11. “24” (2001 - present)
When “24” premiered in November 2001, a new type of pulse pounding drama was born. The show, about a government agent named Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), was told in real time with each episode encompassing an hour of the action unfolding within CTU, the fictitious agency Bauer was working within. Plot twists and deceptions became par for the course as Bauer worked with rest of the CTU agents to help stop presidential assassinations or threats of nuclear warfare on American soil. The show’s format of showing the action happening at four different locations via a quad screen graphic as the clock ticks down became a device used and copied all over TV and in movies. — Laura Saltman
