Real Life 24

In the past few years the television show "24" has produced a following of diehard viewers waiting to see what Jack Bauer's next move is going to be in his attempt to save the world from those evil terrorists. I'm going to state right off the top that I have never seen a single episode of this and I might be making fun of the greatest TV shows of all time but from my impressions of the previews (that are on every single time a commercial happens on FOX) it seems that all he does it run, yell, and shot a gun. That to me doesn't sound like much of a series but I guess it must get pretty good rating as it still is on 3 years later. This is an issue I have with the show as how the hell can one guy have three bad days in a row. I can see him saving the day once, and maybe even twice, but now they are just pushing their limits with three bad days. I have lived on the earth for 25 years now and haven't had a day like any of the ones he has in a two year span. Zap. So I got to thinking about what a show would be like with a real person with a normal job and the life that they lead for 24 hours. So I will take a bad day that I had a couple of months ago to compare with Jack. Clunk. My alarm went off at 5:10 in the morning so I hit the snooze two more times before I finally roll out of bed and check my email (face it I'm a total computer geek). I jump in the shower and let the water hit me for a good 10 minutes before actually washing up and getting out. Dry off, take care of the regular H & B needs, pack a lunch and leave for work. On my way out the door I grab the garbage and throw it in the dumpster but I throw my mitten in the dumpster also. ::Intense music starts up here and you can tell this is going to be the climax of the show:: So I take my little red that I have attached to my keychain and jump in the dumpster after it. I retrieve it and get in my car. That is a whole episode right there, how freaking exciting. Snap. Show two could begin with me fighting traffic on the Minnesota River Bridge and waiting around for the Light Rail to show up and take me to work. You have a camera zoom and pan as I enter the train, sit down and take out a book to read. I could just see the camera coming down the aisle to see what book I was reading and have it sit over head I continue this all the way to downtown. Talk about interesting programming. Pow! I'm not going to go through all 24 hours of the day but some more highlights include an episode based on a problem with a work issue. You can see me banging my head against the cubical wall trying to get all the problems to work out. By this time you would be banging your head against your wall if you were still watching the series. This would be 8 straight episodes, but let us not forget that I get a 30 minute lunch in there so you would get to see me eating a 6" meatball sub complete with chips and a soda. The train ride home would be another adventure just waiting to happen with the book from the morning commute replaced with my Molskine and iPod. Zip, bang, boom. Let us not forget about the 7 hours of sleep I get every night. Maybe I should pitch this one to FOX, they do have worse programs than this on the air.
