Jack's Back
The funniest line still is around 1 AM when Novick says, in reference to the nuke warhead going missing, something like "At least this is happening in the middle of the night while everyone is sleeping." This, after a day which included a train wreck, a nuclear meltdown, the shooting down of Air Force One, the incapacitation of the President and the swearing in of the V.P. Gee, do ya think anyone would really be sleeping?
I'm fine, thanks for asking :) How 'bout you?
Is "perimeter" the same thing as "Bob" from the old Bob Newhart Show?
Any chance for me to see Tony Almeda is a good day. :)
This is my favorite post in this entire thread:

This year I borrowed season #1 & #2 on DVD, 3 months ago I bought and watched season #3 and though I had other plans this weekend, I instead stayed camped out to watch all of season #4.
I think this is a good show and I have no idea how Jack comes back fromt he dead in season #5.
It seems that the end of the show has Jack going to Mexico to do the jobs Mexicans wont do!
24 GETS BIGGER
Hit TV show 24 is heading for the big screen.
The thriller series, which stars KIEFER SUTHERLAND as anti-terrorism agent JACK BAUER, is set for a new season but there are plans to take the show to cinemas.
Sutherland explains to movie website empire.com, "We have talked about it. Our biggest problem right now is getting the writers to find enough time to write a screenplay.
"There are certain inherent challenges in trying to make something in real time over a two-hour period that's going to allow enough to be engaging.
"I certainly believe that they're going to accomplish that, but I don't think that's going to happen (immediately). It might happen for next year's (06) hiatus. We're not sure yet, but they have been working on it."
This news is from ContactMusic.com - a site "not welcome" on FR. But I couldn't find the story anywhere else.

Groundbreaking, Critically Acclaimed and Award Winning Drama '24' to Debut in Off-Net Syndication
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- "24," the groundbreaking, award-winning and critically-acclaimed series starring Kiefer Sutherland, will premiere in off-network syndication on local television stations throughout the U.S. beginning on October 1, 2005 (please check your local listings). Weekly, "24" will provide viewers with the unique opportunity to watch the program from its first season on.
In the hour-long series, Sutherland stars as U.S. Counter Terrorism Unit Agent Jack Bauer in one of the most innovative, thrilling and acclaimed dramas on television. Each distinct episode of "24" features a dedicated storyline unveiling layers of intrigue over the course of one season that shapes a 24-hour period, when Bauer must go to great lengths to prevent a singular tragedy from occurring. In season one, he fights to uncover a plot to assassinate the first African American candidate for President of the United States (Dennis Haysbert). In "24's" second season, Bauer is forced to prevent terrorists from detonating a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles, while in season three he must stop a blackmail scheme involving relatives of an imprisoned Mexican drug lord threatening to unleash a biological weapon. Wrapping its fourth and most compelling season this spring, "24" involved a train crash, the kidnapping of the Secretary of Defense, a chain-reaction meltdown of the nation's nuclear power plants as well as detonating a nuclear bomb and the fatal crash of Air Force One.
The series was recently nominated in two of this year's Emmy Awards' most prestigious categories, including Outstanding Drama Series and Kiefer Sutherland for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the fourth year in a row. In its first four seasons, "24" has achieved a multitude of awards, including Emmys for writing and editing, and has been nominated for nearly 40 Emmy Awards. "24" also has received seven Golden Globe nominations, including three for Best Television Series - Drama, which it won in 2004; and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Drama for three years, with Sutherland winning once.
Other cast members to have starred in "24" include Elisha Cuthbert, Penny Johnson, Carlos Bernard, Reiko Aylesworth, Sarah Wynter, William Devane and Kim Raver. The program has also guest-starred Dennis Hopper, Zeljko Ivanek, Lou Diamond Phillips, Michelle Forbes, Sara Gilbert, Lukas Haas, Nestor Serrano and Shohreh Aghdashloo, among others.
Created and executive produced by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, and produced by 20th Century Fox Television, "24" first premiered on FOX in 2000 to rave reviews. The program has been cleared in syndication covering 97% of the country and is distributed by Twentieth Television.
A leader in the domestic program production and distribution arena, Twentieth Television oversees the domestic sales of one of the most extensive libraries of off-net programming in the entertainment industry. In addition to "24," this fall, the company will launch The Peabody Award-winning sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show" in off-net syndication. In 2004, it successfully sold and launched the sitcoms "Yes, Dear" and "Malcolm in the Middle," the highest rated off-net premiere for the 2004-05 season. Other programs being slated for future off-net launches include the multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy "Arrested Development," starring Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Portia de Rossi and Jessica Walter, among others; "Still Standing," with Jami Gertz and Mark Addy; David E. Kelly's critically-acclaimed drama "Boston Legal," featuring James Spader and William Shatner; reality hit "The Simple Life"; and the animated comedy "Family Guy."
First-run programs distributed by Twentieth Television include the news magazine "A Current Affair," the popular court show strip "Divorce Court" and new court show "Judge Alex."
