Mmm, so a lot of the popularity of the show (24) has to do with the cheap trick of the cliffhanger. Much like a soap-opera uses. Interesting.
I guess Lost uses a variation of this with its "onion layer mystery" thing it has going on. "Tune in next week when we reveal the answer to your questions with more questions".
The more I think about it the more I realise television sucks.
Your entire post just illustrated how geekyoveranalyzation = nonenjoyment.:mellow:
Everyone else will keep though.:happy:
Re: Just saw the new 24 season commercial!!!
never took to Prison Break :ermm:
24 -> Prison Break
Sleeper Cell's going brilliantly imo, lots of religious babble and stories of how Americans have treated them unfairly, and occasionally vice versa. There’s not been any cliff-hangers either. The only thing that could spoil it would be a big heroic ending, 24 style :snooty:
still like 24 though :snooty:

That last bit doesn't make sense. Work on that please, I'm far too busy to be deciphering bad sentence structure.
It is hardly "geekyoveranalyzation", it is not even over-analysis just a refusal to accept that these shows are anything other than average despite what the fan-boys insist. I didn't say I don't enjoy television, I said it sucks.
KFC sucks but I'll buy one of a weekend. Smoking sucks as well, in fact that might be the better analogy. Smoking is addictive and so is this style of average television, got to have that Nicotine-fix/Lost-fix. People just seem to fall into these routines.
Fortunately watching banal television won't reduce your life expectancy, it will just make it duller. And like cigarette smoke in your clothes/hair you won't even realise it.

You are buying a KFC? I thought you to be the poor college student. You need a period after 'well' and a capital i for 'in'. You need a period after television.......

How does watching television make my life expectancy duller? Starting sentences with 'And'?
Of course it's "geekyoveranalyzation"......

Why are you 'examing' a show's messages? English student or professor? I thought 'its' needed and apostrophe when denoting possession?

Most folk don't have to realize a show sucks like it's a revelation. People watch 24 and like it. I've read critics reviews of movies and those critics have to break the movie down. However, I've many times where there could be numerous flaws and they still liked the movie.
I remember you saying the same about BSG...yet the masses love it.
I actually am a more discerning viewer 'cause the only way I can watch a show is within the limits of TIVO space. If I don't like a show it gets the axe. I don't have time to watch out of habit. I haven't watched one episode of Nip/Tuck and am just halfway through the 1st episode of Sleeper Cell....so far it's not that good...but I'm only up to where he's following the woman.
24 grabs you from the get go. It is supposed to be a thrill ride and a nailbiter.
American TV, as many say, rawks!!! :happy:

Last couple times I saw it he helped save America, not the world.:pinch:

He doesn't save the world in season 4 tho, unless something happens after the 12th episode that invovlves the whole world :unsure: (dont tell me).
Sorry meant season 5.:(

It just comes naturally to me, probably because of my increased intelligence. Don't worry I'm not being condescending I'm far too busy thinking of things you wouldn't understand.
