Below The Beltway

It’s been a long wait for 24 fans. The last new episode of Season Six aired way back in May 2007, and then the premiere of Season 7 got delayed by last year’s writer’s strike. With Season 7 itself still almost two months away, it was nice to spend a night with old friends.
But this [...]

The New York Times reviews Sunday’s 24 tele-movie:
The word “Redemption,” on the other hand, is quite apt. The title refers to Bauer’s efforts to expiate past sins with good works, but it also suggests that the writers have embarked on a self-improvement regimen. Set in the middle of a harrowing civil war in the barely [...]

The seventh season of 24, delayed last year by the writer’s strike, finally has a start date:
Jack Bauer’s long-delayed seventh day finally hits the airwaves with a two-night premiere on Jan. 11 and 12.
Pre-empted last year due to the writer’s strike, “24″ returns for two hours on both nights before settling into its regular time [...]

All I can say is, I can’t wait:

Which movie (or television) President was best in a crisis?
It was a tough choice, but in the end I had to go with David Palmer over Laura Roslin.

Here’s what appears to be an unofficial (I’m calling it that based on the odd sounding narration which I’m betting will change before the trailer airs on Fox) for the 24 telemovie 24:Exile, which shows up on television on November 23, 2008:

It looks like Jack Bauer fans won’t have to wait until 2009 after all:
The original plan for “24 : Day 7” was for Jack Bauer to head to Africa for a couple of episodes. That didn’t work out. When the season was delayed due to the writer’s strike – it only just started resuming filming [...]

Well, this just morphs into several levels of coolness:

And, the cast list:
That’s our man, Jack (Kiefer Sutherland, of course), front and center, naturally, but here’s the rest of the cast, from left to right:
• Rhys Coiro, as FBI agent Sean Hillinger
• Janeane Garofalo, as FBI agent Janis Gold.
• Jeffrey Nordling, as FBI agent Larry Moss
• [...]

Last season on 24, which seems like so long ago thanks to the writer’s strike, one of Jack Bauer’s chief antagonists was his father Philip Bauer, played by James Cameron Cromwell. While Cameron Cromwell played the role well, there were those, myself included, who wondered why they didn’t just cast Jack Bauer’s real father, specifically [...]

With only two episode’s left in the short second season, things aren’t looking good for Season No. 3:
With only two episodes left to air, “Jericho” has a long way to climb back to the kind of audiences it had in the first season after hitting its lowest rating of the season Tuesday night.
“Jericho” earned a [...]
