Jack Bauer Free, Scripted Television Still Held Captive



After living 48 days like an illegal alien (being locked in a cell, doing laundry for athletes), Kiefer Sutherland is now free to roam the drunk-driver ridden streets once more.

He's sworn off booze forever, much like Jack Bauer has sworn off heroin and girls with puffy lips away.

Is it a coincidence that the week Jack Bauer returns to society that the WGA is planing an "informal meeting with studios" this week?

Please God let it be so.

But until we are cleansed of this horrible television landscape that is full of reruns and reality shows, I'll be here mocking "24: Day Zero."

I've been denying its existence for a while and now it's time to strangle it to death. Talk soon friends.

    The "said" in there doesn't make sense.

  4. I hope they reach an agreement soon. Otherwise, there's a rumor afloat that 24 will be put off until next Fall or even 2009 at the earliest

  5. Looks like 2009 is the date.... if the AP is to be believed.

    From CNN:
    Other shows, including ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money" and NBC's "Chuck," also aren't expected until fall. And Fox's "24" is unlikely to be back until early 2009.

    Not Cool!
