DCranon21 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 For all of my 24 fans. It's an event series. But who cares, Jack is back Just days after Fox canceled Kiefer Sutherland drama Touch, the actor is returning to Fox to reprise his role as Jack Bauer in a 24 limited series.The continuation of the series -- which spanned 192 episodes and a TV movie from 2001-10 -- will be produced by its former showrunner, Howard Gordon (Homeland). Like the original series, the 12-episode reboot, dubbed 24: Live Another Day, hails from 20th Television and Imagine TV's Brian Grazer with Gordon's banner Teakwood Lane on board to co-produce. Fox will bow the limited project in May 2014. "24 compressed over 12 weeks, Jack is back," Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters early Monday during a conference call ahead of the network's upfront presentation. The executive noted 24 will likely mark Fox's first limited run series with the potential for additional closed-ended stories. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/24-returning-fox-as-event-521653 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Nice...one of my three is coming back!! At one point, I had the honor of following Friday Night Lights, Lost, and 24 at the same time. I've been in a television void since they all went off the air right around the same time.

ixcuincle Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I happened to catch a 30 min preview they did on Fox 5 a few weeks ago, it was pretty cool. I have high hopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm not really excited about this for some reason. I loved the original but I don't really know about this one. It says to me that Fox is running out of ideas. Like a lame movie reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm so ready for this. I can't believe I've had to wait a year for this. I am so pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big#44 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I can't help but think that if this 12 episode run is hugely successful that they won't bring the show back full time. FOX isn't exactly killing it right now with that type of demographic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That was awesome. It's great to have this show back. So much tension again and action scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Was awesome, although the chick killing the dude at the end of the 2nd episode was a little predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheItalianStallion Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It was solid. Better than seasons 6 or 8, but still nothing to blow me away......yet. Has potential, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I thought it was great. Â It's delivering like old school 24 so far. Â And I don't care what anyone says, the best 24 episode ever was season 2 when they brought Jack back in, he shoots the one prisoner they have, then says "I need a hacksaw and duffle bag." Â Â Also in the one season finale when they were in that baseball stadium and he had the guys neck, ran up the wall, flipped and broke it. Â Too ****ing sweeeeeeeet.

Bliz Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Pretty good. But, how about making it take more than 3 seconds for blonde analyst to discover the defective time stamp? The opening chase scene really showed kiefer's age. He doesn't look fast. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachSkin Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Refresh my memory: Other than Chloe, Heller and Audrey, were any of the other characters on Monday night's broadcast part of any previous seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not saying take half the season. Just Go somewhere else for 10 min and then come back to her. Enough time to suggest she had to do a little work, and that it wasn't a glaringly obvious defect that the other intelligence analysts had to be incompetent to miss. It was literally one glance at the paper and bam, done, and took me out of the moment. Had to roll my eyes at how quick it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some minor character whose name we don't even know was in there. But all the major players seemed to be new with the exception of the 4 you mentioned.
