Hours in a day

So the other day I picked up the first season of 24 with Keifer Sutherland (it was on sale for $20 at Target, ususally $45). I can't get enough of it. The action is fast, the story line is enticing and the acting is... well, it's acting. And the best part is, no commercials. No sweating it out for 7 days waiting for the next hour of the story.

You gotta love 80s (early 90s?) superstar Keifer Sutherland making a splash again on pop culture. Has he really done anything worth our time since Young Guns? I think the attitude of his character reflects his mini come-back. His pent up agression for getting lame, straight-to-video movies comes out when he tells his opponents to drop their weapons, or what he'll do to them if they don't do what he says, etc... (I'll tread carefully, Three Musketeers was awesome.) Keifer has found his place. And we love it.

But one thing that seems kind of far fetched is all the events that happen in one 24-hour period. Honestly, Bauer's daughter was kidnapped, like 32 times in one day. Let's get some damn agents on that girl!
