Sad news!

Fox has announced that you 24 fans will have to wait ’til January 2009 to get more Jack Bauer.

Fox execs say that a January 2009 start seemed the best way to give viewers what they want — a season that goes from beginning to end without interruption.

We call Fox's explanation bullshit!

Why don't they just show an abbreviated season or keep airing shows into the summer?

Eight episodes of the new season were filmed before the writer's strike. It's not like they have to start from scratch!

      Re: lisa – Yeah, no shiz. Kiefer Sutherland is only where he is, thanks to his mulit-talented father, Donald Sutherland.

      Cool. Now Kiefer has plenty of spare time to get his drink on.

      How the eff could you show an abbreviated season of TWENTY FOUR?!?! I mean, the name of the show sort of dictates the length of the season…

      they need til then to sober up the keif

    24. Claire says – reply to this


      24

      Because the whole concept of the show is that it takes place in 24 hours, hence the name. And they did talk about showing the 8 episodes they'd shot but the fans didn't like that, they'd rather wait than have the 8. The show is called 24 not 8. Geez!

    25. Tulip says – reply to this


      25

      Oh stop whining. :) We can wait cuz we KNOW it will be worth it!

    26. JJ says – reply to this


      26

      The show is called "24" not "8 with a Break in Between" or "It would be 24 but We're Observing Daylight Savings Time" . Better to wait and have a full 24. It will be worth it.

    27. vc says – reply to this

      i've been waiting months fir the new season to start, supposedly this year…then the CA fire happened, then the arrest, jail and the strike….FOX is taking advantage of the fans..I doubt I will be interested in this show, having not seen it for such a long time…this is bull shit. i'd watch 24 tis year, spring, summer or falll but to wait until JANUARY IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!! There are lots of other shows to watch….

      Check them wacky earlobes!

    29. diana says – reply to this


      29

      no but if your a 24 fan like me you want new episode everyweek it sucks but I rather wait

    30. emmajane says – reply to this


      30

      yeah i smell something too

      its seems a bit of a crap excuse not to continue
      filming and show it later in the year.

    31. Jose says – reply to this


      31

      Stop making up shit! 24 will be back THIS year you dumbass!!

    32. FriscoFran says – reply to this


      32

      Argh. This is the one show I actually watch, and I've already waited a fucking year - and then some. Fuck you, Fox. Way to treat one of your highest rated shows and its fans. Fifty bucks says it just never comes back. Without fail we can see season after season of Flavor of Love, but when its a show that people actually want to see… I blame Rupert Murdoch.

    33. FOX SUCKS says – reply to this


      33

      What the hell? Fox promised that the show would be back in 2008 even if it had to wrong long into the summer or they had to double up the shows (2 hours per evening). I don't see how this is the best course of action for the show as they essentially lose a complete season. How about either showing it two hours per night, two hours per week like the crap fest that is American Idol, or better yet showing one season in the fall and a second season starting in January 09.

    34. suck it says – reply to this


      34

      So pissed. 24 is my favorite show. But I would not want to watch 8 episodes then 6 months later watch the 16. I am glad they are waiting till next year, but I hate waiting for it!!

    35. scar says – reply to this


      35

      ya know you are the most fat cock sucker I have ever seen. If weren't so cocky (oops) and arrogant, people would actually like and not talk behind your fat ass. you need help more than britney spears. like I said before, I love gay people, but because gay asshole like you …general heterosexual assholes want meat cleaver your ass.
      Please for once get a job. Or report a worth cause, research…report the right and accurate news….fucking fubar dumb fuck.

      I am disgusted that I have to wait 20 months for this. Come on people. We should all protest.

    37. KH says – reply to this


      37

      This is just BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting forever for this show and now FOX takes a big dump on all of their fans.

      The last season of 24 (season 6) sucked major balls.

      It started out great with the detonation of a dirty nuclear bomb in LA…then the story went down hill from there with the Chinese and microchips for a nuclear missile.

      If Fox really gave a shit about the fans of the show they would release the 8 episodes now and have the fans decide if it is any good and how the season should procede.Or at the very least air the season in the fall. (Sept. - Dec. )

      Instead the executives at the Fox want to use "24" to promote "American Idol".

      Hopefully, "the fans" will abandon this show and force them to kill off Jack Bauer.

      Re: Isabella – What?!? You need to read up on Kiefer. You are mucho misinformed, and are making yourself look stupid. He has awards and accomplishments of his own up the ying yang. If you don't like him, just say so, but don't spout complete untruths as though you actually know anything about him. You will have to eat your words.

    40. DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! says – reply to this


      40

      I am so pissed off about this! I am addicted to 24 and to have to wait almost another year….that sucks. Those of you who don't watch, try it…..you will get sucked in fast. #10 - How is Almeida coming back…..he died?

    41. jo says – reply to this


      41

      I imagine part of the reason for the delay is that the girl who plays Chloe is so totally pregnant. They filmed the first eight "hours" of the day and suddenly Chloe is THIS BIG. Right….

    42. Lulz Roflcopter says – reply to this


      42

      Actually, it makes alot of sense. The main writer/producer quit the day after the writer's strike ended, so they need time to hire a new head writer and make what has already been filmed, make sense. Better to wait and make it worthwhile, than rush it and ruin a great TV show.

    43. NOOOO! says – reply to this

      No you Retard but the SHOWRUNNER JUST QUIT. The guy who's baby this was just left, so they have to find a NEW ONE before they start up again!

      Re: Isabella – Get a fucking life. Ever seen Young guns?? Young guns 2, A few good men?? A time to kill? Living off his father?? He is a very talented actor. Gimme a break you fucking cunt

    46. Robert says – reply to this


      46

      Re: DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! – This show is addicting. It is one of the best shows on TV. Go to you tube and search for 24 to see the trailer for the 7th season that has Tony in it

    47. You don't know JACK... says – reply to this


      47

      ONE of the showrunners (Surnow) quit you idiots, the others (Gordon & Cochran) are still with the show so that won't cause a major disruption. Fox would not be able to uphold their ad $ commitments by airing in the summer when fewer people on the whole watch tv. Get a clue as to how the tv business works before showing you ignorance on a gossip blog.

    48. jules says – reply to this


      48

      Yes Kiefer may be a fuck-up in real life but he is a talented actor, no doubt.

      Who gives a shit? I won't die if I don't see 24. The fact that I'm writing this is proof since I've never seen the show.

      Re: Yak –
      If you don't like the show or have never seen it then quit commenting on something you know nothing about and get the fuck off here, we don't care about your immature remarks.

      58

      I think probably that since Kiefer started an music label last year plus got jail time for DUI, Fox is taking a little bit of a wait and see attitude.

      24 fans will understand. I don't want the show fucking interrupted by baseball or football every other week! And obviously you don't understand the show if you think they can only show 8 hours.

      You're an idiot!

      Fans sent peanuts to get Jericho back on tv (awesome first episode!) and maybe if we all did something similar, they'd bring 24 back sooner, but it's been so long, I can't remember what that certain something would be? Any ideas?

      WHAT.THE.FUCK. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!??!!?!??! i LIVE for that fucking show!!!! i am so fucking furious. i am writing to FOX right now. I don;'t give a shit what kinds of hits they took….this show is their fucking JEM. they need to find a way to bring it back NOW if they have one fucking functioning brain cell.
