Depending on how you look at it, 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is either a miniseries about Kiefer Sutherland’s redoubtable ex-counter-terrorist agent Jack Bauer, or simply Season 9 of 24, resuming after a four-year break in a twelve-hour frame, airing on Fox Mondays at 9 PM. Howard Gordon, executive producer of 24 for much of its run, is back on 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY. Gordon also has three other series in production – the multi-award-winning HOMELAND, coming back for its fourth season in the fall, FX’s new TYRANT and TNT’s LEGEND. This raises the question of whether Gordon is secretly affiliated […]Read On »

Lots of Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) running around but running out of time (hence the countdown clock, it’s always about time on 24). Moles – There’s at […]Read On »

It’s a series that broke the television model with its innovative format (a real time story told in 24 episodes) and it went […]Read On »

If at this point you don’t understand the impact of Kiefer Sutherland returning as Jack Bauer in 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY, there may be no explaining it to you. This is the first time Sutherland has played Jack since the eight-season run of 24 ended in 2010. The new twelve-episode series, which begins its run on Fox in a two-hour block beginning ronight, finds Jack hiding out in London, where he soon finds that the fate of much of the world is in his hands. Sutherland is at a party thrown by Fox for the Television Critics Association at Pasadena’s […]Read On »

IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA debuted in 2005. Since then, the half-hour series about a group of eccentric associates written by, produced by and starring Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day – also starring Kaitlin Olson and Danny DeVito – has become a flagship comedy for FX – so much so that SUNNY’s ninth season is being used as part of launch week for FXX, the new network from parent company Fox. IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA‘s new season starts Wednesday, September 4. Howerton, who plays Dennis Reynolds, takes some time during and after a panel at the Television […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: The scoop on 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY from executive producer Howard Gordon

24 - SEASON 8 - THE COMPLETE FINAL SEASON DVD | ©2010 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

Producer/writer Howard Gordon is a very busy man, what with last year’s truckload of Emmys for the first season of Showtime’s HOMELAND, an even bigger slate of nominations for the second season of HOMELAND, the series TYRANT in development at FX and LEGENDS, an espionage series starring Sean Bean, at TNT. This last is likely why Gordon is at TNT’s twenty-fifth anniversary party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. We talked with Gordon about all his projects (see our upcoming separate interview), but while we’re at it, we got an update on next year’s anticipated mini-season of 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Mary Lynn Rajskub on the end of 24 and HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN

HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN has not been one of CBS’ sitcom success stories. The half-hour comedy, starring David Hornsby as ultra-polite Andrew and Kevin Dillon as Andrew’s former high school tormentor-turned quasi-life coach, ends its nine-episode run this Saturday night. However, Mary Lynn Rajskub, who plays Andrew’s ultra-assertive sister Janet, is unlikely to be slowed down by GENTLEMAN’s gentle exit. The actress can currently be seen on the big screen as an acerbic newspaper editor in SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED and stars in two Web series. One is DIRTY WORK, about a crime scene cleanup crew; the other is DICKI, […]Read On »

Stars: David Hornsby, Kevin Dillon, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Nancy Lenehan, Dave Foley, Rhys Darby, Abigail Spencer Writer: David Hornsby, series created by David Hornsby Director: Pamela Fryman Network: CBS, Thursdays @ 8:30 PM Original Telecast: September 29, 2011 Unless the word “gentleman” in recent years has come to mean “man who is hopelessly out of touch with contemporary behavior, to the point of seeming like he may be from another planet,” the title of HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN is off the mark. Furthermore, it’s not so much about the “gentleman” in question teaching his manners to anyone, but rather […]Read On »

Pauley Perrette just started her ninth season as crime lab tech extraordinaire Abby Sciuto on NCIS, and while at CBS’s North Hollywood studios after a press event regarding the TV industry’s use of Twitter,  she says she disliked the concept of online social networking until she found out how it could be used. “This women and children’s shelter in Sylmar that is very close to my heart was closing,” says Perrette. “We knew [it would take] one million six [to keep it open]. Literally, we take people off the downtown streets of L.A. and put them in this beautiful place. […]Read On »

DVD/Blu-ray Review: 24 – SEASON 8: THE COMPLETE FINAL SEASON

24 - SEASON 8 - THE COMPLETE FINAL SEASON DVD | ©2010 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

Day Eight proved to be the final day for 24 the TV series as the real-time series (chronicling a major U.S. crisis in a 24-hour period) waved goodbye in the same aggressive manner in which it began.

Kiefer Sutherland toplined the series as former Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) agent Jack Bauer. Over the course of eight seasons he lost so many of his loved ones, so much of his mind and soul and of course his privacy, he was a man without a country – a man without a home.
