Jack Bauer in 2008!

I’m really hooked now.

Aside from the fantastic offerings of HBO, I have not recently been a very big fan of anything on TV. Thanks to Jack Bauer and my new crack-like addiction to 24, that has all changed.

One of my Christmas gifts to Erin was the entire 24 series on DVD. We spent a decent part of our holiday breaks watching Seasons One and Two. I became a fan almost instantly. Erin has matter-of-factly stated that she would leave me for Jack Bauer. He’s fictional! I wasn’t too worried. Now the really scary thing is – I think I would leave Erin for Jack Bauer, too!

In all seriousness, he is precisely the type of hero that this country – and these times – desperately needs. Jack is incredibly loyal – a man of his word. He will not lie to you. And he just might save the world.
