I don't know how bad 24 is (I stopped watching after season 1). I'm sure it wasn't as bad as I made it out to be. (I was way more of a TV snob, then.) But I do know it wasn't good. After watching so many great TV shows since then (The Sopranos, The Wire, LOST, Deadwood, Mad Men, the first three seasons of Battlestar Galactica (before it out-24'd 24 in the make-it-up-as-you-go category), Big Love, Veronica Mars, Firefly, etc., etc.) I doubt I'd find 24 any more compelling than I did back during season 1. Still, worse show ever? That's harsh. I mean, where would that leave Heroes?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031273812910794559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400527692256711896.post-48826664358491619272009-11-23T19:32:30.184-08:002009-11-23T19:32:30.184-08:00John, is 24 still the worst show ever?
