Marathon to Start: 24

If you haven't yet experienced the Power of Bauer, spend some time with one of the greatest characters in television history and the show that helped influence the rise of the television series marathon

It is ironic that 24 has yet to be one of my Marathon to Start Features, as I can say that hands down it is my favorite show of all time. I think I have mentioned before, but it is the only show that I started watching from the moment the first episode aired and barring any huge disasters, watched every episode on-air through the series finale. It is a show that came at a time when quality television began to be introduced in to mainstream television, and in fact, much of the rise of it over the last ten years can be attributed to 24 and a select group of shows (ex. The Sopranos, The West Wing, Six Feet Under) that stared airing in the early 2000s. Over time, it has aged a little bit, being that one of the great aspects was how technically savvy the show was, but now when you see Jack Bauer holding a huge cell phone in season one, you almost laugh. However, it is so good and amazing and unlike any show in the history of television and if you haven't taken the time to watch the series, you should do it and you should do it now.

When looking at 24 as a series, beyond it's pure entertainment factor, it must be recognized for its place in television history. It started with The Sopranos in 1999, but by 2001 when 24 first began airing, we entered a new "Golden Era of television". During this period, cable began exploding and becoming competitive with broadcast networks, and because of this, everyone had to up their game. As HBO started producing shows with better writing and a more cinematic quality, audiences began to become accustomed to intelligent series with complex story lines and in response to this, writers and creators began taking advantage of the creative freedom that they were allowed to take in this medium. Television dramas were no longer left to cop shows and soap operas, but they became likened to films that were broken up into one hour chunks and aired weekly. 24 was one of the best shows to take advantage of this new-found free rein and took it to a whole new level. Not only did they target an intelligent audience with a story that was a political thriller, they came up with a concept that was so ambitious, no one was sure it would even work. If someone were to pitch me the concept today, I would say there was probably no way you would actually be able to pull it off, let alone be able to succeed doing so for eight whole seasons.
