It's taken me a full two months longer than the Wook, but I've arrived at the same place: This season of "24" isn't just skippin' over the Selachimorpha, it's actually Butt-Raping The Shark, then giving the shark an exploding cigarette after the deed is done. And then after the cigarette detonates in the shark's face, "24" is handing the shark an icepack covered in hot sauce. And then when the hot sauce gets in the shark's eyes, "24" is like, "Oh, wait, did that hurt? I'm sorry, here's a bucket of water." But it's fresh water, not salt water, so the shark is like, "AARRRGGGH, I'm a salt water fish! Enough already, I just want to go home." And then "24" pats the shark on the ass and says, "You're lucky we didn't electrocute you with a lamp cord, biatch."
I agree with you on this one....BUT, I will still watch it every week with anticipation!

This actually made me laugh out loud. I don't watch "24", but "Grey's Anatomy" has done and gone the same thing, so I can relate. But since it's also porn-lite for women, I'll continue to tune in.

If "24" were a woman, I would not have sex with it.

I'm confused. I only watched the last few minutes of the show last night. How is it jumping the shark?

This is my third season of keeping up with Jack Bauer & Co., and I must agree that the show isn't quite as sharp this year. Exhibit A: one episode ended with the ex-President getting stabbed by his unstable, estranged wife (!), but they haven't returned to that plotline for weeks.
But the weakest episode of 24 is still better than most of the 95% that we call TV entertainment. Shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars have sucked from day one.

...Um, that would be: "better than 95% of the dreck that we call TV entertainment."
Perhaps I've jumped the shark, too.

I think they lost me when Gredenko chopped off his arm. Or was it when Fayed got beat up in the hick bar? Or was it when Mrs. Logan stabbed President Logan? I loved that episode ... until she jabbed him with the knife. So annoying.
