 Possibly the best season September 3, 2009
jackbauer0024 (New Zealand)
As season 6 ended, I thought, "Could this suck any more?" But Redemption was less than perfect. However, I lost hope briefly but when I saw the premiere of season 7, I was astounded at how much better and 'classic' 24 it was. The plot took unsuspecting turns which made me wonder if the real bad guys were going to get caught, and who was going to die next. Admittedly some plot points were predictable, but you come to expect that from any TV show.
The cover was also far better than season 6 (WTF?) with a long shot of Jack - and the box!
Excellent performances by major cast members Sutherland, Bernard, Cherry Jones and Annie Wersching add to the astounding season.
Bring on season 8.
My Review of 24: Season Seven DVD September 1, 2009
Buck Pelletier (New Hampshire)

Honestly, I feel that Season Seven may have been the best season yet. Of course I have my complaints about it, and I'll run through my complaints quickly:
1: The story of Season 7 basically pretended Season 6 never happened. Probably due to the critical reception of Season 6. But there was a lot more continuity from Season 5, and most of the major storylines of Season 6 were ignored.
2: Janis Gold, Janeane Garafalo's character: Janeane Garafalo can be an okay actress, but I don't think her performance was up to the standards of 24. Also, her character barely even did anything meaningful, other than a few fun exchanges with Chloe.
3, the biggest one: The ending of the season. It was exactly the ending I expected, and it left all the loose ends hanging. After such a strong season, anyone who wanted any kind of closure at the end will be sorely disappointed. I know 24 is kinda known for that, but not to the level that Season 7 had.
But all that said, Season 7 was still fantastic. As for what was good about the season, I don't even know where to start. The new setting, Washington D.C. was a great backdrop and brought something new and fresh to the series. The new actors brought in were fantastic. Everyone was talking about Cherry Jones as President Allison Taylor, but personally I was more excited about the first gentleman Henry Taylor, played by Colm Feore. I've always been a fan of Feore and his storyline was very good. Renee Walker was also a great new character. I was also very excited by the returns of two of my favorite characters in the series, Tony Almeida and Kim Bauer, both of whom we didn't see in Season 6.
The villains were amazing. My favorites were Jonas Hodges (played by Jon Voight), Ike Dubaku and the aforementioned Tony (who switched between being a good guy and bad guy several times this season. With mood swings like that you'd think he was suffering from PMS or something). But the other villains were great as well.
I could go on and on about the greatness of this season. But I'll just sum it up by saying, you have to see it if you haven't. It was incredible.
As for the omission of the 7th disk, which usually has the extras, that wasn't too big of an issue. There are still extras. There's audio commentary for 12 episodes, as well as three featurettes (spread around with one each on disk 1, disk 5, and disk 6). There are deleted scenes as well, but not quite as many as previous seasons. Overall, they definitely could've included more extras, and just put them on disks 2, 3 and 4 where there weren't any. The 7th disk wasn't necessary.
Speaking of which, I remember when the first reviewers posted their reviews for this DVD, they all complained about the packaging. Because it wasn't the same as the older boxed sets and they omitted the seventh disk. But now that the DVD has been out for a while, people are actually buying it and noticing how great the packaging really is. It's really the best packaging job ever for a multi-disk DVD. This should be the way all TV series' are released on DVD. In fact, they should re-release all 6 previous seasons of 24 in this style of packaging. Just spread the special features among the 6 disks rather than having a 7th disk, like they did for this.
Overall, great season, great packaging. Extras could've been better, but that's a minor gripe. Definitely get this one from Amazon as the price (as I'm writing this), $22.99 is by far the best price you can find for a new copy. Just buy this with an additional cheap item (like a 24: Declassified paperback) to bump the price over $25 and get free shipping as well! Highly recommended.
Bravo Jack ! August 28, 2009

In fact, when I bought season 7 of 24, I already have seen the serie on a streaming site available in France.
As it was not French subtiltled, I must admit I lost some parts of the action because of my poor understanding of English (obviously not when Ivorian actor Isaak de Banchole spoke in French with the actress assumed to be his wife, both being legal Executives of fictious state of Sangala).
But I think I understood the majority of the action (it's not very difficult) and I appreciated all the show, waiting eagerly each week for a new episode.
As I saw that the DVD was released in the US the morning after the last episode was released, with French subtitles and at a very moderate price (and the level of the US dollar compared to to the Euro is from some help), I could'nt prevent myself to buy it, so that my wife could see the season and understand it.
In France, it will be aired beginning 10th of September, on a cable channel, and not released in DVD before at least one year.
The only added value I will get with this cable channel is to see Redemption, with French subtitles and keep it in the case of season seven (if I could find some place because of the packaging !) I have bought a second examplaryof 24 season 7 on Amazon to offer to a friend, fan like us of 24.
Our behaviour has no logical reason : you like 24, or you don't. As we are fans, we couldn't wait the airing and releasing in France.
That's all Folks !
"24" Season 7 is great entertainment August 28, 2009
S. Grabowski (South Windsor, CT United States)
"24" is another TV show that I have become addicted to. While some of the "action" and "tension" feel routine after viewing the previous six seasons, I felt that was offset by the many twists and turns in season 7. Granted, a lot may be fantasy, but the entertainment value greatly offsets the more common place action of this show.
Awesome August 25, 2009
Tracy Frank (Iowa)
I had previously ordered this item through an Amazon vendor, who did not follow through with the order. Found out they had cancelled my order, so I immediately got on-line and ordered directly through Amazon. I received the order within 5 days. Amazon is the bomb.
