Default 24 is back!

YES! Jack is back!

Unfortunately, the show is now only 12 episodes per season. It is still in real time, but Jack can now take a proper dump now. The "filler" like Jack Bauer driving is skipped over.

PS: Yes, 2000th post!

Not really a big fan of that series.

If they wanted to be realistic than at least four "one hour" episodes would be of Jack stuck in DC traffic.

The original series was set in Los Angeles. We, who live in this sprawling, mis-managed city, used to have a good laugh at the "all takes place in real time" voice-over at the beginning of each episode. The ability of Bauer and the others in the show to effortlessly get from one end of the city to another was hilarious given the traffic conditions...
