24 Fans: Are You on Board For This New Season?
Even though I kinda forgot amid all the Golden Globes mania that the new 24 season was premiering on Sunday, the show managed to nab 12.5 million viewers (which isn't really that bad, all things considered).
Did you see (or TiVo) the premiere? (If so, check out this fun recap quiz.) What do you think so far?
Did Anyone Else Totally Love 24: Redemption Like I Did?
Maybe my expectations were low, but I was impressed by the two-hour 24 "prequel" to the seventh season, "Redemption." Here are a few thoughts on why I liked it:
- For whatever reason, it's still strangely comforting to see Jack Bauer back on TV, doing what he does best (picking off the bad guys, saving the good guys, enduring torture, etc.).
- Kids. Little African kids are at the heart of Jack's major struggle here and while it might be a manipulative tactic, it definitely worked in getting me to care about the story.
- Overall, and especially toward the end, I was on the edge of my seat, stressing out about these people and yelling at my TV again, as though it were the first season of 24 or something.
First Look: 24's Seventh Season
It was almost exactly one year ago when we got our first look at what was to be the seventh season of 24. How foolish we were! A year of production problems and one writers' strike later, here we are again, looking at a trailer for 24's seventh season.
24 Prequel, "Redemption," Looks Intense, Scary
I've had a love-hate relationship with 24 for a long time, now. When it's bad, it's preposterously bad, but when it's good, it's one of the best things ever. Like, jumping off the couch yelling, kind of thing.

Jon Voight is 24's Newest Bad Guy
It's been 40 years since his last regular TV role, but Jon Voight has seen something he likes in 24. Voight will be joining the show for its upcoming seventh season, playing a tormenter of Jack Bauer's.
The Oscar-winning actor — and father of this lady — will play Jack's "uber-nemesis" who's running this season's terrorist plot, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
24 to Head to Africa After All For Prequel
Even without the writers' strike, the seventh season of Fox's 24 might have been in trouble. The show had some fairly legendary production problems that caused the writers to scrap one entire plotline that would have sent Jack to Africa.
Now, it looks like some good will come from the delay after all: The producers will finally get to delve into their Africa storyline — not for a whole season, but for a two-hour prequel designed to fill in the long gap between seasons of the show.
