This includes the “Next week on 24” previews, which some people do not watch, in order to stay “pure”. > > _3) What’s the population of China at the start of this season?_ > A: One would think much less than at the end of season 5, since Jack Bauer has been there for a year or so. And here we are, at the start of another “bad day” for Jack Bauer. He’s coming back from a long-term all expense paid vacation to China, so one would think he’s going to be rested, relaxed, and refreshed. Ummmm… in theory, anyways? Tune in at 8 PM tonight!

[QUOTE=Charlie Tan] A.M. ? [/QUOTE] Yes – that doesn’t refer to **our** time, i.e. what time the show is on tonight. That refers to the time of Jack Bauer’s day. According to the [Epsiode Guide Page](http://www.fox.com/24/episodes/) on the Fox web site, the season 6 “day” starts at 6:00 AM JBT (Jack Bauer Time). Of course, the premiere airs tonight, 8 PM Eastern. ---

“24”, “Rome”, “Desperate Housewives”. My DVR is on overload!! Alas, poor “Housewives”, we knew them well. (Actually I have 2 DVRs, so my bases are covered. But “DH” is getting very dull again, so who knows if I’ll ever get around to watching.) Jack is back. Should be fun! I may just wait until tomorrow and do the whole 4 hours straight, without the benefit of commercial interruptions. That’ll make it closer to 3 hrs. ---
