It is a Monday night and that can mean only one thing—Jack Bauer is on. If you do not know what I am talking about, I am referring to the main character in the popular Fox primetime show called 24. I know several people that dig that show. They think it is better than going and working out at the gym.
Personally, I have never watched a full episode of 24. My friend, DT, thinks I am crazy. He constantly tells me, “How can you not watch 24? It’s the best show ever!” If I am going to give DT any credit, it will only be for the inspiration of this blog entry. So, this leads me to this quandary—what will I get out of watching 24? Or would it be more of a sciolism?
Now, I do not know if watching 24 will be an enlightening experience or not. I can say with certainty that I do not have any time to sit around and watch another show. I am already having problems keeping up with Criminal Minds, NCIS, American Idol, and Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Also add that I need to make time for my Facebook addiction. Where will I find more time to watch another show? It sounds like I would have to sacrifice something and I do not know if I can go down that path.
Granted, I can hear DT arguing why I should give 24 a try. His strongest and probably only defense would rest on this fact: the show is action packed with enough suspense to keep you wanting more. Ok, I can take this statement to be true. This leads to another problem. I start to watch 24 and I want more. It sounds like another addiction in the works and I have enough going on with Facebook. What now?
I can hear DT saying that the only way I will know if this will be an addiction is to try the very first episode and see what happens. I will concede to this and issue this challenge. If I am going to watch 24, I think someone should lend me the complete first season or else it would be a /fail. After that, I will make my final judgment. It is the least I could do.
Until next time, maybe you should give 24 a try too. Who knows…we might actually like it and want more.

Rondi, I have never watched this show, but I will admit, I am intrigued. Like you, I don't have time for one more thing...but you are very persuasive. (I'm starting to wonder if you might be a bad influence)
