## Description

The clock is ticking... Midnight. Jack Bauer, head of the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), is suddenly thrust into a chaotic and exhausting 24-hour marathon of death, deception and terror as he struggles to prevent the assassination of a presidential candidate, find the traitor within his own organization, and save his kidnapped wife and daughter.

Review: My review of 24: Season One Special Edition - This is my review of 24: Season One Special Edition. Now, just to get this out of the way as a disclaimer here at the beginning. I'm a HUGE 24 fanatic. I think it's the greatest show on television right now. That being said, I might be overrating this in some peoples' eyes. But I'm giving you my honest opinion. Okay, so there are three versions of 24: Season One on DVD. Since this was the third version to come out, I thought I'd spend the bulk of this review explaining the differences between this and the other versions. This version has new and unique packaging, as well as a good amount of extras including commentary for the premiere and finale, as well as a 7th disk completely devoted to extras (in line with every other season of the show since). Many of these extras were created specifically for this version. I will agree with the other reviewers about the packaging. On the outside, it's definitely unique. A metal box, with a little clock on the bottom that says 24, and a button on the inside that resets it to 0 and counts up to 24 hours. Love that. The housing for the DVDs, not so much. All the other 24 DVDs have cases that protect the disks, but here for some reason they decided to use a cardboard book with sleeves. First of all, this book is somewhat difficult to remove from the metal case which can be annoying. Also, it's not very good protection for the disks. None of my disks were scratched, but a lot of them were smudged from the cardboard. As a result, many of them skipped or froze in parts. Most of them worked fine after a cleaning though, and I was generally okay with it. It's not as big of an issue as some previous reviewers made it out to be, in my opinion. As for the extras. They could be better, and there could be more of them, but I enjoyed them regardless. The commentary for the premiere, with Stephen Hopkins and Peter Levy was a snoozefest. Hopkins was boring, and the other guy was talking so softly I couldn't even hear him. They really only said stuff I already knew anyway. The finale's commentary is much better because it was Leslie Hope, who played Teri Bauer in the series. You could tell she was having a great time just watching the show and commenting about it, which was nice and definitely fun. The extras on Disk 7 were good as well. Most of the deleted scenes weren't that great; there's a reason why they didn't make the final cut. But some of them were very good. In particular, I enjoyed Carl "Chats" with Barry. That was golden. As the previous reviewer said, the alternate ending was not good. But, what I really enjoyed was watching it with Joel Surnow's commentary. He shed some light on the whole thing, explaining how they didn't like this ending, but explained the entire thinking process behind it. It definitely told me a lot about 24 behind the scenes, the way the writers think, and their entire creative process. That was further explained in the included documentary "The Genesis of 24". This was very enjoyable in my opinion, but it could've been longer. Still, definitely worth watching. Finally, "The Rookie", which is probably the best thing on these extras. I had never seen these before or even knew what they were. It turns out "The Rookie" is an online spin-off of 24 that's more comedic but still has some cool action. Not much in the way of suspense though. Still, these are a lot of fun. Definitely worth watching. Although, they're available for free online. Now that I've covered everything that's different about this set, I'll take a quick minute to run through the meat and potatoes of this DVD set, the first season of 24. Season One was one of my favorite seasons, which says a lot because I love every season. The storylines are awesome, it's unbelievably suspenseful, the action is great, the characters are all very likable, the acting is wonderful, the writing is wonderful, this is in my opinion the best show on television. That doesn't mean it's flawless though. I've had at least one major problem with every season of 24 so far. For Season One, like most people, it was the Teri amnesia storyline. I think it made no sense and it was pretty boring. It dragged down that point of the season a little bit, that is until the awesome climax of it. Despite that, in my opinion this is the best series on television. But, seeing it on DVD is even better. For some reason, it just seems like it's on a whole different level, watching on DVD. It's probably because there's no commercials to take you out of the excitement. But I can very easily watch 5 or 6 episodes in one sitting and have a great time just watching it unfold. No other show has given me that feeling, at least not on such a high level as 24. Overall, I give this DVD 5 stars. Now, most reviewers knocked off a star for the packaging, but honestly I don't think it's a big enough problem to knock off a whole star. Maybe a half star, but it'd still round up to 5, so that's where I'm keeping it. Besides, the extras make up for the packaging headaches in my opinion, so this is about equal to the other versions of Season One. Life is full of trade-offs. Honestly, as for which version I'd reccommend, I'd just go with the cheapest one. I got this for $19.99 during the recent sale. Whichever version of Season One happens to be cheaper when you're buying, I'd say go with that version, because I wouldn't say one version is definitely superior to another. They're just, different, and they have different advantages and unfortunate disadvantages. Overall, amazing DVD though. 5/5.
Review: Enter Jack Bauer... - I'm undergoing a self-inflicted 24 marathon. I have the first 4 seasons on DVD and if things go as planned I'll have Seasons 5 and 6 on my DVD shelf by the end of the month. I did not pick up "24" when it originally aired in 2001, although I had very much wanted to. In fact I didn't get to regularly watching it until Season 5 and after a few episodes was hooked. The shows' premise, that of watching a plot to assassinate a black Presidential candidate on the day of the California primary is most definitely ambitious, and somehow the producers of the show managed to make it work spectacularly. To attempt an in-depth review of the whole of Season 1 of "24" would take up several pages of desertcart's review board, so I'll condense. Jack Bauer(Kiefer Sutherland) is in charge of the LA branch of a government anti-terrorist outfit called CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit). His unit receives word from an outside source that an unnamed group has hired assassins to make an attempt on the life of Senator David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert, whom anyone who hasn't watched "24" will immediately recognize as the guy on the Allstate Insurance commercials) who is a leading candidate in the Democratic Presidental Primary to be held that day. Jack, along with the help of coworkers who may or may not be working against him, must race against time to reveal the plot against Palmer's life, as well as find and protect his wife and daughter, whom the assassins are using as bargaining chips to make Bauer do much of their dirty work for them. This is a very adrenaline packed program and the show is arranged so that each episode ends on the cusp of some cliffhanger type moment. That said, I think if the average person had a day anywhere near as convoluted as Jack or his family has they'd be ready for a lifetime supply of lithium and instant membership to their local mental health institute. The particulars of the plot change without warning and characters you thought were good turn out to be bad...and sometimes good again. There are some particular things I learned from watching this season of "24", some of which hold true for following seasons. -When Jack Bauer says "I give you my word" to anyone, that person is going to die a painful death, albeit probably not at Jack's hand -Jack is very proficient at making suspects talk -Kim Bauer, Jack's daughter, makes a great hostage. Easy on the eyes, probably smells nice, and manages to look good even when she hasn't showered in 24 hours. And she has a real knack for becoming a hostage multiple times just in a single season! -If you're nice to Kim Bauer and can make her laugh, even a little bit, she'll date you. -Ryan Chappelle, Director of CTU, is a perpetual dork. -Short term amnesia is a serious life-threatening issue for any good TV character. It would sure come in handy for days when I want to call in sick to work but can't. "Sorry boss, I have amnesia. I can't remember how to do my job" -CTU field agents are like the red shirts from "Star Trek". There are an endless supply of them and they always die. -No matter how far away a target is the CTU Tactical Team on their helicopter has an ETA of 15 minutes. And they will always appear *after* Jack has already neutralized all the hostiles. -Dennis Hopper does a great impression of Christopher Walken doing an impression of Boris Badenov doing an impression of a Serbian accent. -Dennis Hopper is amazingly buoyant. -CTU has more moles than a fallow farm field -Shooting a tranq dart in your bosses' leg is always a great idea when you're looking to get ahead on an investigation. I'll remember this next time I'm bucking for promotion at my job. -Jack Bauer is like an updated Dirty Harry. Love him or hate him, he gets the job done and very efficiently. All kidding aside this is a real action-packed, adrenaline pumping series to watch and you'll find yourself unable to stop watching the next episode, even when you know it'll cost you a couple of hours of good sleep you need for work the next day. I heartily recommend "24" Season 1 as a great start to a fantastic continuing series!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Incomparable Television Experience!!
*by "***" on December 9, 2002*

24 is the most engaging television experience ever put on the air. I saw my first episode of 24 in July of 2001. One of my friends worked for a marketing agency and FOX television was one of their major clients. In order to prepare their staff to develop marketing plans for the upcoming FOX television season, employees were asked to screen tapes they were given of the upcoming pilots/season premiers. I watched the tape of the 24 pilot 2 ½ months before it was set to premiere and knew then that it was going to be a smash. Any of you who currently watch the series can imagine how rough those months were considering the anticipation you are left with at the end of each show. 24 is a show you get sucked into. Unfortunately, it is hard to get sucked in mid-season or even mid series as several show elements rely on information acquired from previous episodes. Many loyal viewers such as myself have become slaves to the series, and find it difficult to relate all the background knowledge you pickup from the series to other potential viewers who find this knowledge gap to be an unacceptable hurdle that prevents them from enjoying the series to the same extent and on the levels as you. This DVD set changes the rules and gives loyal fans and other would-be 24 viewers the chance to enjoy the first season for the first time, or all over again. For those unfamiliar with the show's concept here is a brief description of how this and every other season of 24 works... ...24 episodes are aired each 1 hour long comprising an entire season that will chronicle the happenings of a single 24 hour day - hence the title 24. Everything occurs in real-time as the show follows several different plot lines that cross and converge throughout the day often employing split screen effects to allow the viewer to experience several different events as they happen simultaneously. The plot centers around the day of Federal Agent Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland - who won a Golden Globe for Season 1) as he attempts to foil a terrorist plot to assassinate a Presidential candidate, and the lives of those persons who will eventually cross paths with Bauer's investigation... ...Needless to say this method of storytelling provides gut-wrenching plot twists and perplexing character developments that will have you developing your own conspiracy theories throughout the viewing. Each hour of the series leaves you anticipating the next. This lull in the action otherwise known as, 10:00pm Tuesday Night - 9:00pm the next Tuesday, has now been dealt with for all you new viewers w/ this DVD set. I'm not going to waste your time remarking about extra added features, bonus footage, and the alternate ending that though enjoyable, not to mention, intriguing, do not represent the core of this set. The action, suspense, drama, and humility present in 24 represents television at its best. Owning this set is a testament to my love of the series, and my intention on sharing it with those not fortunate enough to have gotten sucked in as early as I was. Season 2 began a few weeks back, and I am back to a celebrated Tuesday night tradition. This set is a steal when considering the hours of enjoyment you will have watching it and the seasons of 24 yet to come on FOX. I am by no means an avid TV viewer, as I only watch about 6-10 hours of TV a week (that includes the hour of news I watch each morning), but I make sure that at least 1 hour of that is reserved for 24. Treat yourself to some quality archived television by checking out this DVD set. You will thank me later. If you still have your doubts, see if you can pick up the first episode of season 1 at your local video store, or a taped copy from one of the millions of viewers. If my words have not motivated you to own this DVD set, those 60 minutes will be all the convincing you will need.
