I Have To Admit, There Is Great Writing in TV

I have a weakness. Though I watch a lot of TV, I seldom really pay attention to it. Generally I have only one eye and one ear focused on it at any given moment it is on, but there is one program which never fails to completely grabs me. And that hour of my life is reserved for "24."



Top caliber writing is rarely found in the entertainment industry that when it is found its presence is glaring. The last time I was so riveted to a program was... well, any of last season's episodes of "24."



Why bring this up? Aside from showing my admiration I needed to remind myself that if I can occupy an audience's mind like that I will have certainly found talent. Believe me, it takes quite a program to prevent me from going online, answering the phone, or turning on my iPAQ for 60 minutes.
