A Year Without “24”?

RT, my second favorite Canadian, sent me this yummy picture of Kiefer Sutherland posing for a publicity still in Washington D.C…

I don’t know what came faster—the drool or the tears.

Because the sad truth is that all of this may be for nothing, as we may actually have to endure a year without “24”…

Due to the strike, “24” will only complete eight episodes—WAY short of the 24 needed to complete the season. And unlike other shows, the entire premise of “24” hinges on all 24 episodes being made.

That leaves FOX with two options if the strike goes long. They can show the eight episodes and then go on hiatus—a proven show killer—or they can shelve the show until next season.

And all indications are pointing to the latter…

Which brings up another sad point. Remember that Kiefer took jail time to preserve production of the show; but, of course, now there will be no production.

That’s gotta hurt…

Personally, I’d like to see Kiefer use this time to work on his problem. Then, at least one good thing could come out of this nightmare…

I mean, seriously. What am I supposed to do with my Monday nights if there is no “24”? I might actually have to spend more time with my fiancé…
