An aquired taste.

The real reason I don't watch 24?
I have a similar problem with Kiefer Sutherland.

I also think the premise is absurd, the plotting soap-opera melodramatic, and the "Techno-Thriller" aspect about as close to reality as a Rambo movie.

But that's just me.

All my friends, (And apparently the rest of the planet) rave about it.

I don't know that I'll ever appreciate 24, but I try, every now and then.

When Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG from hereon) is at the top of it's game, the other Trek series (Including TOS) stand in a very tall shadow.

With seven years of episodes, I would say 15 percent fall into that realm.

If you decide to give it a go, try "The Inner Light"
