24: Live Another Day - 10 Reasons To Be Excited For Jack Bauer's Return

3. The Two Hour Season Premiere

Two hours. That's one-sixth of the entire season, all in one night, all in one sitting, all on Monday May 5th. This means two hours of fast paced and inventive action, two hours of rampant adrenaline rushing through your body, and two hours of what is easily some of television's best drama. Two hours means you won't have to sit at the edge of your seat waiting until next week to find out what happens (well you'll still have to do that, but it will be prolonged a bit), and two hours means you can view the premiere almost as if it were a film, in its full length and quality. Of course, there are commercials, so that does put a tiny damper on things. I will attest that 24's greatest flaw is its constant interruption by ads which tends to hinder its pace and tension-building nature greatly. It also prevents us from seeing what happens during commercials, as it is a real time TV show. Fortunately, as mentioned earlier, old episodes are available on Netflix, in their beautiful commercial-free format.
