A&E screws up the Labor Day 24 mararthon

Recommended Posts

Yeah, so first of all, why the hell isn't this on FX? At least FX would run all of the episodes in order over 24 hours, which was cool (I actually sat up and watched all 24 episodes when FX did the Season 1 Marathon right before Season 2 started). Anyway..take a look at this mess that I've gathered from my Tivo:

When did A&E acquire 24 syndication rights?

 

I'm fairly certain FOX just "rents" the rights out for a day to whatever network is willing to give the most money/free advertising for the new season.

 

Thank God I have TiVo, as I only saw the last six episodes or so of the season. Even though it'll take the fun out of it, with me knowing how it ends, I'll still be happy to see those 18 episodes I'd missed.

That's not so bad...

 

They take a break from 11 PM until 8 AM, but the entire season is still airing in order.

Everyone check the replay of the episode at midnight eastern. This is the episode with the single greatest opening sequence in the show's history.

I watched it and saw nothing interesting. Must have been a different episode. What was the segment you saw?

Remind me, What is the single greatest opening sequence in the show's history?

 

Use spoilers...for the people who haven't watched

A&E lied to me. My info said that it was the episode where Jack saves Audrey and Sec. Heller from the terrorists.

 

I was thinking it was the episode where Jack goes into the terrorist camp by himself, mowes down 10-12 guys and singlehandedly saves Audrey and Sec. Heller. This entire dequence took place in the first 9 minutes of the episode, making it the best opening in the show's history.

But is it better than

Jack mowing down all of Victor Drazen's buddies and then killing him and his son in cold blood (from season one)?

That would be hard to top.

You want to know what I'm loving about this marathon? A & E knows that a large amount of its audience is going to use a DVR, and as a result, has it fixed perfectly. Every single episode, when you start the episode, it starts exactly on "Previously on 24."

 

I'm on hour twelve now. I'm guessing I have six or seven left until I get to the episodes I've already seen.

IIRC, that wasn't the opening sequence. The opening sequence of the season 1 finale ended with Palmer smashing a vase because he was so pissed at Sherri. Jack's one man war with the Drazens closed the second act.

Starting NEXT monday.

 

A&E is airing 4 episodes a day of 24 starting at 2.

 

And they are starting in order from Day 1. :)

 

I own them all on DVD but it'll be cool to catch an episode or 2 whenever nothing else is on TV at the time.
