24: The Complete Series

great collection

Too bad it’s discontinued!

I use these movies in a pretty non-standard way. I first watched these on Netflix when I started working late nights, and I was looking for a movie to watch that was suspenseful enough to keep me awake, but boring/predictable enough to not distract me from my work."24" fits the bill perfectly. Many seasons involve Jack violating the rules (and/or convincing someone else to do so (as long as he says, "please", he gets whatever he wants), and then he saves the day, and then sort of gets in trouble, but mostly is forgiven. There are some adjustments to that throughout all of the years, but not much.Netflix has removed these from their streaming movies, and I've waited quite a while, and finally decided to bite the bullet and buy them. And now I'm on my third time watching the show, and since I'm only watching it with half an eye, it is mostly still as suspenseful as the first time... :)Of course, now I can't see Kiefer Sutherland in any other show (like Touch) without thinking of his role in "24"...I do feel bad for the people who watched this on TV - they had to wait a week between each hour of the show - I usually watch 3 or 4 in a sitting.

I ordered my complete 24 series 2 days ago expecting it to take 5 to 7 working days to get here, but to my surprise, this afternoon the UPS guy came and delivered my package after only 2 days.When the 24 series first came out, I missed several episodes, so having the opportunity to get the complete series at an excellent price allows me to watch the entire story line without interruption from pesky commercials.Also another neat thing is, I originally had watched the 24 series on a regular 27" TV, however I now have a 50" plasma TV with a Bose lifestyle system to watch Jack Bauer do damage on the bad guys in wide screen mode which will be perfect to enjoy the whole experience all over again, this time without having to wait on the edge of my seat until the next weeks episode which usually ended with a cliff hanger leaving you wanting more.At the price, having the complete 8 seasons on DVD is such a bargain, and to exceed my expectations, the package got to me in 2 days which was certainly a surprise, so I'll have to go to Vons and stock up on plenty of microwave popcorn, because with 57 DVD discs, this will take quite awhile to watch all 8 seasons without any interruptions from commercials or the network problems.Amazon, you have a loyal and happy customer.

This set includes all seasons of the "24" TV series. It was used, but listed as being in very good shape. The first season played without any issue. The second season played except for the third hour on discs 2 and 3, which locked by Blu Ray play up completely and I had to turn off and repower the player to do anything. The third season had issues the same as Season 2. The fourth season made a loud noise when it was inserted into the player and would not play at all. I am very disappointed that this item was sold at all and am going to try and return for a refund.

Me compré esta caja a un muy buen precio que no se ha repetido, me respetaron las condiciones de preventa y más.Yo arrendé la serie temporada por temporada, hasta que salió la caja y la compré para verla de nuevo con la tranquilidad que te permite poder acceder en cualquier minuto a ella.La caja es de muy buen material, la presentación de cada temporada también, cada una viene con el disco de material extra, viene un disco especial adicional un un sobre dentro de la caja y la película Redemption.Haberla comprado me da la tranquilidad de que la tendré a mi disposición, me ha permitido darme cuenta de detalles que no percibí la primera vez que la vi y lo mejor es como ver otra película.La verdad es que mi opinión no la tienen que tomar en cuenta, porque no es objetiva, me convertí en un fanático de esta serie y no le encuentro nada malo, no veo muchas películas, la única serie que vi antes fue Raíces en el año que la dieron por TV (30 años atrás).Si no la haz visto comprala y no te arrepentirás, terminaras convertido en un nuevo fanático y lo peor creyendo que eres Jack Bauer, lo cual es muy peligroso.Cooooommpralaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm crazy obsessed with 24 and own all of the individual dvds. Of course I'm going to buy them all again in the complete box set. I love the show that much and then some. However, I expected there to be more bonus items included within the box set. All you get is one bonus disc that is exclusive to the box set that is short and not worth spending hundreds of dollars on. The dvds themselves are not specially packaged either. They are just the same dvd sets that you would buy off of the shelf just stuck inside a box, which is fine but it I hate feeling like I just bought the whole series all over again just to get a stupid box and a lame bonus disc.To me, a box set needs to be more special than that. It needs special packaging to make it feel like one complete set. They really could have been far more creative with the packaging and presentation. On the bonus disc is a short (and I stress "short") mini-episode showing Chloe getting arrested. How hard would it really have been for them to make one more hour to watch? Instead they gave us like 5 minutes of something that really isn't worth seeing if all you see is 5 minutes of it.Don't get your hopes up for new, special packaging, pictures, clips, deleted scenes, behind the scenes, or interviews you've never seen before. The bonus disc will give a total of about 30 minutes of actual interesting footage. The rest of it is just filler. Seriously, its mostly montages of clips from the show that you've already seen.I hate to say it, but the bottom line is... if you're a crazy mega fan like myself and just have to have it because its not in your collection... then maybe consider the fact that you'll only be fulfilling the satisfaction of adding to your 24 dvd collection and nothing else.
