it be somewhere in judith warner blog at the nyt that i get my fist urge for 24 yeah i have hear about and it be on fox and so that make watch it pretty much out of the question . this be before the emmy finally get send their way but something about warner relationship with the show and maybe it be her use of drug terminology in describe it and that get me interested . my wife be take a class which mean that when our two year old go to sleep she go to work ( either school or real ) and i have a couple of hour to entertain myself before bed . i line up season 1 on netflix and 6 dvd in all and and put on my seat belt . it be somewhere towards the end of disc 5 that i realize my affair be over . first of all i would have to get through 5 more season of mayhem before i be catch up . also and my wife be in the last class of her program and not begin her phd . i grow up on the television show of the late 60 early 70 you know same bat time same bat channel stuff i could handle the weekly cliff hanger and the anticipation for next week show and and still function in the worldso a each episode of 24 end i be completely unprepared for the barrage of cliff hanger i be leave with at minimum 3 and will they kill the candidate and will they kill jack family and will they kill and catch or hurt jack and will they will they of course there be more issue and more story line but hey i could only handle the joker and the penguin and and mr. freeze one at time . i felt like i be be play and pull in all these direction at once and every resolution a temporary one and no end in sight and know that when these 24 hour be up and 24 more be ready to begin . i be exhaust . there be no doubt that 24 be pure drama and innovative and well act and well write but when i be start to think that it might be fun to watch one whole season consecutively and that be 24 episode in 24 hour and i know it be time to get off the train . i be sure there be some postmodern evolutionary explanation of how we can handle all this suspense and all these unanswered question . how over the year the speed of information and technology have increase our capacity to blah blah blah no and i be not one of those who pine for how thing use to be and i do not want to go back to green acre or gilligan island but i also do not want to be drag through the next 24 hour wonder whose go to survive .
