24

I'm just not feeling 24 yet this year. This might be in part because I'm watching it delayed - I watch Heroes live and record 24. But I felt that way even before Heroes restarted, and I've delayed-watched 24 before, so I don't think that's it. I think it's the format. I don't think the 24 hour format works well when used over and over again for the same character, particularly because the producers seem to feel each new day has to top what happened in a previous day. How many times can you realistically up the ante before it becomes, well, boring? Thoughts?
