Chuck Norris went 9 seasons on Walker. Just sayin.

:biggrin: Thanks for the reminder. :puke:As much as I like Chuck Norris that show was terrible. My parents never failed to watch every episode. I sometimes debated even going there for hunting season. :biggrin:

I love 24 -- that being said I am not suprised as yet again as GOB pointed out another mole in the midst of CTU -- Who woulda thunk it - anyway too many JTS moments this year and the show has run its course you can only come up with so many ideas -- but hey it lasted longer than LOST. JUST SAYIN

another show that I never watched once-just like American Idol-Fox is a station I try to avoid

Interesting -- why -- 24 was mindless fun and Fringe is a good Sci-Fi show.

Family Guy -- the Simpsons -- I understand AI and we longer watch due it just plain stinks with the new lineup. Come to think of it there isn't much to watch there besides Football is there. ;)

Hey, I heard there's a mole in CTU. Really? Again? Who is doing the background checks on the security clearance applications at CTU?

I know. Not only that, they seem to make it more and more inplausible. Not only did Katie Sackoff manage to hide her past, she is also a traitor. I missed last week so things could have changed.

IMHO the biggest problem with any stotline is that the last few seasons were so fracticious with storylines taken 180 degree turns every 2 hours.

I was practically getting death threats on twitter for saying I hated 24 and Jack Bauer! lol

You have a twitter following? :eek:

So what will happen?? The terrorists succeed in setting the bomb off? Bauer gets killed? CTU gets shut down by the government when they realize how bad they are at not letting moles work for them?

How do they end it right?

only the crappy movie will tell -- I can not see a big screen version work for this show - I mean look what it did for the X-Files. anyway the ending is supposed to set up a movie -- I will wait for the dvd

Official: '24' ends on Fox

Tick, tick, tick … and done......

......Because of the constant upward spiral of cast and creative team salaries, any drama begins to carry serious financial weight after its fifth year......

Unless the economics of series TV have changed in the past few years, that's because after the fifth complete year, the show can be syndicated out to local TV stations who can play it daily in the daytime/early evening and have one new show per day for a full season. That is why the value of a series, (and I assume salaries as well), zooms up after the fifth year.

In other words, getting five or more complete years done is a great thing to accomplish for a series, not a liability.

I enjoy the show.

Find it hysterical Jakc Bauer and his enemies manage to drive across major Ameircan cities even with lights and sirens in no time flat despite ongoing national crises. Having driven in Washington and LA and living in NY(where I have professionally had the privilege of sometimes being driven lights and sirens), it's far and away the biggest implausibilty.

My son and I have a running gag-Talk Like Jack Bauer.

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

THERE ISN'T MUCH TIME.

Alternate-talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Anything. Like "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost

"Who's woods these are, I think I know..."

Shut up.

You might give hOllyweird ideas.

It would be funny if 24 ends it like Sopranos with Jack rushing to keep the bomb from detonating....and it goes all black.
