- Time is often played with when it comes to television shows, especially ones that go on for a great deal of time. You see more of this on the daytime dramas when characters disappear and then reappear months or years later looking much older than before they left. This is mostly done with children because it is far more interesting to write for teenagers with all their angst than it is for kids.
  
  One Tree Hill jumped in time for the end of the high school years to past the college years just this season. Lost goes back and forth in time each and every week, displaying the past, present and the future in one episode. Now another series has decided to play with time, Fox’s 24. It is being said that when the series returns this season, we will have jumped in time four years. In fact, since the beginning of the series, there has been a seventeen year time span dealt with. Jack Bauer will now be a man in his fifties. Kiefer Sutherland is actually 41 years old.
  
  I think a jump in time isn’t a bad thing. Series show snippets of the lives that would make interesting television. Not every moment is going to be television worthy. Playing with time allows things to happen. However, I do think some instances go so far. As I mentioned before, this happens mostly when it comes to daytime drama. Having a child leave as a toddler one year, and come back as a sixteen year old the next is stretching it!
  
  I actually think Lost has dealt with time quite interesting. It was confusing at first, but it became easily to follow as the season moved on. I’m excited to see where the next season of Lost takes us. However, we will have to wait until 2009 to find out.
