Trivia:
The actors are not told in advance as to what will happen from episode to episode so none of them know whether or not they will be written out of the series more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the Season 5 episode where president Logan intends to send his wife to a mental hospital, he decides the last moment to change his mind and pick up his wife who already sits somewhat paralyzed in the car, while assistants and agents pack her bags etc.. We then see the split-screens of the actual occurring events, in especially President Logan standing in his office/retreat pacing and thinking, therefore clearly inside the house. But when the scene cuts complete to Martha Logan in the car, suddenly the President turns up at the car and gets his wife out of it, to tell her he is not going to send her to the hospital. This appears only seconds of real-time later, after we saw President Logan still being inside the house. To the reach the car in this short period of time was not possible for him. more

24 is the best drama television has ever seen, 16 April 2005
10/10
Author: aparker62687 from New York

This is the most creative, intelligent, well-written, unpredictable, and suspenseful program that I have ever seen, and this is coming from a man who watches a lot of television.

Throughout its four seasons, 24 provides a cliff hanger at the end of most episodes to keep you attached and has provided some of the most unpredictable twists that I have ever seen, including the ultimate shocker at the end of the first season (which I won't go into because somebody may read this before watching the first season).

As far as acting goes, there isn't a weak-link on the show. Kiefer Sutherland leads a cast of exceptionally impressive and compelling actors/actresses that make the show great week after week.

I would strongly recommend that if you do not already watch 24, start now because you're really missing out.
