Kiefer Sutherland would return to 24
Herald Mail Media ^ | April 22, 2019 | Celebretainment

Kiefer Sutherland "would love" '24' to return.

The 52-year-old actor portrayed Counter Terrorism Agent Jack Bauer in nine seasons of the real time drama from 2001 to 2014 and though he knows it would have been "ridiculous" to carry on much longer at the time, he'd jump at the chance to reprise the role if it became feasible.

He said: "I would have played the character until the day I died if it wasn't just going to feel ridiculous - how many bad days could one guy have?

"I would love to see the show continue.

"If there was ever a format that made sense where I could be part of it, I would absolutely do that.

"That was a whole decade of my life and I loved making that show."

24 Involved terrorist, however the real plot was about the Deep State as we just experienced for the last few years. So yes bring it back, let it show again how the deep state operates.

That’s what I meant by “sympathy” - look how the MSM is treating islam after those horrific bombings.

24, CIA propaganda from the post 9/11 era to make sure we all think they’re working so hard behind the scenes. Trying to reinforce that old saw ... If we only knew what they did...

They’ll bring it back. If you recall, the final season ended with Jack being handed over to the Russians. This day would begin with Jack being on the Trump staff with The Donald feeding Jack information back to Putin. Jack has to get rid of Trump, and sets it up to be the Designated Survivor, and turns the presidency into a a politically correct DNC wet dream, and gets cancelled again.

Designated Survivor was the most blatant leftist hooey ever to hit the screen.

“Bring Chloe back, and I’d watch it for sure.”

Definitely. And I was thoroughly irritated the last time when she was beat up during the beginning of the 24 hours and she was bruised up the whole time. Pathetic.

Jack Bauer is the only thing that could save 24.

The last real season of the show (not that "legacy" garbage) was actually very good and we had a lot of fun watching it on the live thread.

And 52 isn't old these days for an action star. Keanu Reeves is 54 and still churning out John Wick movies. Hugh Jackman played an old Wolverine. An older Jack Bauer could be just as interesting.

But Chloe has to be in it too. That's a given :)

Oh, if they would ONLY come back! It would be so much fun to do the live threads again and enjoy some REAL action for a change.

That legacy mess was just that...a mess.

Yea, I loved her. I never watched 24 until I think the fourth season then I was hooked immediately. I then went out and bought the complete first three seasons and binge watched them throughout that winter.
