REMINDER
Tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern Bioweapon Time. Be on this blog, or be a Trogg.
Also be advised (thanks to The Amazing Steve and kc brady) that this season's plot apparently contains -- prepare to be shocked -- some geographical inaccuracies. We hope the Secret Service reads this article before it proceeds with the plan to build the $57 million White House Frogperson Defense System.
You may everything gooooovay!!

Do you get the feeling that the 24 writers have decided to make 24 a comedy of sorts?

Reguarding the Troggs picture: it's hard to believe that at one time in history those suits were considered something you would want to be seen in.

Jack Bauer...I think I love you...

Imagine what DW Griffiths could have done with 24...!

Seven miles from the Potomac, heading west on 236 (Duke St / Little River Turnpike), would still be inside the Beltway.

Good one Meanie! Does 'happy dance' because tonight is 24 night.

Those suits look like pressed dish towels.
Quite chic really.

And none of those "Virginia" cars have their safety inspection stickers, either.
(If you want inconsistencies with goOgle Earth, take a look at the Wilson Bridge, where I-95/495 [Capital Beltway] crosses the Potomac from Virginia through a slice of DC waters into Maryland.)

Again:

Dave:
The $57 million for the anti-frogpersons defense system would just be for the feasibility study and local bribes. The actual cost would be $740 billion which seems to be the standard price for everything in this town.

I wonder if TypePad will be as cranky tonight as it was last week....

Good job, Meanie!

I'd love to join you,
but I'll be with who

This is precisely why "The Andy Griffith Show" (precursor to "24") was undeniably the best of all time. Believable cop portrayals. ACCURATE geography. (Floyd's barbershop IS right across the street from the courthouse.....and the suit Barney used to wear while courting Thelma Lou.

neo - I think I remember those two, but didn't they BOTH have banjos?
Posted by: Diva | March 30, 2009 at 02:48 PM
Just out of curiosity, how many shower curtains did it take to make those suits ?
Posted by: Clankazoid | March 30, 2009 at 03:33 PM
If you think it is bad re DC you should have lived in the DFW area during the years "Walker, Texas Ranger" was on. We spent half of each episode laughing about the locations. In one scene Walker drove a truck from Dallas city hall to the Trinity river bottom. Took him about two minutes. In real life he could not get out of the city hall parking in two minutes.

Margaritaville and Norman:
Do you get the feeling that the 24 writers have decided to make 24 a comedy of sorts?
Yes. Unquestionably yes. It became a parody of itself some time ago and I think the writers just decided to take it over the top - and I salute them for it. This show is a hoot to watch, and as long as it's entertaining, who cares?
Posted by: Dr Alice | March 30, 2009 at 03:57 PM
Type Pad should be fine tonight because judi is back.

But aren't the Troggs so cuuuuuuuute?

That's the White House Frogperson Defense System program, of course . . .

We at WeLoveDC.com have been analyzing the ways that 24 has been molesting our fair city since the get-go.
The Washington Post is more venerable than us but they sometimes react a little slower...
