Since I had the DVD's it was easier...
I got home from work on a Friday night and nothing was on TV. I said "hey, I've got that 24 thing Tony gave me... let me see what all the fuss is about."
I popped in the first DVD and ended up glued to the television for 5 hours. I was hooked. Got up Saturday morning and started right away and watched 17 episodes that day! HAHAHA Sunday morning with just a couple left it was a piece of cake...
Man, I need to get a life.
