48 (television show)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The sequel to the hit Fox network show, 24, 48 is even more action-packed and suspenseful than the original. It takes place over a period of 48 hours, but with twice as much action packed into each episode. This means that the plot is practically impossible to follow. In addition, 48 takes place over the same 24 episodes as 24, so in order to retain the "realtime" format, the entire show takes place at double speed. This often makes it difficult to understand quite what is happening.

[edit] Big News
There was going to be big stuff. Big. BIG. BIG! There were twice as many moles. (If possible) There was twice as much interrogation. (If possible) There was going to be twice as many improvised weapons used in violent ways. (If possible) FOX, along with FOX NEWS, decided all these things were impossible, and ditched the show's funding, thus leaving Kiefer Sutherland over five billion dollars in debt. It's a good thing he landed that six billion dollar deal to pose on the cover of Rolling Stone.
[edit] Two Jack Bauer's!
Yes, you read it correctly - in order to help keeping up with the greater speed and twice as many villains, there are now TWO Jack Bauer's running around kicking the terrorist's sorry asses, one original and one clone of the original. That means MORE action, MORE interrogation, MORE car chases, MORE explosions, MORE kidnapped daughters in distress (as there are two Kim Bauer's as well), just MORE of everything! Hell yes! Most often, there is one Jack Bauer on the field, chasing the bad guys, and one in the interrogation room, torturing those who have already been captured - the perfect synergy. Once in a while Jack Bauer has to torture his own doppelgänger when he suspects him of concealing information.
[edit] The Show
The original title for the show was to be "
" however "" was decided to be too difficult for the actors to say. When it was pointed out by a janitor that not only was "" very easy to say, actually, but also that the actors would never actually have to say "" on camera, he was immediately hung, drawn, and quartered by Clinjas.
[edit] 48 - the Memento version
As if things weren't good enough already, there is also a special DVD box just for you, played in semi-reverse, as in Memento, which means that the movie starts as 47:59:50 and is then played backwards to the beginning scene by scene, for additional confusion. What more can an action lover ask for, except for your very own Kim Bauer clone? Much. And soon that may be yours as well.
[edit] 48 - the 3D version
Furthermore, there is a 3D release of every season of 48, complete with two pairs of 3D glasses, so that the viewer can see the two Jack Bauer's torturing islamists and Yakuza gangsters in three dimensions, instead of the usual two dimensions. Of course, since everything comes in twice the numbers, that means that the show will have a whopping SIX DIMENSIONS, in true hyperspace style!
[edit] 48 - the 3D Memento version
The very ultimate version of the 48 DVD-box, encased in a gold/diamond DVD box set, is a combination of the two aforementioned versions, allowing the viewer to see the whole season in reverse, played out in 3D. The 3D glasses included are made of gold and diamond as well. Every box set is signed twice by Kiefer Sutherland himself and has two whole extra DVD's with extra-materials, such as deleted nude scenes with Kim Bauer. However, this version is only released in 10 000 copies and costs three million Euro to buy, so you may not be at best odds to get a hold of your own two copies.
