And this show is awesome. I'm on Season 1, Episode 18 and it's one of the best things I've seen ever. It drags a little in places, but it's otherwise incredible. 
 
Also, it's way more fun to watch when you mentally replace every spoken occurrence of "hour" with "episode." 
 
"I'll meet you in an episode." 
"Look, I've got business to do in half an episode." 
"I haven't seen her for two episodes." 
 
That sort of thing. I dunno, maybe I'm just easily amused. 
 
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the show ends on my birthday! Now I have to catch up in time for the finale. :\

It is great. Im rather disappointed that season 8 will be its last. Season 1 and 5 were the best.

I think that the novelty of 24 had worn off on me. Until you said that. I love meta-"games" in movies or TV shows. Thanks takua108!

Yeah, I forgot to say that the show ends on my 19th birthday, so now I have 136 hours (5⅓ straight days) of television to watch before then.

My wife and I have avoided it for years, but recently we've been looking into things we've overlooked, so to speak. I may start watching from Season 1: Ep. 1 tonight.
