24 Fodder

Jack Cannot Save 24 Hours

Ahhh....the Writers Strike....while I completely agree with it, I also completely hate it. Mostly because 24 will not be airing Day 7.

Here's the news:

"Fox on Wednesday became the first broadcast network to announce a strike-affected midseason schedule minus its signature drama "24."

Faced with the possibility of a partial Season 7 of "24," Fox has opted not to air the real-time drama at all this season.

"It's not a decision we wanted to make, but it's one based on how we feel the viewers expect us to schedule the show," said Preston Beckman, Fox's scheduling chief.

The decision to act quickly so early in the strike also was prompted by the large amounts of marketing money associated with the premieres of new series and the annual launch of "24." The network began airing promos for the upcoming season of "24" during the World Series and on a big screen in Times Square.

Fox's high-profile new drama "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," originally slated to run in tandem with "24," will now premiere Sunday, Jan. 13, and will air in "24's" Monday 9 p.m. time slot, following "Prison Break" and new reality series "When Women Ruled the World."

Well ladies and gents, unless some kind of resolution happens soon, I'll be out of a blogging job. And not being able to make fun of, appreciate, and sarcastically comment on 24 will leave me heart broken. JACK, it's up to you to save the day....
