Jack

One might think that amidst a year’s hiatus, a DUI charge / conviction (with 30 days of jail time served), and a ridiculous writers’ strike – I wouldn’t be too interested in Day 7 of “24”.  Not so much.

My husband and I both (now that’s true devotion) had “appointments” set in our phones for last night’s season premiere.  I got so excited when the 15-minute reminder went off that I completely blew off going to my sister’s house, only to completely ignore my 2-year-old for two hours straight (she won’t remember that, right?).

While this season’s initial villain has me more than a little upset (seriously—don’t even get me started), I am dying to see where the story goes!!!  Loving newcomer, Agent Walker.  Jack needs a new hottie who knows how to handle a weapon in his life.  Can’t wait to see Chloe come back (everyone’s favorite social misfit).  And basically, things are never as they seem in the world of “24”, so anything can happen.

While this season technically is underway now, I won’t really be watching it for another couple of months.  We can’t stand commercials, for one, nor the week to week anticipation.  Come season finale time, you will find my family glued to the TV for about 5 days straight (that’s our season record—mind you, it’s literally 20 hours of Jack), during which we will be sleep-deprived, meal-skimping, treason-dreaming, Bauer-quoting, shower-neglecting, couch-sitting, neglectful parents…

…With one more fabulous season under our wings.  I kind of wish I were Jack Bauer.
