A show that I watch on a regular basis is 24. This is my favorite show because it incorporates great action sequences, compelling drama, and a great concept of real time drama. This show is based around the main character Jack Bauer, who is a federal agent that tries to stop terrorist attacks on the United States. Along with him are organizations such as the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), the FBI, and the President of the United States. This show has been running for 6 seasons now, and is currently 7 episodes into the 7th season and airs Monday nights.
"24" is a great example of how TV incorporates the core American values as it is based around some of the most important values: Freedom and Safety. Throughout the show, they are producing messages of great Americans and what they are like in our society, and also shows who is not a great American. Often times this show does not fuel stereotypes as terrorists in this show are often not Middle Eastern, and are instead other races. In season 5, the main bad guy even turned out to be the president. This show tells its viewers that there is a standard to the American society, as there is often a fight for who wins: Good or Bad.
"24" is a great show that I would recommend to anyone looking for good TV on a monday night.
