Anyways, i thought whay better time to start the thread then on Kiefer Sutherland's birthday-which is today.
Here's a background of my 24 experience:
I never heard of the show until i went on a vacation with a family friend. He showed me season three and I watched it on vacation instead of going to the beech. After i got home, i bought season 1 and 2 and watched them both within a week of eachother before the start of season 4. Every week at my house, we have a 24 party where about 15 of mine an my sisters fiends come over to watch.
But here's the cool part----if anybody can remember in season 4 Debbie (Behrooz's girlfriends) phone ring and it showed a real number, not a 555 number. We called it and talked to Joseph Hodges-he is the man who builds the different sets. Anyways, we were not the only ones who knew about this phone-but my sister called over 20 times a day. She talked to Joseph so much that he programed her number on the phone so when she calls it says "Jen C"-her name is Jen and she is from Cleveland. She and me talked to many people, such as writers and some of the actors. Jen called the phone after one of the award shows (the emmy's i think) and she talked to Carlos Bernad. Once Jen called and talked to John Cassar-the main director. He directs the first and last episodes of each season and a couple in between but he is the main man.
Nobody called more than my sister because on the 24 forums, John wrote a letter thanking the 24 fans for their support and he said "thanks to our number 1 fan Jen C"-you know your the biggest fan when the director tells you. Not only this but Jen and I were on the Jimmy Kimmel show because of this phone. Kim Raver (Audrey) had the phone when my sister called and Kim told her she would be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. On the show, Jimmy was talking about the phone and they held it to the microphone while Jen and I called so our voices were on national tv from the jimmy kimmel show.
The phone's popularity died down from the fans, but not from us. My sister called and talked to John Cassar and she told im were going to LA to visit our family (which was true) and she asked if we could stop by the set-and somehow John said yes. We had a behind the scenes tour of the whole 24 set from CTU (I sat in Chloes chair) to Logan's retreat (we were in the outside place with the narrow pool) to seeing random objects such as being in a helicopter, a fighter jet, and the plane from season 5 that jack landed on the freeway. We also saw the whole wardrobe and the makeup rooms and the props. The props were awesome, we say and touched some of the nerve gas cannisters, some knives (including Jack's), Jack's sunglasses some guns and bullets, some cell phones, and my favorite, the picture with Jack, Kim, and Terry. If you saw the first two seasons, you know this picture and i thought it was awesome that we saw it.
Our tour was led by John and Josep-this is something nobody has ever gotten. 24 only does behind the scenes tours for charities with random tour guides, but ours was with the main man. We met Kim Raver and.....KIEFER. We saw him filming a scene (and we found out that Logan was bad becuase in the scene Jack said to Audrey "Logan will pay for President Palmer's death" and this was taped before the fans knew Logan was bad so this was a surprise) and we then met and took pics with Kiefer afterward. Pics to come later.
Anyways, i love 24 and i thought the thread should start today with Kiefer's birthday.
Anyone got the DVD's? I bought season five on itunes but i also bought the DVDs for the bonus features and they were pretty good.
Also has anyone seen the prequel which was on youtube but also on the DVD's?
I thought it was great.
Here is a link to a countdown to season 6 http://www.noellachoi.com/24countdown/ and the main website is
