Vic and Jack are Back...and I'm in love!



Well, the days I have waited for have come and gone...the two best shows on TV are back and in full swing. 24 and The Shield have both started and I really don't know how I found a way to live without them!

Jack and Vic...two of the best characters on the Tube are now on back-to-back nights. (Monday/Tuesday respectively) I would like to think that I actually "followed" a show during the down time between seasons....and oh what a down time it has been. But, really all other shows were just place holders for these two.

There is an upside and a downside!!! Upside they are back and 24 is new every week until the season is over....Downside...there are only 11 episodes of The Shield for this season. I blame the BBC for the short season idea. Over there a long season is maybe 14 episodes. But then again, season one of the comedy Coupling was only seven episodes (it ran for four seasons and I don't think it even hit the 22 episode mark). But, as long as we get a quality 11 episodes I can deal with the shortness of the season. Hell, atleast I don't have to wait for two years between seasons like you poor bastards who watch the Sopranos!

As for 24...Finally a show that delivers on it's "Don't miss the first 10 minutes" promo tag. Most times that is just a ploy to pull in new viewers. But, in this case and I am guessing that everyone has seen the first four hours....first 10 minutes included!!



Killing Palmer, Michelle,and possibly Tony....all in the first ten minutes was a shock. Then having Jack kill the assassin before the first portion is over....this all sets the tone for what I can only assume is going to be one of the best non-stop seasons yet.

So far I like the addition of Sean Astin to the cast...can't feel him out quite yet. But, I loved him when he was on the second season of Jeremiah (another of my favorites....Cancelled by showtime...BASTARDS!). Now the only downside to 24 is the fact that after two nights and four hours I have to be a good little soldier and wait a week for my one hour.
