Elisha Cuthburt has only been in 1 of the last 3 seasons and I don't think she is going to be in season 7 either. That's why I watch season 1,2,3 and 5 over and over and over again!

Spooks on steroids. It's superb. Watch the first 4 or 5 of the first series and you'll be hooked.

24 demands way too much commitment so never watched it. I have the attention span of an MTV-generation teen these days when it comes to watching TV. Though the blonde bit of fluff pictured above doesn't look too shabby

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or I'm not that fussy . At my age/weight you can't afford to be , I'd happily engage in some doggy action with Kim Raver

Yes, of course I have. It's predictable, you can determine what will happend before it happens, typical for American made programs. I watched it, largely due to the fact nothing else was worth watching at the time (Going back to my point about broadcasters not willing to pay for any locally made quality programming), and then gave up after the episode where Jack outran a nuclear bomb.

So my opinion is based on actual experience of the program. Like all programming that runs into "seasons", it get's tired very quickly.

Seems some people just cannot be pleased even some of the time.

This is, of course, just your opinion, which is completely baseless.

I answered your original question. I stated that I hoped that it would not (Return). Then qualifying the statement with my opinion (Because there are types here who'd have asked me why I hoped it would not return) of the program, that is was (And is) tripe.

As is your opinion of 24. And, it is now noted, so no need to repeat yourself.
