Hillary?
For more on 24's big rewrite — including what impact it'll have on plans to introduce the show's first female president — check out Ask Ausiello this Wednesday.
Anyone notice this 'reviewer's' obvious bias? Chloe is an 'expert scowler' and 'scene stealer', forsooth. And, Day 6 was pretty bad, but 2nd worst? Worse than 'Vegas'? Worse than the assorted faggy 'comedies'? Worse than bloody Katie Couric?? Worse than 'Close to Home' with that ice cream cone of a ditz? Worse than the always maudlin but oh, so PC 'L&O: Special Victims Unit'? I think not.
Geben sie mir ein BREAK, Schwanstucker!
Why not have a bald old President with a trophy wife!
sounds like my favorite show will have the writers do an ad campaign for the piaps....
if this is the plot.....fox and 24 have lost a faithful fan!!!!
I just wonder how they’ll top last season. As for the critics voting “24” as “the second-worst show”, I wonder how much of that is pure left-wing bias.
Wouldn’t it get the leftists’ panties in a bunch if the president was a black female Republican!
24 jumps the shark?
I will not watch
I was very late to the 24 party. Season 6 was the first time I watched the show. I loved it so much I ordered seasons 1-5 on DVD.
My husband & I have been watching 24 now every night after the kids go to bed. I don’t think we have ever been able to watch one show. We’re always saying at the end of one episode “just one more show”. I’ve been up til 2 in the morning watching 24. I am now about to start season 4.
Just because they depict a female President it doesn’t mean she will be depicted in the best light. Seasons 1-3 showed David Palmer as a flawed man. Wayne Palmer was shown to be weak on defense. I hear a President or two in seasons I haven’t watched were evil. I wouldn’t get upset if they have a woman President because they might not be too kind to her.
Costly plan? I remember a low budget series that was supposed to be in FL, but it was filmed one season in Israel, and another in some forgotten African country that I had to look up at the time (and obviously still have to look up.)
Some of the cars, license plates, and street mail boxes gave an out of place look to the series.
So, without the editing and sets to pretend to look like Africa, wouldn't it be cheaper?
The 5th season was the best followed by the first season and then the others have their moments.
I kind of hoped the show would end after one season because it seems so hard to keep that up for even a whole season but I enjoy it even when it’s not good. It’s just most of the first season and fifth seasons kept me on the edge of my seat while this last season didn’t really do that for me until near the end.
There are going to be two reactions to a nuclear bomb going off in a LA suburb: 1. everyone panics and tries to escape from LA, creating the largest traffic jam in the world. Jack will get nowhere except by helicopter. or 2. martial law is declared and the roads are shut down.
Instead it looked like Valencia being destroyed really didn't affect anyone's life. Maybe LA traffic was a little lighter than normal after the nuke.
Second, CTU get your act together. I'm tired of all the back biting and whining, much less random firings. Send Jack in to kneecap the first CTU member whose personal foibles gets in the way of getting the job done the ashes of Valencia float towards Nevada. And as for the firings, when was the last time a mid level civil servant was fired with less than 6 months worth of notice?
24 used to seem exciting, but last season just annoyed me.
I first picked up on “24” on Day 5. I then rented Day 1. Both were pretty good IMO. Right now, I still haven’t found the time to watch the last three hours of Day 6 that I have on tape. It kinda lost it’s luster last season.
I agree. Last season was in most places been-there-done-that and in other places not very well thought out - especially the reaction to a nuke. This season I think they should have Jack overseas taking out terrorists or working undercover or at least something a little different.
I think I've jumped the shark. This season I'll watch Spongebob reruns instead.

They better hurry and put enough episodes in the can before the Writer’s strike. They’ll have to double up on production. Not good news.
