I'm pumped! I love 24 -- haven't missed a single episode. It definitely had some dips in quality over the latter seasons but season 8 was brilliant and I always enjoyed the show as a whole. I think 12 hours will be a nice compromise and should allow it to be much more taut. I watched the first season of Touch since I love me some Keifer but it was only okay. We didn't bother with season 2 as I figured a cancellation was imminent and I wasn't a huge fan anyway.
But like, if someone asks you for the time, do you get your phone out or something.
Thats weird.
I never got used to it because I believed.
I didn't like them before, but I don't go out without mine for a day anymore!

Actually, season 7 was one of the better ones again. So not all of the later seasons are awful. But it did indeed become formulaic.
The reason I'm happy to have it back is because there is really nothing else like it on the telly. A weekly action series with movie production values and a great protagonist.
In my defense, I rarely have much time to read forums of recent, let alone post as well.
But the past week has been eventful, with plenty of talking points across all leagues....so I've dropped in every now and then.
The thread here does move far too quickly for me though.
If you look it at this way, we could say the same about every show, especially the ones over-praised in this thread.
A lot of people couldn't go past 5 episodes of Mad Men.

Try Banshee. I find it shit, but a lot of people seem to like for the reasons you like 24.

it's such a popular opinion, humans consider it fact now.
Poor little guy.
I haven't seen Banshee yet but Strike Back (also on Cinemax here in the US) offers some similar thrills as 24 did and it has nudity so there's that!

I tell them to look at their own fucking watch or phone. If they don't have that they clearly don't need to know the time.
But it's boring!

But that's just like your opinion. :'[
Now I'm going to mention mad men in the next 10 pages and how good it is, to wash away that post.
Puts a smile to my face.

Fry if people aren't talking about the show in this thread when it was just announced it was returning its a pretty good indicator of what most people ITT think of it.
Compare the reaction to the return of say AD where people are posting about how excited they are without prompts.
If you're gonna ask why nobody is posting about it...don't be surprised when the answer isn't one you agree with. It was already there in the first place!
*backs out carefully*

Never even heard of it. will investigate
If I had to choose I'd also choose Mad Men as the better show. It's become very soapy, but it's still brilliant.
But the beauty is not having to choose. They don't exactly scratch the same itch.

It is, but expect some reaction when you keep telling people to talk about a show they don't give a shit about.
I watched a few seasons of Desperate Housewives, it scratched the itch in my cornhole.

Seriously, after I read the description for Mad Men, I was expecting boring ass crap. But damn, so good.
I'm still only on Season 4 Episode 6.

Most likely already posted, but these are brilliant:-
The above 'watch talk' pushed me to post them.
Exacltly.
Just imagine if Fergie pulled out a fucking smart phone and started pointing at it.
Fuck you cunts and your derp its 2013.
Watches are fucking timeless (Fuck that pun)

Personally I don't care either since I got tired of 24 around season 4 or 5. I wish they would bring back the good guysIt is, but expect some reaction when you keep telling people to talk about a show they don't give a shit about.

Fry may have bad taste but he is almost certainly right about Mad Men being shit.

Eh for me tv shows has always been better than film for a long time. It's just hard to care too much about characters and such in a movie with the limited time they get to build up some sympathy for them, of course there is movies that manages to do it, but tv shows just does it far more effectively for me and I like having the same characters if I like them around for 50 hours instead of 2, explore them a little more.
