Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist.  Throw some ground balls.  More democratic.

Things are scary.  Collapse is all around us.  Can Obama survive a presidency?

I believe it's called 24.

Depends if you like a lot of action and are willing to suspend some disbelief (although that's more an issue with later seasons).  Season 1 is definitely worth watching, the rest of the seasons are pretty good to just ok.  Season 5 was a lot of fun, but not necessarily the most believable.

Season 3 was its finest hour(s).

1 3 and 5 (mostly for the dastardlyness of the President and his relationship with his wife) are the most fun. The sixth got dull, despite the presence of Robocop.

Not really. Maybe the last 3rd was great, but the lead-up was crap. The only worthwhile season was the first.

Seasons 2-4 pretty much blur together in my mind.
