24

Cancel your Sunday and Monday night plans. In fact, call in sick Tuesday, because you'll need a day to recover from the thrilling return of Jack Bauer. When last seen, Jack was being hauled off to a Chinese prison. Two years have gone by and the question remains whether he'll be sewing zippers on Old Navy cargo pants or if the president can get him back fast enough to stop terrorists attacking the U.S. Buckle up. Season 6 shifts from first to fourth gear like Jimmie Johnson racing toward an episode's finish. Yet unlike post-NASCAR puke naps, 24 will keep you up at night counting the minutes until next week. Tick. Tick. Tick.
