So the special edition DVDs for season 1 drop on May 20th. Woohoo! I must say, the packaging looks quite shiny!

About 24 Season One Special Edition The clock is ticking… Midnight. Jack Bauer, head of the CIA’s Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit, is suddenly thrust into a chaotic and exhausting 24-hour marathon of death, deception and terror as he struggles to prevent the assassination of a presidential candidate, find the traitor within his own organization, and save his kidnapped wife and daughter.

Season One of this precedent-setting television series began as Agent Bauer is informed of a threat against U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert; “The Unit”) on the day of the California Primary. As Bauer attempts to unravel the mystery and ensure the safety of Senator Palmer, new conspiracies begin to emerge that threaten CTU, the country and his family. With incredible supporting performances from Elisha Cuthbert (The Girl Next Door, Captivity), Carlos Bernard (“10.5: Apocalypse”), Leslie Hope (Dragonfly), Sarah Clarke (Happy Endings), Eric Balfour (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Mia Kirshner (“The L Word”) as well as cameos from Lou Diamond Phillips (“Numb3rs,” Young Guns) and Dennis Hopper (Speed, Hoosiers), this will truly be a day that none of them will ever forget!

Of course, we all know how it ends…. or do we?
