Beautiful. “24” becomes more like pro wrestling with each new season.

I heard that Janine Garafalo (sp?) was joining the cast, I can’t stand her. I hope it’s not true.

"When Joel came out,"

I guess "coming out" as a conservative in Hollywood is like "coming out" gay in the regular world.

suddenly our show became this propaganda machine

It must be - there's one conservative on staff. When shows have all liberals on staff there is no propaganda, such as Left Wing.

Not sure I’m gonna be able to handle this season’s “global warming” slant. The show is looking like it’s gonna be too PC for me.

Politics aside for a moment...

The creators effed up when they (supposedly) killed off Tony. He was one of the better characters. All last season I couldn’t shake the feeling that 24 had jumped the shark. Why? Because aside from the first episode or two it pretty much stunk up the place.

They need a kick-butt season to recover from that one.

Don’t let anything happen to Chloe.

Jeanine Garafalo....
Hopefully, her character will be one of Jack’s first victims—within the first 2-3 minutes of the first episode.

OK, let me see if I got this straight. We have a woman President this season, the show hired Janine Garafalo as a character, Tony is coming back, and they are shooting the show at a Walmart in Maryland? Boy, this should be fun.
I have a plot line. Tony or Jack tazers Janine. Now, that would be fun!
“Don’t taze me bro” she screams.
I suspect more will be going on than Jack simply being on trial...so I guess we have to wait until January to see...

I saw Chloe on some show where she was really dressed up with make up and all and not in her character role...she’s even hotter as a real person.LOL!

I think the shooting at a Wal-Mart thing was a “tongue-in-cheek” reply, but other than that, you’ve got it pretty much right. sigh

Kinda like that Dallas season with Bobby Ewing’s death when “it was all a dream.”

It is true and I will no longer watch the show.

Stupid move.

It's not going to have a global warming slant. The studio is just trying to be "carbon-neutral" DURING production of the show.

They’re resurrecting Tony...

They’ve got the water skis, they’ve got the leather jacket, they’ve got the rubber shark.

If all that I've heard about my (possibly former) favorite show--global warming PSA's, woman Pres to ease us on into a Hillary thang, and now the leftist Ms. G being added to the cast is true; I'm VERY leery that 24 will be able to go down a left-leaning past and survive.

That said, if Chloe gets rid of Ms.G ...I could be interested in seeing THAT episode. If "Jack" comes on talking about GW, I'll turn the show off, for good.

So that's what "Jack's" GW PSAs are going to be saying?

Well, if he tries to preach to the rest of America, coupled with the other "changes" to the show, I'm afraid it's the end of the show for most Conservatives.

Am I the only one who is not a member of the Chloe fan club? Sure, she's attractive enough (if she smiles, which she never does in 24), but that character just sets my teeth on edge. I'm not asking for Jack Bauer to kneecap her, but maybe grab her shoulders, shake her and say "Quit your bitchin'! Valencia was just nuked and I don't have time for your crap!"
