24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub Talks About Upcoming Film
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Gossip,
Actress Mary Lynn Rajskub thinks fans would be thrilled if President David Palmer could somehow be incorporated into the upcoming 24 fim. Palmer, who was played by Dennis Haysbert on the series' first four seasons, was assassinated at the beginning of Day 5.
"I'd like President Palmer to come back, I think a lot of people liked him. I wish Michelle Dessler wasn't dead, I wish Edgar wasn't dead," she said.
So does this mean we can count on seeing systems analyst Chloe O'Brian in the film? "I think I'll be back, I hope so. I don't know what will happen in it," Rajskub said.

Will 24 Move to NBC?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Cancellations, Renewals, Rumors,
Season 9 of 24 could see Jack Bauer’s biggest challenge to date. If the program is canceled as rumored by FOX, Kiefer Sutherland be paired with a new team member—a peacock.
According to Entertainment Weekly, NBC is entertaining the possibility of airing the series should their rivals give up on it. Although 24 has lost ground in the ratings, it still outperforms many of the shows on the fourth place network. Unfortunately, the drama also comes with a pricey budget.
Even if 24 is not picked up - by anyone - next season, Bauer may still see some action. A big screen version of the program has already been in the works.

24 Production Temporarily Halted for Sutherland Surgery
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, News,
On 24, Jack Bauer can take a beating yet still complete his mission on time. In real life, Kiefer Sutherland needs a bit more recovery time.
Due to a ruptured cyst near the actor’s kidneys, filming on his series has been briefly shut down while Sutherland undergoes minor surgery. The incident, which occurred early last week, should have minor impact on the show’s production schedule.
“We are temporarily suspending production of 24 while our friend and colleague Kiefer Sutherland undergoes a medical procedure,” FOX execs said in a statement. “We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season’s episodes.”
“While Kiefer Sutherland is frustrated to miss even one day of work, he and FOX decided together that it would be best to complete this minor elective procedure now as a precaution as opposed to six weeks from now when production wraps,” the 43-year-old’s rep added. “He looks forward to returning to work (this) week.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Video,
“You’re lucky I’m retired.”
When given a chance to either move to Los Angeles with his daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) or get caught up in another day of hell, Jack Bauer makes the smart choice: he throws himself into harm’s way.
In this trailer for Season 8 of 24, Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) finds himself in New York trying to stop the assassination of a Middle Eastern leader (Slumdog Millionaire‘s Anil Kapoor) at the United Nations. New faces helping him along with this mission include Katee Sackhoff, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Mykelti Williamson.
24 returns to FOX’s schedule on January 17.

Sunday Ratings: 24 Makes Up for Lost Time
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Award Shows, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Amazing Race, The, Ratings,
Although it had been 18 months since we last left Jack Bauer (longer than the writers’ strike itself), fans still cared enough to welcome 24 back. Even though it was down 23% from Season 6’s debut, last night’s two-hour “bridge” movie - with help from an earlier football overrun - gave FOX wins in the viewers and the demos.

UPDATE: Kiefer Sutherland Gets 48 Days in Jail
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, News,
In 24 time, Jack Bauer had this legal matter resolved in a mere 10 minutes.
Wanting to quickly put his Sept. 25th incident behind him, actor Kiefer Sutherland pleaded no contest today to a misdemeanor drunk driving charge. Assuming the judge accepts the arrangements of the plea deal, Sutherland will serve a recommended total of 48 days in jail. At the formal sentencing on Dec. 21th, prosecutors will ask that Kiefer serve 30 days for the DUI charge and an additional 18 for violating probation. This was Sutherland’s fourth DUI-related offense; he was still on probation for a 2004 incident.
If all goes according to plan, Kiefer will be able to serve part of his stint in late December (while 24 is still in hiatus) and the remainder after the show’s finale.

24’s Kiefer Sutherland Booked For DUI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, News,
Wow. When’s the last time a man was busted for doing something stupid?
Kiefer Sutherland was booked this earlier this morning for a misdemeanor DUI. The actor, who had attended a FOX party earlier in the evening, was initially pulled over for making an illegal U-turn in West Hollywood. TMZ reports that Sutherland was subsequently taken in for blowing twice the legal limit for alcohol. He has since been released from custody after posting his bail. (NOTE TO FOX HONCHOS: If you are going to throw a party for your celebs, shouldn’t you make sure they don’t embarrass you by leaving drunk? Just a thought.)
This is Sutherland’s 2nd DUI within five years; if convicted, he must serve a minimum 5-day jail stint. He is scheduled to make his next court appearance on October 16th.
Meanwhile, the next season of 24 is scheduled to begin January 13th. (Those interested in reading a major show spoiler, click here.)

Janeane Garofalo Joins ‘24’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Prime Time, FOX, NBC, 24, West Wing, The, Announcements,
Janeane Garofalo (Ratatouille, The Truth About Cats and Dogs) will once again channel her serious side and enter the world of TV politics. The actress-comedian brought her signature snarky flair to NBC’s The West Wing and now she’ll (hopefully!) do the same for Fox’s 24.
Garofalo will star in the show’s seventh season as the requisite government agent who investigates Jack Bauer’s latest crisis. I am regrettably doubtful - but seriously hopeful - that she can help bring the show a much-needed spark. Season 6 was such a ridiculous bore that I can’t even remember how it ended.
Those needing to review last year’s recaps (like me) have until September 10th to get all caught up.

24 Gets Two More Years
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Renewals,
Fear not, loyal 24 fans, the Emmy-winning show will be around for a couple more seasons. In the land of 24, however, that’s really only two days. 24 has been a ratings winner for Fox for the past six seasons (somehow I can’t believe it’s been on that long) and this season’s finale will air May 21st. Star Kiefer Sutherland has a contract through 2008-09, when the series is expected to wrap. So, at least fans can be assured that Jack Bauer will ride out the series until the very end. What’s in store for season number seven? Well, producers say that some big changes will be in the works—only you’ll have to tune in to find out. Or read recaps, I suppose.
