24 - how realistic?

[chance1]

Love the show

Got hooked a few years ago, caught up on the dvds and I won't miss a live episode now

Just had the back to back 2 hours per - great stuff

Jack Bauer is the man

Wayne Palmer - could the guy be lamer? is every decision wrong or what? He is George W - think there's a connection

Love the ACLU stuff and then the guy who's wrongly sent finds guys who are terrorists being held - good ying yang on that one

Nuclear bombs being blown up in LA

could it happen ?

sure as shit

we gotta wake the fuck up

Jack Bauer for President

Jack Bauer sinks his teeth into the jugular of a terrorist

 

[JayHawk]

It is definite fiction but it has all the overtones of hollywood politics. Strangely it seems to make bush's case to the American people. Knowing most they probably believe it

 

[chance1]

the show is awesome

I guess some of the board thinks it's too right wing - with some muslims being portrayed as terrorists - god forbid

Who knew right wing propaganda could be that entertaining?

 

[JayHawk]

BUsh, Karl Rove, Cheney, Hadley

They knew

Or maybe all of the other much better threads about the show in the entertainment and HT sections.

I don't think it's right wing propoganda . It's just TV executives using what get's people's attention and emotions involved to sell a TV show. And with 24, i'm sold .

Exactly. Although we hate to admit it, alot of people think that most muslims are terrorists. Which of course is completely wrong, but it also helps the TV execs to sell their shows.

But lets not change the point; 24 is a damn awesome show!!! Love every second of it!

That does make sense, but then there is that bash that the Heritage Foundation threw for the show last year with Rush Limbaugh hosting - and it is on FOX.

I've seen a few episodes. It's pretty advanced for television but I don't like the premise of the plot where EVERYTHING depends on Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer has to literally, save the world every season. It's like he is a god or something lol.

I want jacks babies.

Hey its possible.

 

[chance1]

I think I may have discovered that "24" is not a popular show with gay men

or just perhaps with JUBBERs

too bad

Yes...right wing propaganda.Well,it's not the Swedes,Dutch,Germans or Brits driving the terror campaigns predominantly worldwide.It's a drama,and it should be compelling to watch,so yes,the premise is over the top...hey,we've already had two African-American presidents on that show,how right-wing is that!

 

[Negasta]

24 is one of the best shows ever!

I can't wait for Day 6 to start here in S.A.

On the January 16, 2007 edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, the liberal political commentator Keith Olbermann accused 24 of being "propaganda designed to keep people thinking about domestic terrorism to keep us scared". He suggested the show actually has a political agenda to aid the Republican Party, rhetorically asking, "is it a program-length commercial for one political party?" and noted, "if the irrational right can claim that the news is fixed to try to alter people's minds or that networks should be boycotted for nudity or for immorality, shouldn't those same groups be saying 24 should be taken off of TV because it's naked brainwashing?" The criticism by Olbermann followed 24's January 15 broadcast, in which a small nuclear weapon is detonated in Valencia, California by a terrorist group.[15]

shocking that Keith would suggest that - LOL - talk about transparency. Gee I wonder if NBC would air 24 if they had the show - YUP

Keith probably then said that since it airs on Fox which is the same company as Fox News Channel ..............................zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It's a TV show - a damn good one

How ironic that Mr. nightly 60 minutes of liberal propaganda spewing throws stones at a TV drama - what a chump

Lot more shows on the air that support a liberal agenda - again, doesn't really matter - they have to be good - or at least be popular for them to succeed/continue. If 24 was not a good show, it would not do well. It doesn't do well because it supposedly supports the Bush agenda. Actually, if people really perceived this, the show would fail. Please see the polls

Keith O is an obvious blind extremist - and comments like this only serve to make it more and more obvious - he is also a tool. I envision him with a microchip just under his scalp which transmits moveon.org material which then radiates from his big mouth

Monday night - can't wait

 

[Sausy]

You've had two black presidents portrayed on the show in a favorable light,and I'd presume they are Democrats,not Republicans.Any more commentary like that and ole Keithy will turn intio a leftist Bill O'Reilly...he makes good points sometimes,but what a self-important,smug anal retentive!

24 makes my dick hard.
