Some good news from FOX...

You know that scene in “Major League” where Jake tells Rick and Willie how to react on cut day? He tells them that whatever happens, they should keep it in because they don’t want to celebrate in front of a guy “who just died and went down to the minors.”

I kind of feel like that’s what I’m doing here with all of the cancellations floating around, but I can’t help it. So my apologies to all of you who are fans of a show that has been cancelled…

FOX announced yesterday that it has ordered two more seasons of “24.”

I had already braced myself that next year would be the end, so this is an interesting—and welcome—development. Since this will no doubt be the final two seasons of the show, I applaud FOX for allowing it to go out gracefully AND not in the same year as “Lost,” because you know that’s all anyone will be talking about that year…

Yes, I’ve been a little hard on it this year, but it’s important to remember that even at its worst, “24” is still one of the best shows on TV…
