Getting on the 24 Bandwagon

So, for the past 2.5 years, my hubby and I decided to rid of cable all together. The number one reason was due to the problematic service of Comcast (which at the time was the featured package for our apartment complex). We don't even get basic TV or anything. We have a DVD and a VCR (I know, old school!) and an account with Netflix. So, in the last two years we've been able to watch a lot of great TV shows because of Netflix - for instance Deadwood, Dexter, Entourage, Wire in the Blood, and MI-5.

Our new current show to watch is 24. We just started Season 1 Sunday night and have watched 4 "hours" since. I got hooked right away after Mia Kirshner's character Mandy blew herself off the airplane and then another bomb went off exploding the airplane altogether. I didn't expect that and it was reminiscent of other great spy shows like Alias and MI-5.

I'm especially excited that Season 8 is about to start in a few days, so we have at least 7 seasons to watch on Netflix. This show will keep us occupied for a while as we wait for some of our other favorite shows to come out on DVD in the spring and summer.
