I never watched it until, last year, for my Birthday, a dear friend sent me the first two seasons.  Before I knew it I was buying the third and had the fourth on order at Amazon.  Sigh.

Watch it online.  We do (because we don't have cable).

I bet they won't put up the special clip show, though.

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

        -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 BC (106-43 BC)

I'm thinking that the OP was an allusion to the show, 24....... The mathematical progression is off, though.

There is NO rhyme or reason to the numbers. I already looked at that when it was first posted. I THINK it has something to do with some radio transmission or code on Lost
