Forum Community / Off-topic Board / 24 is returning to fox!

Dammit. Jack Bauer is coming back.
Everyone's favorite bad-ass TV show 24 looks like it may be getting a reboot for a ninth season if murmurings from the show's former home Fox are to be believed.
After Fox decided to cut short Kiefer Sutherland's not-so-impressive supernatural drama Touch, it appears Sutherland and Fox have done the sensible thing and agreed to revive Bauer and the espionage drama for one final outing.
Rumors of a 24 movie have swirled around constantly since the TV series originally ended in 2010, but it's never managed to get off the ground. Perhaps this new limited series will work from the movie scripts that never made it to the big screen.
Sutherland proved in Touch that he still had the charisma and star power to lead a show, dragging a tedious and underwhelming series and making it into something adequate and reasonably enjoyable through his sheer presence. And if Kiefer doesn't come back to Jack Bauer soon, it may be too late. Nobody wants to see the 24 hours where Jack is doing a crossword and searching for his reading glasses.
24 showrunner and Homeland exec Howard Gordon is believed to have pitched the idea for the new 24 series, so it looks like we're in safe hands and that the return of Bauer isn't purely for the sake of cash and/or because of a lack of new show ideas.
If anything, after an extended break and a time to recharge, series nine of 24 could potentially *whisper it* be one of the best yet. |

I'm going to go opening weekend.
I'm a huge comic book geek, and Iron Man is my absolute favorite hero. I really hope RDJ comes back for the Avengers sequels and maybe even an IM4.
Lately he has been talking about leaving Iron Man  . |

Presidential Elections - Analysis and Discussion / 2016 U.S. Presidential Election / Barbara Bush : "we've had enough Bushes!"

If mother truly knows best, there will be no more additions to the Bush presidential legacy. Bush family matriarch Barbara Bush said she's not in favor of a 2016 presidential run by her youngest son, Jeb Bush.
"There are other people out there that are very qualified and we've had enough Bushes," she told NBC's Matt Lauer. Jeb Bush has not said if he will seek the presidency.
"He'll get half of our friends and all of our enemies," she added, referring to the possibility of family baggage getting in the way of a successful 2016 presidential candidacy.
Her assertions are at odds with the beliefs of her eldest son, former President George W. Bush, who was vocal in urging his brother to run.
"He'd be a marvelous candidate if he chooses to do so. He doesn't need my counsel 'cause he knows what it is, which is 'run,' " the former president told ABC's Diane Sawyer earlier this week.
Barbara Bush admitted that her youngest son would be the best fit for the office of Commander in Chief, but maintained her opinion that he should not run.
"He's by the far the best qualified man, but no," she said. |
