24's Last Day
What many thought would happen did, 24 got canned. I speak as fan of the show when I say, THANK YOU…DAMNIT!
I wasn’t there from the start, I came in during season 5, but I caught up by watching the 4 other seasons in 4 weekends. This is how the most avid fans are supposed to have watched the show right? In 24 straight hours? I certainly was aware of the show and concept long before...

The Pacific, Episode 1
I recommend supplementing my review with listening to an interview with Donald Miller, professor of history, from my alma mater which took place 3/15/2010 on WHYY FM: D-Days in the Pacific.
HBO’s goal of creating a miniseries around every film Tom Hanks has ever stared in hit a snag Sunday evening when the universally acclaimed series The Pacific premiered. Where is the HBO series about...
