How come in 24 no one ever spends the entire episode stuck in traffic?

[rcrush]

Some of the seasons take place in LA during the day so I figure Jack Bauer has to get stuck on the freeway for like 45 min at least once.

1. It is a FOX production. Murdoch doesn't believe in reality.

2. facts have a liberal bias, after all n/t

3. Jack Bauer scares everyone to the side of hte road??

Just a guess. But coming up with "24" fantasies is fun.

4. AND Why doesnt Jack Bauer ever use the bathroom?

In not one season has he ever spent 20 min taking a shit! I have to take a dump at least 4 or 5 times a day. It really takes up a lot of time!


He should at least be doing the pee pee dance by the 12 or 13th episode.

5. Look more closely next season

it's clear that he's wearing an adult diaper.

6. Mealtimes? Doesn't even pop into a Subway?

You don't see him with a candy bar or a bottled beverage. WTF

7. I want his cellphone

If I used mine as much as he does, it would be dead in an hour.

8. There was one ep in which he snapped a pic of a hostage-taker

Jack was hidden behind a vent or something, CTU still managed to analyze the pic to discern the circuitry on a chip/card in the hostage-taker's pocket. Or maybe it was an ID card. Anyway...

What the hell kind of resolution would you need for something like that? Jack was at least 20 feet away, so I'm guessing something like 5 terapixels? With no flash? And no image jitter? They should send his camera into orbit and stick it on the Hubble!

9. It's a magic phone

which is cool because it goes along with his magic messenger bag that always seems to have just what he needs for each situation.

10. Next season! Jack has to stop a bomb but he forgets his cell phone and gets stuck in rush hour!

He's sitting there in traffic digging through the seats looking for his fucking phone! He's stuck on an overpass so he's got nowhere to run! So he spends 3 episodes honking and cursing at people and trying to find a cell phone.

Finally when sweeps rolls around he gets out of his car and sees an old grandma on her cell phone so he goes over to her Buick and punches her and takes her phone. He then calls someone with a helicopter and it shows up 2 min later!

11. Because Married with Children is the only show visionary enough to do that!

12. I loved the end of that episode

It froze on that guy about to beat the shit out of Al Bundy with a tire iron! :rofl:
