doc_newstead Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'm not a geardo, but I'm surprised so many of you enjoy watching '24' for the reason that's it's so unrealistic! I can't switch-off that little part of my brain when I watch it, the one that makes me bore my gf with comments like "Where are the Secret Service then?!" or "Actually, in event of nuclear attack, the President would board Air Force One and assume command there."
