescreen, making it really like a movie!
The "Special Features" are a two-minute alternate ending with optional commentary and a one-minute season one introduction by Kiefer Sutherland. My only gripe about this otherwise expertly crafted six-disc set is that it offers no commentarys for each individual episode which is sort of a letdown.
But nevertheless, this is a boxed set that all action lovers should own! The story is spectacular and the design with the real time concept is totally original and works great to the film's advantage! The performances are for the most part, steller, with regard to Dennis Hopper's horribly botched accent in the last 5 episodes. 24 is certainly a day (or season) to remember!
Here's hoping that Fox will release a DVD set of Season Two as well!

Summary: BEST SHOW EVER!!
Review: 24 is the best drama I have seen in a LONG time. The suspense is great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Series on TV....period!
Review: Just to give a background, I was born in 1973, and the TV series' I mostly highly rate have been
1. St. Elsewhere
2. Twin Peaks
3. Northern Exposure
4. ER
5.Mad TV
6. The State (let's get this comic gem released on DVD!)

(although not in yearly order, of course)...
I have never been one to laud the criminal law/crime type TV shows, so this was an unexpected thrill for me. This is definitely one of the most intellectually thrilling shows I've ever witnessed on television. I was hooked from the first hour...i think it surpasses all the above shows for many reasons...it has so many plot twists and turns....the split screen imagery shows us more than we can see in one turn...one thing turns out to be another thing entirely, and it leads us on and on, then twists again....i didn't see it on TV, since I missed the first episode, and I'm glad I chose to see it on DVD...it brings the plot into clarity and really is the prime way of seeing the whole twisted story brought into play...
the plot leads you on and on....and this simple pleasure, this leading on, will find dedicated viewers wanting more...and those who may get lost behind will be bewildered....if anything, i give it a massive thumbs up!
