With less than two months to go until <em>24 </em>returns for its New York City set eighth season (it premieres on Sunday, January 17th and Monday, January 18th with the traditional two-night, four-hour event), FOX has released the official cast photo with the new and returning series regulars.<br />
<br />
For as cool as <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/22/an-early-look-24-season-7-cast-and-episodes-video/">last season's cast shot was with the Lincoln Memorial in the background</a>, this one trumps it and then some -- the United Nations backdrop is very, <em>very </em>cool. You have to wonder though... think there's any meaning to the flags that are visible? From left to right, the first three are the UK, the US, and Nicaragua. The fourth one in line is harder to make out. I'm probably reading into it too much, but you never know when it comes to <em>24 </em>-- anything could be a clue.<br />
<br />

The official trailer for Jack Bauer's eighth very bad day (which has <em>24</em>'s traditional 2-night 4-hour premiere on January 17th and 18th) aired last night.<br /> <br /> While it doesn't shed too much light on the new season (which takes place in <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/16/jack-bauer-is-taking-on-the-big-apple/">NYC</a>), one thing is for certain -- despite how we last saw Jack, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/24-6-00am-7-00am-7-00am-8-00am-season-finale/">sick as a dog with Kim by his side</a>, the guy seems pretty healthy now. And a healthy Jack Bauer means an ass-kicking Jack Bauer, retired or not.<br /> <br /> It's been revealed that the new season will focus on the assassination attempt of a Middle Eastern political figure played by <em>Slumdog Millionaire</em>'s Anil Kapoor. He gets a little bit of play here in the trailer as well as a quick glimpse of the resurrected CTU. But let's be honest -- all we care about seeing is Jack, even though he is a grandpa now. Check it and tell us what you think! <br /> <br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/check-out-the-trailer-for-season-eight-of-24/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19215345/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/check-out-the-trailer-for-season-eight-of-24/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>24 season 8 trailer</category><category>Anil Kapoor</category><category>day 8</category><category>FOX</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>season 8</category><category>trailer</category><category>video</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:08:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Will Jack Bauer be killed off?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/04/will-jack-bauer-be-killed-off/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/04/will-jack-bauer-be-killed-off/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/04/will-jack-bauer-be-killed-off/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="236" border="0" align="right" width="250" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/24_kiefer_sutherland_elisha_cuthbert_1.jpg"  alt="kiefer sutherland and elisha cuthbert in 24" />I wasn't particularly impressed with season seven of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/"><em>24</em></a>, partly because I really want Jack Bauer to be <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/08/three-join-cast-of-24-will-jack-bauer-get-back-to-kicking-ass/">the kick-ass character he used to be</a>, rather than the sickly guy struggling to survive (well, he's always been struggling, but in more of a kick-ass way). <br />
<br />
The show took some heat for some of the earlier implausible plotlines (Really, Jack? You escape from the Secret Service guys and steal a helicopter to save the President? And say what? You spring back to life after being "dead" to find the bombs and save the world?), but that's what I loved about the show. <br />
<br />
But could the Jack Bauer era be coming to an end? Kiefer Sutherland recently told <em>Contact Music</em> that <a href="http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/sutherland-i-could-be-killed-off-from-24_1117873">he fears his character might be killed off</a>.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/04/will-jack-bauer-be-killed-off/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19183735/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/04/will-jack-bauer-be-killed-off/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>24 season 7</category><category>24 season 8</category><category>24Season7</category><category>24Season8</category><category>david anders</category><category>DavidAnders</category><category>freddie prinze jr.</category><category>FreddiePrinzeJr.</category><category>jack bauer killed off</category><category>JackBauerKilledOff</category><category>julian morris</category><category>JulianMorris</category><category>katee sackhoff</category><category>KateeSackhoff</category><category>kiefer sutherland</category><category>KieferSutherland</category><category>stephen root</category><category>StephenRoot</category><dc:creator>Jane Boursaw</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Stephen Root to guest star on 24</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/24/stephen-root-to-guest-star-on-24/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/24/stephen-root-to-guest-star-on-24/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/24/stephen-root-to-guest-star-on-24/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="276" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/09/officespace2.jpg" alt="Office Space" /><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0740535/">Stephen Root</a> has had an incredibly prolific career. He may not be a headliner, but you always remember him as something that has influenced pop culture (usually <em>NewsRadio </em>or the movie <em>Office Space</em>). Now he will be adding to his long acting resum&eacute; by <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i1224fdfbab2618f364ec98cf7414837f">appearing on the Fox series <em>24</em></a> as a parole officer.<br />
<br />
The wonderful thing about Root is how he can play a multitude of characters. To use the previous examples, his character on <em>Office Space</em>, Milton Waddams, is nothing like his character on <em>NewsRadio</em>, Jimmy James. Neither of them are like his character from True Blood, Eddie. Well, you get the idea.<br />
<br />
I'm also impressed with his ability to go from comedy to drama and back while mastering both types of performance. Yes, I'm a Stephen Root fan.<br />
<br />
This is an incredible gain for <em>24</em>. I may tune in just to see what sort of character he'll be playing in this one.<br />

Not as a supporting character, but a lead role. I think he has proven himself to be a good actor, good with both the dark stuff and the funny stuff, on shows like <em>Alias</em> (Julian Sark) and <em>Heroes</em> (Adam Monroe). I think he could carry a show. <br /><br />For now, though, we'll have to be content with seeing him in supporting roles, including this new one. <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b139695_david_anders_joins_jack_bauer_in_season.html?sid=twitterfeed_kristin&amp;utm_source=eonline&amp;utm_medium=twitterfeed&amp;utm_campaign=twitterfeed_kristin">Anders has joined the cast of <em>24</em></a> for the 8th (and possibly last?) season.

It even makes sense that she's been cast, since <em>24 </em>is very much like <em>Battlestar Galactica </em>but with less of a science fiction vibe (particularly if you substitute "Cylon" for "double-agent"). There is likely a lot of crossover appeal.<br /><br />She is set to play a character named Dana Walsh, a CTU data analyst. Secretly I'm hoping she won't be stuck behind a desk decrypting computer files or anything boring like that and we'll be able to see her take down a terrorist or two (or whomever the enemy is next season).<br /><br />This is a good casting choice and almost makes up for the show's casting of Freddie Prinze, Jr.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/08/starbuck-helps-jack-bauer-fight-the-terrorist-cylons/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19061185/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/08/starbuck-helps-jack-bauer-fight-the-terrorist-cylons/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Fox</category><category>Katee Sackhoff</category><category>KateeSackhoff</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>KieferSutherland</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:47:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Freddie Prinze Jr. joins the cast of 24</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/28/freddie-prinze-jr-joins-the-cast-of-24/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/28/freddie-prinze-jr-joins-the-cast-of-24/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/28/freddie-prinze-jr-joins-the-cast-of-24/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="122" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/05/75376-prinze_freddie_341.jpg" alt="Freddie Prinze Jr." />Freddie Prinze Jr. <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i7091575e2b2c21c220fb154fbf47cef8">will be joining the cast of <em>24</em></a> for the eighth season as a recently-returned marine and Jack Bauer-wannabe named Davis Cole. I think this is an example of Fox either wanting to expand or continue the franchise without Kiefer Sutherland.<br /><br />Think about it. Sutherland is only getting older. He can't be Jack Bauer forever. Prinze is a younger, recognizable face (much as all of us want to forget the <em>Scooby Doo</em> movie franchise). This could be the set-up for one of three things: the retirement of Jack Bauer from <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/"><em>24</em></a>, a spin-off series, or an opportunity to have more negotiating power for Kiefer Sutherland's next contract renewal. It could even be a combination of the three.<br /><br />So the question to ask is: could the series continue without Jack Bauer, or would that be the beginning of the end? Since the name of the show is <em>24</em> and not <em>Jack Bauer</em>, I would think so.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/28/freddie-prinze-jr-joins-the-cast-of-24/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19050029/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/28/freddie-prinze-jr-joins-the-cast-of-24/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Fox</category><category>Freddie Prinze Jr.</category><category>FreddiePrinzeJr.</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>JackBauer</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>KieferSutherland</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2009 11:33:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>What celebrity do you want on your answering machine?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/25/what-celebrity-do-you-want-on-your-answering-machine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/25/what-celebrity-do-you-want-on-your-answering-machine/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/25/what-celebrity-do-you-want-on-your-answering-machine/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/late-night/" rel="tag">Late Night</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/talk-show/" rel="tag">Talk Show</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p>Kiefer Sutherland was on<em> Late Night with Jimmy Fallon</em> on Friday and talked about <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/"><em>24</em></a> and, well, that whole head-butting thing (which has now been settled). He also did Fallon a favor by recording an outgoing message for him in his Jack Bauer persona (whole interview below - phone segment is near the end).<br /><br />Not sure who I'd want on my answering machine. Maybe a character from <em>The Simpsons</em>, Jack Donaghy from <em>30 Rock</em>, or Ben from <em>Lost</em>. I don't watch<em> Idol,</em> but having Simon on my phone could be funny.

<p>When <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/"><em>24</em></a> first premiered back in 2001, we were all taken off guard. It was so different, innovative, and action packed - like nothing we'd seen on TV ever before. But do you remember why it worked so well? Sure, there was a vast conspiracy that enshrouded the whole day in darkness, but for the most part, it was all about Jack and his family. The Bauers were what made Day 1 so memorable.</p>
<p>You felt horrible when Jack held Teri's lifeless body in those final seconds, and it was because the season focus was weighted towards them and not Drazen or Nina. Because of that formula, the show took off and with each season from then on, <em>24</em> became bigger than itself and so did the conspiracies. Then the bubble burst with Day 6 when it all came crashing down - we'd seen enough nukes, bio-pathogens, and Middle Eastern terrorists. The difference? All of that became more important than Jack. After Day 7's stellar finale, I think we can all agree that <em>24</em> has found its roots again.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/24-6-00am-7-00am-7-00am-8-00am-season-finale/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1547266/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/18/24-6-00am-7-00am-7-00am-8-00am-season-finale/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>6:00AM 7:00AM</category><category>7:00AM 8:00AM</category><category>Aaron Pierce</category><category>Annie Wersching</category><category>Bob Gunton</category><category>Carlos Bernard</category><category>Cherry Jones</category><category>Chloe OBrian</category><category>CTU</category><category>Day 7</category><category>Elisha Cuthbert</category><category>Ethan Kanin</category><category>FBI</category><category>FOX</category><category>Glenn Morshower</category><category>hour 23</category><category>hour 24</category><category>Howard Gordon</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Janeane Garofalo</category><category>Janis Gold</category><category>Joel Surnow</category><category>Jon Cassar</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>Kim Bauer</category><category>Mary Lynn Rajskub</category><category>Olivia Taylor</category><category>President Allison Taylor</category><category>real time</category><category>Renee Walker</category><category>S07E23</category><category>S07E24</category><category>Season 7</category><category>season finale</category><category>Sprague Grayden</category><category>Tony Almeida</category><category>Washington DC</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2009 23:59:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Will Jimmy Fallon take down Sutherland 'Bauer-style'? </title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/14/will-jimmy-take-down-sutherland-bauer-style/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/14/will-jimmy-take-down-sutherland-bauer-style/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/14/will-jimmy-take-down-sutherland-bauer-style/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/late-night/" rel="tag">Late Night</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="299" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/05/jimmyfallona.jpg" alt="Jimmy Fallon" />Jimmy Fallon has put himself in an interesting position. Not that kind, sickos. <br /><br />Next week, he welcomes <a href="http://nbcumv.com/release_detail.nbc/entertainment-20090512000000-listingsfor34la.html"><em>24</em> star Kiefer Sutherland</a> to the <em>Late Night</em> studios in the wake of his latest assault charge in which he allegedly <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/Television/story?id=7527572&amp;page=1">head-butted</a> a fashion designer outside of a night club. I'm calling it "Butt-Gate" because I won't get that opportunity again until Jennifer Lopez and Shakira get into a fist fight. <br /><br />The question for Fallon is how hard will he interview Sutherland on this latest incident that could land him in jail on <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=7523252">a probation violation</a>. This could be a defining moment for Fallon as a late night host. Granted, he's not interviewing the head of the Saudi Royal Family or even the head of the Hilton family, but it could either give him and his show some juice or take some away.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/14/will-jimmy-take-down-sutherland-bauer-style/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1545619/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/14/will-jimmy-take-down-sutherland-bauer-style/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>kiefer</category><category>kiefer sutherland</category><category>kiefer sutherland interview</category><category>kiefer-sutherland-update-brooke-shields-blames- her-6-heels</category><category>Kiefer-sutherland-update-brooke-shields-blames-Her-6-heels</category><category>KieferSutherland</category><category>KieferSutherlandInterview</category><category>late night with jimmy fallon</category><category>LateNightWithJimmyFallon</category><category>torture</category><category>torture porn</category><category>TorturePorn</category><category>twenty four</category><category>TwentyFour</category><dc:creator>Danny Gallagher</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2009 13:04:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>24: 5:00AM - 6:00AM</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/24-5-00am-6-00am/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/24-5-00am-6-00am/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/24-5-00am-6-00am/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img hspace="4" vspace="4" border="0" align="middle" alt="Kiefer Sutherland" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/05/24s07e22tvs425.jpg" /><br />(<em>S07E22</em>) <em>"Why did you betray me?" - Jack</em></p>
<p>Since next week's finale is actually the last two hours of the season back-to-back, I think it's safe to refer to tonight's hour as Day 7's penultimate episode. As is so often the case with pivotal installments that precede a finale (especially with <em>24</em>), going into it, I couldn't help shake the feeling that the bio-terror threat would be erased for good only to reveal one more crisis ready to spill over into next week. I'm not trying to say that it was predictable, but ... well ... nevermind. It <em>was</em> predictable.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/24-5-00am-6-00am/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1539588/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/24-5-00am-6-00am/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>5:00AM 6:00AM</category><category>Aaron Pierce</category><category>Annie Wersching</category><category>Bob Gunton</category><category>BobGunton</category><category>Carlos Bernard</category><category>Cherry Jones</category><category>Chloe OBrian</category><category>CTU</category><category>Day 7</category><category>Elisha Cuthbert</category><category>Ethan Kanin</category><category>EthanKanin</category><category>FBI</category><category>FOX</category><category>Glenn Morshower</category><category>hour 22</category><category>Howard Gordon</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Janeane Garofalo</category><category>Janis Gold</category><category>Joel Surnow</category><category>Jon Cassar</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>Kim Bauer</category><category>Mary Lynn Rajskub</category><category>Olivia Taylor</category><category>President Allison Taylor</category><category>real time</category><category>Renee Walker</category><category>S07E22</category><category>Season 7</category><category>Sprague Grayden</category><category>Tony Almeida</category><category>Washington DC</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2009 22:01:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Kiefer Sutherland knows how to use his head</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/07/kiefer-sutherland-knows-how-to-use-his-head/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/07/kiefer-sutherland-knows-how-to-use-his-head/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/07/kiefer-sutherland-knows-how-to-use-his-head/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pickups-and-renewals/" rel="tag">Pickups and Renewals</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img hspace="4" border="0" align="right" vspace="4" alt="Kiefer Sutherland" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/03/24s07e11tvs030209-2.jpg" />Unlike Jack Bauer, Kiefer Sutherland doesn't throw any punches. Literally.</p>
<p>According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sutherland was in attendance at an NYC club this past Monday night when fashion designer Jack McCollough "rudely bumped" into actress Brooke Shields while she was speaking with Sutherland. After McCollough refused to apologize - wait for it - <a href="http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/05/kiefer-sutherland-headbutt.html">Sutherland <em>headbutted</em> him</a>!</p>
Normally, this wouldn't be that big a deal. Celebrity makes a boo-boo, money exchanges hands out of court, problem solved. However, fans of <em>24</em> may recall that during production of the FOX drama's seventh season, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/10/11/kiefer-sutherland-to-spend-48-days-in-jail-but-not-all-at-once/">Sutherland was busted for drunk driving</a>. He served 48 days in jail but it never interfered with production because the writer's strike halted it.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/07/kiefer-sutherland-knows-how-to-use-his-head/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1539192/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/07/kiefer-sutherland-knows-how-to-use-his-head/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>Brooke Shields</category><category>drunk driving</category><category>DUI</category><category>head butt</category><category>headbutt</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Jack McCollough</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>season eight</category><category>season seven</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2009 12:22:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>24: 4:00AM - 5:00AM</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/05/24-4-00am-5-00am/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/05/24-4-00am-5-00am/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/05/24-4-00am-5-00am/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img alt="Jack (Kiefer Sutherland, second from L) and Renee (Annie Wersching, second from R) rescue Hamid (Rafi Gavron, R)." hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/05/24_sc-2128_022tvs425.jpg" align="middle" vspace="4" border="0" /><br />(<em>S07E21</em>) <em>"I have to see this through." - Jack</em></p>
<p>After a run of so many good episodes, it had to happen sooner or later - the calm before the storm. Hour 21 wasn't much more than that. A lot of filler and only a little bit of action.</p>
<p>All the events that are going to play out over the season's final three episodes were set in motion, but it was done with such a deliberately slow pacing that you probably would have been fine just watching next week's "Previously on <em>24</em>" clip.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/05/24-4-00am-5-00am/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1534056/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/05/24-4-00am-5-00am/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>4:00AM 5:00AM</category><category>Aaron Pierce</category><category>Annie Wersching</category><category>Carlos Bernard</category><category>Cherry Jones</category><category>Chloe OBrian</category><category>CTU</category><category>Day 7</category><category>FBI</category><category>FOX</category><category>Glenn Morshower</category><category>hour 21</category><category>Howard Gordon</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Janeane Garofalo</category><category>Janis Gold</category><category>Joel Surnow</category><category>Jon Cassar</category><category>Jon Voight</category><category>Jonas Hodges</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>Mary Lynn Rajskub</category><category>Olivia Taylor</category><category>President Allison Taylor</category><category>real time</category><category>Renee Walker</category><category>S07E21</category><category>Season 7</category><category>Sprague Grayden</category><category>Tony Almeida</category><category>Washington DC</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2009 08:26:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>24: 3:00AM - 4:00AM</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/28/24-3-00am-4-00am/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/28/24-3-00am-4-00am/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/28/24-3-00am-4-00am/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img hspace="4" border="0" align="middle" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/04/247x20tvs425.jpg" alt="Jon Voight as Jonas Hodges on '24.'" /><br />(<em>S07E20</em>) <em>"Another attack today is all we need to push this thing right over the edge." - Tony</em></p>
<p>Only four hours left. All the pieces are in motion and sides have been chosen. Following Tony's betrayal last week, things have progressed quickly - his cohorts aren't exactly the waiting type.

<p>Wow - talk about a complete 180&deg;. A lot of this season has played it safe, but after last week's shocking final minutes, Day 7 has kicked into overdrive. During last night's episode, at times it felt like we were watching something out of season five. It was that tense. New conspiracies, new players, and confirmation of the one thing we've all assumed but couldn't bring ourselves to admit - Tony has been lying to Jack all day.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/21/24-2-00am-3-00am/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1522289/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/21/24-2-00am-3-00am/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>2:00AM 3:00AM</category><category>Aaron Pierce</category><category>Annie Wersching</category><category>Carlos Bernard</category><category>Cherry Jones</category><category>Chloe OBrian</category><category>Day 7</category><category>FBI</category><category>FOX</category><category>Glenn Morshower</category><category>hour 19</category><category>Howard Gordon</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Janeane Garofalo</category><category>Janis Gold</category><category>Joel Surnow</category><category>Jon Cassar</category><category>Jon Voight</category><category>Jonas Hodges</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>Mary Lynn Rajskub</category><category>Olivia Taylor</category><category>President Allison Taylor</category><category>real time</category><category>Renee Walker</category><category>S07E18</category><category>Season 7</category><category>Sprague Grayden</category><category>Tony Almeida</category><category>Washington DC</category><category>Will Patton</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2009 08:22:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Jack Bauer is taking on the Big Apple</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/16/jack-bauer-is-taking-on-the-big-apple/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/16/jack-bauer-is-taking-on-the-big-apple/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/16/jack-bauer-is-taking-on-the-big-apple/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/industry/" rel="tag">Industry</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img alt="Son of a bitch, give me your Metrocard!" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/03/24s07e11tvs030209-2.jpg" align="right" vspace="4" border="0" son="" of="" a="" give="" me="" your="" />Jack Bauer's very bad seventh day on <em>24</em> still has six hours to go, but we already know where he's headed next:</p>
<p>New York City.</p>
<p>Season seven's two-hour finale is scheduled to air on FOX on Monday, May 18th and production on the show's eighth season begins right around the same time. <a href="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/04/exclusive-24-mo.html">EW's Michael Ausiello has confirmed that the Big Apple</a> is going to be Bauer's next metropolitan playground.</p>
<p>NYC isn't the only change in store for Jack though.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/16/jack-bauer-is-taking-on-the-big-apple/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1519416/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/16/jack-bauer-is-taking-on-the-big-apple/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>CSI NY</category><category>FOX</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>Los Angeles</category><category>Mary Lynn Rajskub</category><category>New York City</category><category>Washington DC</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:24:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>24: 1:00AM - 2:00AM</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/14/24-1-00am-2-00am/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/14/24-1-00am-2-00am/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/14/24-1-00am-2-00am/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img hspace="4" border="0" align="middle" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/04/24_sc-1834_058tvs425.jpg" alt="Elisha Cuthbert as Kim Bauer on '24.'" /><br />(<em>S07E18</em>) <em>"Kim, I'm dying." - Jack</em></p>
<p>That, my friends, is what you call a game changer. Initially, I wasn't feeling the vibe of this episode. It was slow, predictable, and <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/09/12/elisha-cuthbert-gearing-up-for-another-great-day/">the Kim/Jack reunion that we've known about for ages</a> was about as anti-climactic as you can get. But it worked. Kim's return created precisely the distraction we needed so that hour eighteen's final minutes made our jaws drops. <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/13/carlos-bernard-the-tv-squad-interview/">When I spoke with Carlos Bernard recently</a>, he said that production was shut down for over a month at one point to reassess the direction of <em>one</em> episode. I'm guessing this was it.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/14/24-1-00am-2-00am/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1515795/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/14/24-1-00am-2-00am/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>1:00AM 2:00AM</category><category>24</category><category>Aaron Pierce</category><category>Annie Wersching</category><category>Carlos Bernard</category><category>Cherry Jones</category><category>Chloe OBrian</category><category>Day 7</category><category>Elisha Cuthbert</category><category>FBI</category><category>FOX</category><category>Glenn Morshower</category><category>hour 18</category><category>Howard Gordon</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Janeane Garofalo</category><category>Janis Gold</category><category>Jeffrey Nordling</category><category>Joel Surnow</category><category>Jon Cassar</category><category>Jon Voight</category><category>Jonas Hodges</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>Kim Bauer</category><category>Larry Moss</category><category>Mary Lynn Rajskub</category><category>Olivia Taylor</category><category>President Allison Taylor</category><category>real time</category><category>Renee Walker</category><category>S07E18</category><category>Season 7</category><category>Sprague Grayden</category><category>Tony Almeida</category><category>Washington DC</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Carlos Bernard: The TV Squad Interview</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/13/carlos-bernard-the-tv-squad-interview/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/13/carlos-bernard-the-tv-squad-interview/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/13/carlos-bernard-the-tv-squad-interview/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/interviews/" rel="tag">Interviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img height="298" alt="Carlos Bernard as Tony Almeida in '24.'" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/03/24_scene-307_012tvs425.jpg" width="425" align="top" vspace="4" border="0" /><br /></p>

<p>Look at him! American hero turned rogue black-ops bad-ass turned American hero again. Carlos Bernard has taken Tony Almeida around the block more than once on FOX's tick-tocking drama <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/">24</a></em>. Despite the fact that he "died" in season five, Bernard has made one thing clear during Tony's "resurrection" on the show's seventh season - you can't keep a <em>good</em> man down.</p>
<p>I had the chance to speak to Bernard last week. Lots of scoop on the remainder of the current season, some info on the soul-patch era, and the one thing that everyone is dying to know - where's Tony's Cubs mug?</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/13/carlos-bernard-the-tv-squad-interview/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1502756/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/13/carlos-bernard-the-tv-squad-interview/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>Carlos Bernard</category><category>Day 7</category><category>featured</category><category>FOX</category><category>interview</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>season seven</category><category>The Tony Danza Show</category><category>Tony Almeida</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:20:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>How well do YOU know 24?

Who played President Palmer in Season Five? Who killed Teri Bauer at the end of Season One? <br /><br />These questions and more are featured in a <em>24</em> quiz written by our illustrious leader Joel for <a href="http://www.parade.com/celebrity/quiz/tv/24.html">Parade.com</a>. I thought I knew <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/"><em>24</em></a> pretty well, but Joel managed to throw in a few trick questions that led me astray. Or then again, maybe I just don't know <em>24</em> as well as I thought I did. Nah, I think it's the trick questions. <br /><br />Also featured on Parade.com is a nice little <a href="http://www.parade.com/celebrity/celebrity-parade/archive/kiefer-sutherland-24-finale-and-movie.html">Q&amp;A with Kiefer Sutherland</a>, in which he talks about the possibility of a <em>24</em> movie, Barack Obama becoming President, and why he cried buckets over <em>Bambi</em>. <br /><br />But first, take <a href="http://www.parade.com/celebrity/quiz/tv/24.html">the quiz</a> and report back on how you did. I'm not even going to admit my pathetic score. It's Joel's trick questions - yeah, that's it.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/07/how-well-do-you-know-24-take-our-quiz-on-parade-com/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1509963/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/07/how-well-do-you-know-24-take-our-quiz-on-parade-com/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>24</category><category>featured</category><category>jack bauer</category><category>JackBauer</category><category>joel keller</category><category>JoelKeller</category><category>kiefer sutherland</category><category>KieferSutherland</category><category>parade.com</category><category>quiz</category><dc:creator>Jane Boursaw</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:10:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>24: 12:00AM - 1:00AM</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/07/24-12-00am-1-00am/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/07/24-12-00am-1-00am/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/07/24-12-00am-1-00am/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/24/" rel="tag">24</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img alt="Dr. Macer (Christina Chang, L) treats Jack (Kiefer Sutherland, R) to mask his escalating symptoms." hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/04/24-717_sc1724_020tvs425.jpg" align="middle" vspace="4" border="o" /><br />(<em>S07E17</em>) <em>"I'm not giving up on you." - President Taylor</em></p>
<p>Not a bad pep talk to get from your President after being indicted, considered a federal fugitive, and becoming infected with a bio-engineered virus all in the same day. However, if I know Jack (and speaking of "knowing" Jack, <a href="http://www.parade.com/celebrity/quiz/tv/24.html">check out this <em>24</em> quiz</a> that TV Squad's own Joel Keller put together for <em>Parade</em>), then those words probably meant the world to him. That was until Dr. Macer gave Jack a pouch full of pre-loaded syringes. She looked at his file! She knew he had a daughter. I guess she glossed over the part about that raging heroin addiction he picked up in Mexico while undercover in the Salazar organization.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/07/24-12-00am-1-00am/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1509408/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/04/07/24-12-00am-1-00am/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>12:00AM 1:00AM</category><category>24</category><category>Aaron Pierce</category><category>Annie Wersching</category><category>Bob Gunton</category><category>Carlos Bernard</category><category>Cherry Jones</category><category>Chloe OBrian</category><category>Christina Chang</category><category>Day 7</category><category>Dr. Sunny Macer</category><category>Ethan Kanin</category><category>FBI</category><category>FOX</category><category>Glenn Morshower</category><category>hour 17</category><category>Howard Gordon</category><category>Jack Bauer</category><category>Janeane Garofalo</category><category>Janis Gold</category><category>Jeffrey Nordling</category><category>Joel Surnow</category><category>Jon Cassar</category><category>Jon Voight</category><category>Jonas Hodges</category><category>Kiefer Sutherland</category><category>Larry Moss</category><category>Mary Lynn Rajskub</category><category>Olivia Taylor</category><category>President Allison Taylor</category><category>real time</category><category>Renee Walker</category><category>S07E17</category><category>Season 7</category><category>Sprague Grayden</category><category>Tony Almeida</category><category>Washington DC</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:21:00 EST</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
