"Time Is Running Out"

"I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted.
...Our time is running out."

Like most people who own television sets, I follow a certain number of shows. I mostly follow watch cop dramas such as "CSI: Miami" (because Horatio Caine is the shit), "CSI: NY" (Because "Baba O'Riley" is my favorite song and it serves as the opening theme), "Cold Case" (for its excellent choice of music in its numerous period-piece scenes),... and "Sue Thomas, F.B. Eye" (guilty pleasure... but Sue is such a charming woman). Outside of the cop-drama genre, I keep up with "South Park", "Terminator: TSCC" (Lena Hedley is real good lookin'), and "Battlestar Galactica" (which will be ending this year).
Now, with most of these shows, I don't mind missing an episode here, an episode there. I might moan and groan a bit when I miss an episode, but it's no big deal. However, there is one show currently on T.V. that commands my attention more than any other show has or does: "24".
It's been nearly a year and a half since 24 has aired any new episodes (not including the two-hour T.V. movie, "24: Redemption") and tomorrow, Sunday, January 11, 2009, the show makes its much-anticipated return to television.

I have always been an avid T.V. viewer and I've noticed a lack of shows on which I am hooked. I used to follow quite a few shows closely before their finales: "Friends", "The Sopranos", "The X-Files", and "The Shield" (to name a few). To be honest, most of the shows I watch right now are more for their novelty than for their substance (as is the way witht the CSI shows I watch). Not that they're bad shows... I just don't have the drive anymore to sit on the couch and watch television for hours on end.

Once "24" makes its triumphant return I'm sure that will change slightly.

So, now I'm just sitting here counting down the seconds until the two-hour premier (literally counting them down... the official site for the show actually has a countdown clock).

I don't know what else to write here. Uh... if you're reading this watch "24" tomorrow at 8pm (7 central.)
