Episode Quotes
 | Season 1 / Episode 1: - 12:00 A.M.-1:00 A.M.
Jack Bauer: You can look the other way once, and it's no big deal, except it makes it easier for you to compromise the next time, and pretty soon that's all your doing; compromising, because that's the way you think things are done. You know those guys I busted? You think they were the bad guys? Because they weren't, they weren't bad guys, they were just like you and me. Except they compromised... Once. |

Kimberly Bauer: So, is she still giving you the cold shoulder? Jack Bauer: If by "she" you're referring to your mother, I'd appreciate if you called her by her name. Mom. And no, she's just busy. Kimberly Bauer: She's busy a lot. |

MISTAKES/GOOFS
- CREW: Jack is having a shoot out with terrorists on the dock and a cameraman is clearly visible drinking a cup of tea/coffee.
- FACT: The 747 that explodes over the Mojave Desert is stated to have flown direct from Berlin, where the assassin is supposed to have been hired. Berlin doesn't have an international airport, and won't until the new Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport is completed around 2010. The Schoenfeld, Tegel and Tempelhof airports that currently serve Berlin cannot accommodate a 747, and any flight from Berlin to the U.S. would have to connect from Frankfurt or Munich.
- CHAR: When Jack knocks Mason out with the tranquilizer dart, he falls and Jack catches him, checking his pulse. However, Jack checks Mason's pulse with his thumb which isn't the correct way as the thumb has its own pulse.
- CREW: In the first season when Nina has just been shot by Jack she makes her way to a shelter. When she's on the phone a cameraman comes into shot from the right side of the screen
- CONT: The show changed production designers after the pilot episode was filmed, resulting in a different appearance for CTU HQ in from the second hour onwards.
TRIVIA
- This is the second time Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer) and Xander Berkeley (George Mason) have worked together. The first time was in the 1992 movie, A Few Good Men.
- The main shot of the 747 exploding was removed, the show had its premier delayed a month and this scene cut as well as further storyline changes, due to the attacks on the World Trade Center. Nearly all later references to the plane explosion were also removed.
- Most of the original press releases billed the actress who plays Nina Myers as Sarah Lively. She opted to use the name Sarah Clarke instead.
- Shots of a satellite in space in the first episode were taken from Enemy of the State (1998).
- According to series composer Sean Callery, the final picture cut of the pilot episode of Season 1 was the 24th one and was locked on 24 April 2001.
