"Watch the damn show or the TERRORISTS will release the NERVE-GAS!"
In real life, the Terrorists (not to be confused with the 'Nucular Tarists' that the president is after) would probably just release the nerve-gas anyway, but it's still damn good advice. 24 is damn good show.
Pros:
-Incredibly high production value (compared to, say, that ultra-realistic purple sunrise backdrop they used on House, MD a couple of weeks back)
-Kiefer Sutherland shoots a rich lady in the leg to get her husband to talk (husband was Peter Weller, so of course he didn't talk)
-Elisha Cuthbert
-Did I mention the rich lady getting shot in the leg? (well, there are a lot of strategies used that are much more gratifying to see porttrayed in fiction as opposed to actually happening)
-Somehow manages to make Jean Smart into a TOTAL BABE (I don't really understand why it took her until age 47 to begin being hot)
Cons:
-Mary Lynn Rajskub
-Anyone catching you watching it will assume you've gone over to right-wing politics
-This assumption may be true in many cases, unfortunately
As you can clearly see, the evidence shows 24 to be a great show. If you're incapable of being entertained by things that would bother you if they really happened, then you probably don't want to watch this show; but you probably shouldn't watch the news either.

I can't decide if this is a pro or a con, but, when you watch "24" on DVD, you end up morally obligated to watch the ENTIRE SEASON, as the episodes, of course, never "end" or get to any sort of suitable break.
At least when you dispense with commercials, credits, and the like, it only takes about SIXTEEN HOURS to do so.
