the series is returning to Fox
Do
you remember all those false starts with talk of a 24 movie after the
series ended? Well, I guess it is better to keep the network afloat
instead. Despite losing interest in the show after around 3-4
seasons, I am actually looking forward to this (restart). We know
that this is just another attempt to get people back to watching
network TV, but I am down with a shorter version of the show.
I've changed my mind on the movie subject though. I still think a movie could work as a compressed 2 hour event. Jack has to save someone in 2 hours...in real time. It could work.
From
Huffington Post.com, ((Sutherland
is set to reprise his starring role as Jack Bauer, which he played
for eight seasons from 2001-2010. Fox
just canceled Sutherland's drama "Touch," which
ran for two seasons, making way for a "24" return.
))
It
was pretty nice of Fox to give him another show after “firing”
him.
From
Huffington Post, ((Fox
Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly confirmed the "24"
return on a press call Monday morning. "'24' compressed over
twelve weeks. Jack is back," Reilly said.
))
I
guess we can call the show 12 instead of 24. I am fine seeing a
miniseries, but eight seasons of full episodes were enough for that
series. I guess we'll see strange plot twists that don't make sense
and a lot of Jack yelling, “Put the gun down!” and “Damn it!”
I
loved the show, but some of the twists were a little silly. However,
seeing him kill a bunch of bad guys will be cool again.
And,
please keep his daughter out of the show.
