"24" pulls its nuts out of the fire, but where are the deleted scenes? October 6, 2009 John Morgan (Ann Arbor, Michigan) I have to admit, after a lackluster sixth season and what I thought was a disappointing TV movie ("24: Redemption"), I was worried that "24"'s glory days were behind it. My confidence wasn't restored very much by the first eight episodes of season seven, either, which just seemed to be a rehash of all the same tired cliches from previous seasons. And then I had to leave the U.S. and didn't see the rest of the season until I returned recently and watched them on DVD. But I have to say, season seven improved greatly after the first episodes (the reason for this is explained by the writers on an extra on the DVDs), and the season as a whole definitely met my hopeful expectations. Jonas Hodges (Jon Voigt) was the best villain they've had in years, and turning Tony into an ambiguous figure (is he good or evil?) was an inspired turn for the series. And I loved the introduction of some truly positive Muslim characters for a change. It definitely proved to me that there's still life in "24" yet.
As for the DVD presentation, it is good but not up to the standards of the other seasons. While there are a few extra features and 14 deleted scenes, the deleted scenes pale in comparison to what was offered on previous "24" sets, which usually had literally dozens of deleted scenes. And also, what happened to the option to watch the deleted scenes within the episodes in which they appeared? On this set, you can only watch them as extras on the last disc - in every other season except for the first, you have the option to watch them at the end or else embedded within the season itself, which to me is much preferable and is one of the things which made the "24" sets unique. Perhaps the rush to get the season 7 set out as soon as it was finished airing, as opposed to releasing it several months later as was traditional, accounts for this drawback. Perhaps Fox is planning to release a special "deluxe" set for season 7 in the future which will have more deleted scenes - which wouldn't be surprising given their propensity for milking the hardcore fans for every penny they can get (such as the "Special Edition" of season 6 which was a blatant ripoff).
In short, a great year for "24," but less than great for the producers of these DVDs.
Another great season! October 1, 2009 Yovan Basurto (LA, USA) "Cloe please" Jack looks down and looks around while he says this in a dramatic way.

Kept surprising me September 29, 2009 Brussels customer (Belgium) I'd heard that after episode 13 this series becomes boring: not true. The writers did an amazing job of keeping you in suspense throughout with a maze of different stories that turn into the main plot when you least expect it. I didn't get bored once. Thanks to the 24 team for beating my expectations.
24-season seven September 28, 2009 Arthur Gladstone (FL, USA) we have become addicted to the series, and this is one of the best season's....the only thing wrong is the way the discs were packaged; difficult to remove, and re-install; otherwise, great.
Excellent! September 25, 2009 Ms. A. J. Belcher This product arrived in excellent condition and a lot earlier than expected! I am extremely impressed, thank you!
