"24" Rolls On
Posted May 16th, 2007 by Rich Heldenfels
This from Fox today:
As the clock ticks toward the climactic final two hours of 24’s Season Six on Monday, May 21 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), FOX has extended the Emmy Award-winning series for two additional seasons through 2008-2009.
24 was last year’s most Emmy Award-winning television series with five Emmys, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Kiefer Sutherland) and Outstanding Drama Series. The show promises to combine its unique and trend-setting format with compelling new elements. Each episode will cover one hour of real time, and the season’s entire story will take place in one terrifying day. Viewers again will follow Jack Bauer through a day that none of them will ever forget.
With this season disappointing many fans, there have been reports of a shakeup at the show, which I suppose explains the reference to "compelling new elements."
A little later I expect to have some comments on last night's "Veronica Mars" and "Gilmore Girls," as well as the "Idol" performances.

I stopped watching 24 this year because I felt that the storyline was becoming well worn and overused. In fact I felt like the writers were bored and had resorted to writing the scripts as they went along much like "Lost" does.
24 can be saved if the writers just ask their selves how they can have Jack kill just about every bad guy then when everyone hopes that he plugs a rotten President they somehow let him live. Now if I was Jack I would have blasted that little worm in a second and never batted an eye.
I know how the Repos watch the show and I kind of hope that they get an idea what could happen if our country doesn't clear the crooks out of Washington.
