Prison Break or 24?

I was late to the party on both shows. 24 my wife and I started and watched 5 seasons in a little more than a month on DVD. It was intense watching without any commercials and we spent many a night up until 2 or 3 in the morning watching Jack Bauer save the world.

I was recently on a business trip and wanted something to watch on the flight. I heard some good things about Prison Break but had never watched the show. I decided to download the first 5 episodes on my iPod. I've got to say I was addicted after the first show. 24 is great, but you always know Jack Bauer is going to save the world. For me Prison Break has a lot more twists and turns and is really intense. Kara doesn't like the violence of 24 so she prefers Prison Break. I'm torn between the tough guy, save the world Jack Bauer and the unpredictability of Prison Break. Any of you watch these shows? Any preference?

To me Kiefer Sutherland will always be David from the Lost Boys.

So the Jack Bauer role doesn't work at all for you? You a Prison Break fan?

To be truthful, I'm a really bad TV watcher. I have actually never seen Prison Break. I caught a couple of episodes of 24, which is when I discovered the Lost Boys conundrum. But most of the TV that I end up being exposed to, is just the "realty" crap that my wife watches, so that she can keep up on the gossip. Even then, it is generally just me walking through the room, to get something out of the other room. I have heard good things about Prison Break though.

No contest - 24 is boring. Prison Break is awesome!

Boring? No chance. Sometimes predictable? Yes.
