24 is unique as it employs fast-paced and complex episodes shown in 'real time", with each season depicted as a 24-hour period in the life of its hero. Often, the action switches between different locations tracing simultaneous scenes of different characters involved in the same plot. As a result, episodes may at times be distracting and confusing. Nevertheless, viewers like myself are glued to their sets every week in following the life of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), who works with the U.S. government as he fights domestic terrorist threats.

Over the past season, however, before the writers' strike, I missed many episodes due to my blogging addiction. I tried to look for reruns in local TV networks but could not find any. My problem was solved when I discovered that I could watch and download '24' episodes online. The site contains the most complete online episodes of '24' that I have found yet, from the pilot
episode to the end of season 6. There is even a preview of season 7, which is scheduled to premier in January of 2008. And the best thing about this find? It's free!

For many of you who have been a bit rusty, here is a recap of the past six seasons of '24', plus a preview of 24 Redemption and season 7 (all courtesy of Wikipedia):

'24' Season 1: Season 1 begins and ends at 12:00 AM, and occurs on the day of the California presidential primary. Jack Bauer must protect Senator David Palmer from an assassination plot, and rescue his family from those responsible for the plot, who seek retribution for Jack's and David Palmer's involvement with a covert U.S. mission in the Balkans.

'24' Redemption: Redemption‎ is an upcoming television movie, bridging the gap between the sixth and seventh seasons of 24. Set partially in Southern Africa, Jack finds himself caught up in a military coup whilst trying to find somewhere he can 'be at peace'. Meanwhile, in the United States, it is Inauguration Day, where Allison Taylor is being sworn in to office.

'24' Season 7: Season 7 will begin and end at 7:00 a.m. and will begin airing in the United States in January 2009, having been delayed by the writers' strike. The producers of the show have announced that there will be a 2-hour season 7 prologue, 24: Redemption‎, bridging seasons 6 and 7, to air on November 23, 2008. The initial back story will feature Jack Bauer on trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Meanwhile, a major national security incident occurs when the firewall responsible for protecting America's government computer infrastructure is breached. It will also feature the show's first female president, Allison Taylor, played by Cherry Jones, and ex-main character Tony Almeida will be returning to the show despite his apparent death in season 5. This will be the first season to see Jack not working with CTU because it was disbanded by the U.S. government at some point after the events of Season 6.
