I missed it when it originally aired, then saw all the seasons on DVD. I had all but forgotten it and stumbled on to it last night. Lots of fun memories. I loved the "Real Time" concept. Each episode was filmed so it would match the clock, if it was 22 minutes after the hour in the show, your real clock at home showed 22 minutes after the hour. Each season was 24 episodes of one hour each starting at midnite, making a 24 hour period.
It aired starting in November 2001 at the height of "they want to kill us and we want to kill them first" period. Now of course they still want to kill us; but so many are more worried about other issues. Jack Bauer was the cool counter terror agent who didnt mind killing the bad guys and cutting off the occasional dead guys finger if it meant getting access to encrypted files. He was also a trend setter as he frequently carried a Lap Top bag with all his gear.
On a side note it brought Dennis Haysbert into prominence. He would later star in The Unit as MSG Blaine "Snake Doctor"
