My sons and I started watching “24” last season, but after about 8 episodes we got behind and never caught up. This week I was cleaning up the TIVO and was going to delete the remaining episodes when Eric came up with the right way to watch the show:
“Why don’t we just watch the first couple of minutes of each show where they do the ‘last week on 24…’ summary?”
Brilliant! In less than an hour we had seen every moment of significance, courtesy of the show’s creators, and we didn’t even have to fast forward through the commercials. Next season I’m going to set up the TIVO to just record the first 2 minutes of the show.
