24 - Season 3 (DVD, 2009, 6 Disc Set)

Sometimes you wonder if the next season can be anywhere as good as the original. Season 3 somehow surpasses the 2nd one! And thats saying A LOT! As I sit and think about how much TV I have watched in my life 24 is probably at the top of the list. If I think about how much TV I have watched in the shortest period of time 24 wins hands down. This is simply an incredible show (and Elisha Cuthbert is really hot).

I honestly cannot recommend watching this show from week to week … just too much happens between each show that you lose the urgency of finding out what happens next. The only way to watch this is getting the DVD’s!

“24” chronicles a day of Jack Bauer, the greatest man alive. We only have 2 rules while watch 24 ...

Rule 1 - NO TALKING

Rule 2 - NEVER question Jack Bauer’s authority!

The whole series is amazing. Simply having a series dedicated to 1 day must have been a monumental task. I love how the show comes together and how you can love and hate the same character in the same hour! There are some truly unforgettable characters in the show as well.

This is a MUST SEE! Start here and be prepared to lose the next week or two of your life ... but I somehow manage to justify it as time well spent!

Catch phrases I have found myself saying in my sleep:

Long Live Jack Bauer!!
Palmer for President!!
Woohoo! Sherry is dead!!
Holy Crap Kim is HOT!!

ENJOY!

This series will ruin going to see a suspence movie. It is by far better than any you can see. Your heart will beat with anticipatiion. It is so much better than the blockbuster movies. It has runined them for me as this seriers has more suspence in one hour and each of the one hours than any other suspense move I've seen-except may Alfred Hichcock.

The television show that breaks all the rules. By killing all their favorite characters, continually ending by screwing over the good guys, not all the bad guys get caught, and then the endings are never truly happy.

I was hooked from season 1 and you will be as well !!!!

Everytime I think of the series 24 I hear that little clock ticking down.
Season 3 in my opinion was one of the best of the series.
This season is even more full of suspense and action than season 2. Just when you think the writers can't top the previous episode they do it! It's amazing.
Jack Bauer must now find a virus that terrorists are threatening to use against civillians. Jack must also beat a heroine addiction. As if the guy doesn't have anything better to do...
I really hate to go on as I don't want to give any spoilers to those of you haven't seen Season 3 yet.

At the beginning of this season, I was skeptical. It didn't start off the way I would have wanted. Jack a drug addict was distasteful. But once the reason became apparent it become intriguing.
The more you watch this season the more you like it.
The return of some former characters made for even more interesting drama.
Some deaths were shocking and if you watched prior episodes you will feel something for those who are killed off.
You never know what you are going to get when you watch 24. This season was probably the most shocking of all the seasons. It had some moments that were not viewable for children or the squeemish.
Once again the last moments of the last episode was a shocker.
I would definitely reccomend this DVD.
24 is the most exciting show on television. You are always on the edge of your seat. If you love that feeling, 24 will never let you down.
Jack Bauer is the hero of the 21st century.

Groundbreaking. Innovative. Intense. 24 is all of these things and more. But the question prospective viewers really want to know is, "Is the series worth watching?" The answer is a triumphant "Yes."

Jack and his counter-terrorist crew return in Season 3 to battle an impending bio-terrorism threat from a pair of Mexican drug lords. As is always the case, not everything is as it first appears. Along the way, new friends are made, shaky alliances are born, and trustworthy partners become enemies. It's all in a hard day's work for Jack, and viewers will undoubtedly get a kick out of watching all the plot twists play out.

24 has always been about putting the viewer through a high-intensity thrill ride, and Season 3 holds up wonderfully in that regard. Key characters are constantly put in the line of fire, and it's anybody's guess who will make it to the nail-biting next hour. There is one episode in particular, about two-thirds of the way through the season, that is incredibly frenzied, even by 24's lofty standards. Without giving away any spoilers, that is one episode in which I had to take a break from 24 for day or two afterwards and let the craziness of the events settle in - such was the ferocious emotional impact.

Besides the non-stop action, the next best quality of 24 is its razor-sharp dialogue. Again, Season 3 does not disappoint. All of the characters are given lines that either flesh out their personas marvelously, or contribute to the madcap pacing of the show. It's a joy to watch Kiefer Sutherland switch between his gruff, angry interrogation techniques and his more diplomatic tone when he talks to his superiors. Dennis Haybert, as President David Palmer, is likewise riveting in his portrayal of an idealistic leader who always wants to do what's right, but is forced to make some ethically questionable compromises. On the flip side, Joaquim de Almeida as drug lord Ramon Salazar is definitely a villian, but you can't help but start to like him for his charming swagger. (It doesn't hurt that he gets in a bunch of memorable one-liners, too). Penny Johnson Jerald and Sarah Clarke return as sketchy allies Sherry Palmer and Nina Myers, respectively. It's admittedly a bit of a stretch to see these two in the thick of the plot again, considering the punishments they received in Season 2. Their presence does add a great deal of uncertainty and dubiousness to the proceedings, though, which is worthwhile enough to erase any logic gaps that might linger.

All the tension that's built up in the show would amount to naught, though, if there weren't any grand payoffs. Not surprisingly, 24 is more than capable when it comes to action sequences. There are gunfights, helicopter chases, stakeouts, escapes through buildings, and all-out melees, all of which are choreographed with expert direction. Two sequences stand out in particular, both of which involve aerial strikes in the midst of large scale shootouts - these are definitely "Holy ****" moments that will have everyone cheering. Another episode pits Jack, Ramon and a couple of prison guards in a game of Russian roulette more intense than any other you'll see.

It's a testament to the show's strengths that even after watching through all 24 episodes, you'll likely be left clamouring for more. Even after the day's unbelievable events come to a close, the story arcs you'll have witnessed will have you wondering how the main characters will cope with their own new personal problems. Anyone wh

THIS SHOW KEEPS YOU ON EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!! I BET YOU CAN'T WATCH JUST ONE EPISODE!!!!! VERY FAST PASE SHOW !! THE ONLY TO WATCH IN ON DVD!! NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 5!!!

If you are a fan of Jack Bauer, Tony Almaeda, Chloe, Michelle to name a few... If you need to catch up after viewing season one and two or if you just started with season 4 and want to see where this started You can't beat this show for edge of the seat, can't wait until next week let alone next season.....
Real time show can't be beat as far as I am concerned.....

I received the DVD in good condition but we havent watched it yet. I know we will love it. Thanks!

Good condition DVD. Caught up on days missed. No wonder it continued. All actors did great! Will get the next season too.

I love it, best season ever of 24. Best show ever!!! I highly recommend other 24 fans to buy this season. Has to be the best!

I never received the DVD set after a month. I never got a response from the seller either after many attempts.

I am an absolute fan of 24 and I will buy all the seasons. Oh my God, Jack Bauer is the most handsome man. Nonstop suspense, corruption in the government, the terrorist attack and everything else keeps you off your seat when watching 24. I can't explain it, but this is what real television is about. I am really speechless. This about the whole series (season 1,2,3,4,etc...). I wish I could meet the cast of 24.

I watched 5 seasons in 3 weeks--couldn't have stopped if I wanted to! But season 3 takes the top prize for favorite season. The character development, story arcs and shocking events affected me the most.

24 is a series played out in real time. That means 24 episode, one hour each, covering one day in the life of federal agent Jack Bauer. I'm warning you now to not begin the series unless you are planning on finishing it in less than a week. Watching 24 is like chain smoking, you can't turn the current episode off without starting up the next. I went to Hollywood video to return the disc I had just finished. I was standing in line to get the next disc when a couple got in line behind me with the same disc. We were talking about how we couldn't sleep at night because we were watching 24 when another customer walked in, dropped of his copy of 24 and headed straight back to the "24 section" for his next hit. I asked the clerk if anyone ever dropped off a disc without picking up the next one. She just laughed, shook her head, and said no. Anyways, the series is full of action, drama, and romance. The casting and acting is terrific. Every episode and every season outperforms the next. Buckle yourself into your sofa because you're going to be there for a while.

It just never seems to stop for federal agent Jack Bauer. First, he managed to save candidate David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) from assassination. It wasn't over. Soon after, Jack was called to prevent the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. Unfortunately for Jack, another bad day is on the horizon. This season takes place three years after the ending of the second season, where the President was suffering from a mysterious ailment that he got from a handshake. A van deposits a body outside an LA health office that had been suffering from a deadly virus. Tony (Carlos Bernard) picks up information that this is the hint of a blackmail threat that involves drug dealer Ramon Salazar, whom Jack has just brought down. If Salazar isn't released, then his brother will release a the virus into Los Angeles.

As the episode begins, we learn more: Jack became hooked on heroin to try and get undercover to bust Salazar; Palmer has recovered and is back on the campaign trail and Palmer has a new partner, Chase (James Badge Dale). Kim (Elisha Cuthbert), Jack's daughter, has also returned and is now working at CTU, despite throughts from other co-workers that she got the job due to her father. She also has a connection to Chase that she has yet to share with Jack. Elsewhere, a young man named Kyle has come in contact with a large bag of powder - while he has plans for it, he doesn't know he's being viewed from afar. To provide more tidbits about the season would be ruining the surprises.

The third season of "24" continues the elements of the show that has made it popular. Successfully boasting a real-time format, the show links crisis-to-crisis in a way that often makes the nearly hour-long program rip forward with remarkable tension and urgency, not to mention some solid twists and surprises. Season three isn't quite as strong as the first and second seasons of the show, but Sutherland still remains a very strong anchor. There are also other solid performances here, including Bernard and his character's relationship with co-worker Michelle (Reiko Aylesworth). Haysbert is once again offers a marvelous performance as Palmer. Cuthbert is allowed to get into less ridiculous situations this time around and, as a result, her character is stronger and more compelling. Joaquin De Almeida also makes for a convincingly menacing villain.

"24"'s third season isn't its best, but the show still remains a nail-biter. The first half contains some unnecessary sub-plots and takes a little while to get going, but once it starts, the season largely goes into high gear.

24 is one of the best shows on televion right now. The sixth season will start in January, but all of the previous seasons are great too. I own season three, and even though i watched it as i was watching season five on tv, each episode was suprising. If you watch 24 now but missed earlier seasons don't hesitate to buy this one. You will love it. I also recommend the show to anyone who likes action shows with unexpected plot twists.

I decided to purchase this dvd set because I wanted to see the whole show. I have really enjoyed the series so far.

The product was just as explained and the mailing time great. Would purchase future items from this supplier.

Very prompt service. Well packaged and protected. Even though I bought over the weekend, it came quicker than I thought possible.

Careful about this guy! He is just dishonest. I've never seen any of the DVDs that I bought. As I complain not having received them, I wasn't answered at all. I'm now disputing that money through the credit services of Amex. Ebay should identify this guy and should forbid him of any trading in its sites since that with his filthy acting, he is only decreasing this nice sites credibility.

I'm enjoying it immensely. Just wish I had begun looking at the program when it first began! We watched Season 5 and got hooked on the program. I ordered Season 4 from an eBay seller and we enjoyed all 7 DVD's of that one. I then ordered Season 3 from another seller, and am almost through all the discs.

Both sellers provided great service, and products were delivered in good time.

I like this program very much, but each episode does leave you hanging out there waiting for the next one! Always something drastic happening at the last minute.

A lot of the talk show hosts I listen to love this show; it's up-to-date, covering counter-terrorism in Kosovo, Mexican drug ring, Middle East terrorists. Lots of mean characters. I know it's just a show but it beats watching some chick flick on Lifetime TV for Women every night. Action, action, action, but a little romance and interaction between characters -- without getting porno-like -- to entice us ladies too. Season 6? Bring it on!

The third season of the hit Fox t.v series 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland. This time around, it isn't a nuclear bomb or a assassination attempt on the president, this time it's bioterrorism. A virus was created that is VERY deadly and contagious. Jack and the team of CTU agents need to find and contain the virus before it's to late. What will the next 24 hours hold?
