24:

Hi Michael Horton.

I think that i can say that i was in LA for 24 hours.
The Network where i work decided to open the new season with a 24: special with the action of Jack Bauer, the CTU and The Palmer Admistration. The 24 episods were broacasted friday from 22h30 until 02h30. Saturday from 12h00 to 21h45 and 22h30 to 02h00. Only one major break because of the News.
My butt is flat because of this marathon but is was super. I don't know if this ever happened in the US but if its going to be a reality get yourself a ton of pocorns and lots of ice-cream, not to much i had to jump some holes in my belt.

AH, but you see Jack Bauer's Los Angeles doesn't exist. To get from downtown to Mission hills in 15 minutes, at 3:00pm. I don't care IF he was driving 80...Our traffic and these freeways, at any hour (barring 11PM to 5 AM) don't allow for that.

Hi Shane.

He couldn't do better here in Lisbon.
And sometimes we drive more than 80.

To further confuse you, 24 is shot here in Chatsworth (where I live) which is in the Northwest section of the San Fernando Valley and Porn capitol of the world and no way to see No. Hollywood.

:-)

Why certainly...imagine trying to shoot all that action in downtown Los Angeles, one of their favourite locations!

That said, I think they nailed the Mulholland Dr. look in Season 1.

How about Season 3's little snafu? Stephen Saunders has a virus that starts infecting by contact in one hour and kills in 24 hours. He sets it off in Los Angeles, on Wilshire (miracle mile, perhaps?). And he lets his daughter live in Santa Barbara. Cuttin' it a little close, aren't we, Stephen?
