Search - 24 Seasons 1-5 [dvd/34 Disc/sac] on DVD

7 episodes and I'm hooked

"Prior to receiving this as a Christmas gift, I had never watched 24. All I can say is that I am now hooked. The show is simply riveting and I do not see how a person could wait from one week to the next to watch it on regular TV. A DVD is the perfect platform for watching this show. To me, it is reminiscent of a combination of James Bond movies (sans gadgetry) and Tom Clancy books/movies. It is non-stop action. An episode can be watched in around 41 minutes."

24 Has Broken Up My Marriage

"I have been riveted to the television watching this extraordinary collection of 24. I refuse to bathe, eat or leave the house until I can get thru Season 5 before next week's premiere of 24. My wife refuses to speak with me and is filing separation papers as I write. Seriously, as a previous skeptic of this series, I want to categorically state that 24 is the finest program currently on television and the show, cast and crew deserve all the awards and accolades they have received over the past five years. It is a remarkable, remarkable series and I highly recommend it. Ten Stars!!!!"

For about $1.45 and hour, how can you go wrong?

"24 is a direct descendent of the Saturday morning serials of the 1930s and 1940s. At the end of each episode, the villain will spring a trap or something will happen that leaves viewers on the edge of their seat. The nice thing about having the DVD set is you do not have to wait the week or suffer through commercial breaks. This is not Shakespeare nor will you want to do much thinking about the story. When my wife or I comment, the other always says, "You are thinking, stop and enjoy the show". 24 is pure escapist fun, sit back relax enjoy yourself.

The product description outlines the plot for each season; you do not need more than that to understand the bare bones of the series. Being careful to provide no spoilers, you need to watch this in sequence. Other story lines and character development are best enjoyed by staying in sequence. The owners care deeply about the franchise, they put effort into character development, secondary stories and recurring minor characters. This effort adds value and provides the viewer with more than just a shoot `em up. The acting is good; you will develop an affection for the characters that is a requirement of a successful series and this is one!"

"24" from beginning to end..watch Bauer age!

"I am enjoying these DVD's...trying to watch on TV weekly with commercials makes it a long, drawn-out process. Being able to see the action all at once makes the story much more exciting to me. It's way bettr than re-runs, and I can share with family and friends, adding to discussion of the plots and characters."
