This allows for the show to actually occur in real time without compromising action. The real time of the show continues to roll during the commercials throughout the show, emphasizing the reality of the 24 hours of the season which the characters work.
Actual show run time without commercials is about 45 minutes, as is typical for hour long television shows on many commercial stations. However, the effect only works if episodes are shown with commercial breaks during the show and then only if these are inserted at the right points in time and have the exact right length, which may not fit in with the normal programming of a commercial station.
Watched continually each season would take approximately 18 hours to finish. This real-time nature is emphasized by an on-screen digital clock appearing before and after commercial breaks, with a distinct beeping noise for each second, alternating between C and D tones. This time corresponds to the in-universe time of the show. The characters will often place time windows (such as the common "within the hour") on certain events such as terrorist threats, thus strongly hinting the attack/event will occur before the end of the episode.

Storytelling and visual style
24 employs fast-paced and complex plots. Though each day's events typically revolve around thwarting an impending terrorist attack, the series maintains an episodic format by requiring its characters to track down said terrorists one step at a time, with each step (coincidentally) taking roughly an hour and introducing the next episode's step in its closing minutes. The exact objective of the day may also change over the course of the season, as the terrorists adapt their plans, execute contingencies, or are discovered to have been mere pawns in a larger, more insidious scheme.

Counter Terrorist Unit
Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) is a fictional U.S. government anti-terrorist agency and similar to the real-life FBI/NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force and the CIA Counterterrorist Center's Special Activities Division. Its headquarters are in Washington, D.C. with satellite operations in major cities where threats are likely. CTU's primary mission is to disrupt and destroy foreign and domestic terror cells hostile to the United States, as well as protect it from terrorist attacks. With an office in nearly every major city, CTU also has a role in creating security policy and fighting groups of organized crime which fund terrorism.<ref>Modèle:Cite book</ref> Although CTU is fictional, a similar department, the National Counterterrorism Center, was set up by the government.
CTU offices are run by a Director, also called the Special Agent in Charge, to whom the Director of Field Operations and the Chief of Staff report. Departments within a CTU office include Communications ("Comm"), Logistics, and Tactical ("Field Ops"). Communications and Logistics personnel report directly to the Chief of Staff, whereas Tactical personnel are deployed into Tactical Teams ("Tac Teams") by the Director of Field Operations.
The Los Angeles CTU Field Office houses several areas. The first floor contains the Situation Room, as well as the main communications complex and command center, often referred to as "The Floor." On the second floor is the Director's office and Field Ops office. Situated elsewhere in the building are the Information Technology department (I.T.), an in-house Medical clinic, Meteorology department, several Holding Rooms used for interrogation and confinement, and Tech Rooms, which contain the bulk of the physical computer hardware used by CTU.
The CTU offices within a region report to a Divisional Office, overseen by the Division Director. Divisional offices cover a larger amount of territory in their jurisdiction. Finally, the Divisional office and all other offices report to a District Headquarters, overseen by a Regional Director. This title implies each District Headquarters has jurisdiction over an entire region of the United States. However, in Season 1, the reverse was implied: the District Director, George Mason, reported to District Manager Richard Walsh (who was killed in the second episode), and then Ryan Chappelle, the Regional Director from Division. However, in the Season 2 finale, Chappelle referred to a Mr. Vaughn, the District Director, as his superior.
CTU often suffers setbacks for the sake of plot. Despite the high-profile and high-risk nature of its duties, it is frequently infiltrated by double agents, and several times has been attacked or seized by terrorist forces.
It has been confirmed by the Season 7 Trailer that "CTU is gone".
Recurring plot devices
There are some plot devices which are used frequently on 24.
- Weapons of Mass Destruction: WMDs, especially nuclear weapons, are constant threats on the show. Seasons 2 and 6 have been based around the threat of nuclear weapons. In Season 3, it was a weaponized virus. Day 5 was a fictional nerve gas variant. Day 4 featured the threat of a nuclear weapon also, but the entire season did not center around this plot.
- Traitors in the government: CTU is often compromised by moles. A major subplot in Day 1 was the presence of a so-called "dirty agent" working with terrorists. As it turned out, there were 2 dirty agents in Day 1 (Nina Myers and Jamey Farrell). Jamey Farrell was originally thought to be the only dirty agent but it was later revealed that Nina Myers was also a dirty agent. Since then, another agent was found to be dirty in Day 4. Two traitors in the White House were exposed in Day 5 (Walt Cummings and President Charles Logan). Many others have been accused of espionage.
- Invocation of the 25th Amendment: Section 4 of the 25th Amendment states if the Vice President and a majority of the President's cabinet votes that the President is unable to fulfill his duties, he will be removed. It was first invoked during Day 2, to stop then President David Palmer from aborting an attack which would propel the U.S. into war. He was removed by one vote, but ultimately prevented the attack. It was invoked on Days 4 and 6, after failed assassination attempts on Presidents Keeler and Wayne Palmer. Mike Novick was involved with it being invoked in both the 2nd and 4th seasons.
- Insubordination from Jack Bauer: Jack has broken CTU protocol at least once in all six seasons. He manages to convince other agents to help him (usually Chloe O'Brian, Tony Almeida or Michelle Dessler). He usually is granted amnesty for his actions.
- Frequent Change in Command: So far on the series, there have been six on-screen Presidents. Only three of those six were actually elected into office, and only one served for a full term. One President resigned, one ex-President was assassinated, another was incapacitated by a bomb, and another was seriously injured when Air Force 1 was shot down. Also, there have been twelve directors of CTU, many of whom have also either resigned or been killed.
- Threatening Family Members to Force Compliance: Villains in the series frequently kidnap and threaten to kill close family members of the main characters in order to force them to work against CTU or the government (usually covertly). In addition, Jack has threatened to (or advised other to) execute in exchange for crucial information regarding an imminent terrorist attack.
- Revealing Information in Exchange for Immunity: Many terrorists/villains with major knowledge that CTU desires will often require they be acquitted of past crimes. These characters include Nina Myers, Mandy, Jacob Rossler, Collette Stenger, Christopher Henderson, and Dmitri Gredenko.
Cast
Main casts
24 is known for making major changes to its main cast every season — the sole exception being Kiefer Sutherland, who is the only main cast member to star in all six seasons to date. Glenn Morshower, who plays Aaron Pierce is the only actor besides Sutherland to appear in all six seasons. Due to the unpredictable nature of each season's storyline, main cast members are added and dropped frequently. In a few cases, guest stars have been upgraded to main cast members during the course of a season. Main cast members who return from prior seasons — whether they return for one episode or the better part of a season — are often given a "Special Guest Star" billing, although this is also used for other cast members who are well-known film actors, like Dennis Hopper, Powers Boothe, Sean Astin, and James Cromwell.
Because of the intense nature of the series, the number of onscreen deaths is high compared to other television dramas. Of the 28 characters who have comprised the main cast over the past six seasons, nine are deceased. This number is considerably higher when guest characters — whether they be government agents or terrorists — are also included. Whenever there is a death of a character, there is always a reason for it, for storytelling's sake, and it always relates back to Jack in some way.
* = Attached to star/in production.
** = Was moved from guest star to main cast member midseason.

Season 4
Set 18 months after season 3, season 4 begins and ends at 7:00 AM. Jack must save the lives of Secretary Heller and his daughter Audrey Raines (with whom Jack is romantically involved) when they are kidnapped by terrorists.

Set 18 months after season 4, season 5 begins and ends at 7:00 AM. Jack is believed to be dead by everyone except a few of his closest friends. Terrorists with connections to the U.S. government attempt to steal nerve gas in order to protect US oil interests in Asia, and Jack must resurface to stop them as well as dismantle the government conspiracy.
Season 6
Set 20 months after season 5, season 6 begins and ends at 6:00 AM. Jack is released after being tortured in a Chinese prison for twenty months.

Season 7 will begin and end at 8:00AM and will begin airing in the United States when the writer's strike is resolved. The producers of the show have confirmed there will be no season 7 prequel bridging seasons 6 and 7. The initial back story will feature Jack Bauer on trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Meanwhile a major national security breach occurs when the firewall responsible for protecting America's government computer infrastructure is breached. It will also feature the show's first female president, Allison Taylor, played by Cherry Jones, as well as the return of Carlos Bernard as Tony Almeida, one of this season's main antagonists, who was presumed dead in Season 5. This will be the first season to see Jack not working with CTU because it was disbanded by the U.S. government at some point after the events of Day 6.

In a question and answer period at Algonquin College in October 2007, director Jon Cassar commented on the production of the 24 feature film. He explained that he would much prefer to use his own writers to create the script, however, with their active work on the 24 series, it would be hard for them to write for both the movie and the series.

Note: Each US network television season starts in mid-September and ends in late May, which coincides with the completion of May sweeps. However 24 begins its season in January and runs new episodes non-stop until May, a trend which began after many fans grew unhappy with constant pre-emptions. 24 airs during February and May sweeps.

^ = Indicates a "non-stop" season, in which the season did not start at the beginning of the television season in September, but rather in January (the start of mid-season) to air new episodes every week until its season finale in May.
Viewership increased midway through its second season when the mega-hit American Idol became the lead-in to 24 starting in February 2003. For its fourth season, FOX gave the show a vote of confidence by moving 24 out of the post-American Idol time slot (to make room for the eventual hit drama, House) and placed it on Monday nights at 9:00 p.m. Eastern (8:00 p.m. Central) while it aired the show in consecutive weeks, beginning in mid-January of 2005. The consecutive-week schedule was also implemented for 2006, beginning in mid-January 2006.

International broadcasters
24 is widely broadcast in other parts of the world, including Africa, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. Its viewership in the UK, however, decreased when the BBC lost the rights to satellite channel Sky One after the second season.

The series has also been accused of a conservative political bias.<ref>You must specify title = and url = when using {{cite web}}.

DVD releases
The release of 24 on DVD has had a significant impact on the success of the television series. In an interview with IGN in 2002, Sutherland revealed, "[24's] success in England was phenomenal. It was the biggest show the BBC has ever had. It was the number one DVD there; knocked off Lord of the Rings, which is unheard of for a television show DVD to actually knock-out every feature DVD available. And that's because they showed it without commercials."<ref>You must specify title = and url = when using {{cite web}}.

The Region 1 DVD releases of 24 strictly emphasize actor Kiefer Sutherland on the cover art for all six seasons to date, while the Region 2 & 4 DVDs instead echo the series' split-screen format by featuring the major players in each respective season. This presented audiences who had not seen the tv broadcast (since the series moved to Sky One) in the UK with a large spoiler on the front cover of season four - which featured 'surprise' special guest star Tony Almeida.
In mid-2007, the first four seasons were re-issued, featuring slim-packaging in line with the season 5 release, and improved video quality, especially in the first season which was initially rushed to DVD. The metallic "24" logo has also been dropped in favor of the seven segment display logo.

Other media
The success of 24 has led to the series being extended into other arenas, including media specifically created for mobile devices and the internet. In addition, the series has spawned video and board games, toys, soundtracks from both the series and the video game, and a number of original novels inspired by the series, as well as a number of "behind-the-scenes" books. A feature film based upon the series is scheduled for 2008.
