CANCEL it already by jimmy_009	May 27th, 2009 11:13:52 PM
This show is so tired.
Cast Katee Sackhoff as an FBI agent by adam_worth	May 27th, 2009 11:14:59 PM

Boobs Walker is back!!! by Thrillho77	May 27th, 2009 11:18:41 PM
Of course, we knew that from the way the story is going. I just wanted to remark about her fantastic boobs.
Ah fuck... by Human_Bean_Juice_	May 27th, 2009 11:22:09 PM
I will count down the hours till his death.
FUCK FUCK FUCK. by BurkeCarterJ	May 27th, 2009 11:23:08 PM
Love me some 24. Hate me some Kim Bauer. If her and Prinze end up together, which of course they will, is Jack going to have to take a leg this time? Fuckin' amateurs.
For a second there, I thought it was Matthew Lillard by david26	May 27th, 2009 11:23:48 PM
Actually I would've preferred Matthew Lillard as opposed to Freddie Prinze.
Time for a whole new direction for this show by mikkoscassadine	May 27th, 2009 11:24:47 PM
forgot about white house politics and terrorists and bring on the biggest baddest evil of them all. RICHARD SIMMONS. After a tainted diet shake hits the market Jack goes undercover at a chain of weight lost centers backed by the cabal that killed david palmer which is headed by Simmmons. Pure Entertainment
CGI Scooby? by JoeSixPack	May 27th, 2009 11:25:21 PM
That would be cool.
Chesty Freckles girl FBI agent is back? by Xiphos_2	May 27th, 2009 11:29:19 PM
SWEEEEET! Freddy Prinze Jr, not so sweet. Prinze can't be as bad as nurse Paul Flowers was could he?
I assumed it would be Lillard as well by saintsaucey	May 27th, 2009 11:34:41 PM
Will see how well Prince does in this role. I will with hold judgement till I see him in action
This is fucking hilarious. by billypilgrimisunstuck	May 27th, 2009 11:47:27 PM
In better news, the Battlestar box set looks awesome.
Last I heard of him by Adelai Niska	May 27th, 2009 11:49:51 PM
he was a writer for WWE. Not anymore I guess?
old man cruthers by patch_adams_dickblood	May 27th, 2009 11:51:07 PM

At least he not Eric Balfour or Rob Lowe! by HollywoodHellraiser	May 27th, 2009 11:52:59 PM
SHOWKILLERS!
Yep, he left the WWE. by Shermdawg	May 27th, 2009 11:54:55 PM
Y'know the writing staff is fucking terrible when Freddie Prinze Jr. complains about it.
And Balfour is pretty good. by Shermdawg	May 27th, 2009 11:56:07 PM
I dug Hawaii. That show should've been about him and that hot Sumika chick that's on Numbers now.
Didn't Eric Balfour try to kill 24 twice already? by MaxCalifornia.	May 27th, 2009 11:57:57 PM
He was in S1 and then came back in S6. 24 survived. Anyway, Mr. Prinze? Well its unusual casting, but it'll be interesting to see what he'll do. Ricky Schroder was pretty good.
Also, any word if Desmond is getting axed? by Shermdawg	May 27th, 2009 11:59:37 PM
There's that legal matter, and they reset the timeline, if they do something stupid and fire him like they did the tailies, please, please, PLEASE let him make his way back to 24.
Balfour didn't try to kill anything. by Shermdawg	May 28th, 2009 12:02:17 AM
It was the writers who stupidly killed off Tony, only to bring back Milo as a Almeida carbon copy the next year. If anything, Balfour was fucked over in that move. Silver Spoons though, he tried his best to kill the show though. Horrible actor.
by Omar B	May 28th, 2009 12:17:43 AM
Prepare for the show to jump the shark, shit the bed, fuck the retard.
Like 24 hasn't jumped the shark before, Omar. by Shermdawg	May 28th, 2009 12:28:36 AM

It didn't say Sutherland was confirmed. by fanboy71	May 28th, 2009 12:32:05 AM
Surely they wouldn't bring it back without Jack.
Couldn't they have hired a better actor? by Booster Gold Lives	May 28th, 2009 01:11:35 AM
Like maybe a dead guy or a one-armed mannequin?
xander by Henry Fool	May 28th, 2009 01:16:14 AM
I would have been so happy if it had been Nicholas Brendon. We haven't really seen him do anything since... well, Buffy. But SMG's hubby?! I actually don't have anything against Freddie Prinze. He's a pretty good actor and I like the movie where he slept with Tori Spelling. But to pass him off as a Buffy cast member? Oh, yeah. Scooby Doo. Fuck you. Eat my poo. I'm a poet and sure don't show it.
If season 8 is the last season... by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 01:43:29 AM
Seems like its the last chance for them to get Donald Sutherland to play a role. It would be so great to see him on this show with Keifer. He should have been the one cast as Jack's dad in season 6 instead of James Cromwell (not that Cromwell did badly...), but I remember right before season 6 started, Larry King interviewed the cast and asked about them getting Donald on there, and Keifer said they wanted to but the timing was never right. Uh.... its not like Donald Sutherland is doing a bunch of movies right now. Is his health poor? I want to see him on 24 as a cool villain in the vein of what James Cromwell, Dennis Hopper, and Jon Voight did.
Xander aka Nicholas Brendon by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 01:45:49 AM
Yeah, the headline almost had me hoping HE was going to be on 24. He'd be a great computer geek working in CTU. Last thing I saw him in was an episode of Without a Trace, where ironically he was playing a computer geek working for that team. But man, he's really put on some weight since Buffy ended.
DAMMIT! by photoboy	May 28th, 2009 01:48:03 AM
I just hope the terrorists kill him quickly. Or Jack cuts his hands off...
Jamie Bamber is already on a new show by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 02:10:48 AM
Doing that Law and Order: London I think...
Wil Wheaton would be funny though by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 02:12:09 AM
Nice "Stand by Me" reunion there, especially if Keifer shoots him. Revenge at last! :)
Alexis Denisof is even better by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 02:15:15 AM
Looking at his IMDB profile, he's barely done anything since Angel. Three eps of "How I met Your Mother" (just because his wife is on the show), and an ep of Private Practice. Jeez... is he a lepur in Hollywood? Why can't he get more work? He was one of the best characters on Angel.
Summer Glau has Jack's hidden daughter by Gorgomel	May 28th, 2009 02:16:32 AM
She will kick some Cougar asses
Since this was Herc posting, by JumpinJehosaphat	May 28th, 2009 02:20:27 AM
I thought he meant one of the Buffy Scoobies.
Buffy Scoobies by _Qpid77_	May 28th, 2009 02:38:03 AM
Ok it's a little sad how many of us thought Herc was talkin' about Buffy with this headline. I also was hopin' it was Nicholas Brendan .. Ah well, some day maybe.
Did they rebury Garofalo? by Iron-kong	May 28th, 2009 02:42:29 AM
Sweet merciful shit will someone feed that skank? Every time I saw her I wanted to send money to starving African kids.
You got to be kindding by bauerpowerhour24	May 28th, 2009 02:45:34 AM
I just Crapped and rolled in it why not just let jack die and let the show end why why. this is a sad day for 24 fans Freckles Bauer Why Why
What happened to this show ! by Nimble	May 28th, 2009 03:23:47 AM
And why are all blacks on tv baddies or gay all of a sudden ? Really pisses the mrs off
KILL CHLOE! by chuffsterUK	May 28th, 2009 03:37:57 AM
Her mentally deranged eyes scare the fuck out of me every time she's on screen.
What happened to Chase? by TheMarineBiologist	May 28th, 2009 03:45:30 AM
Seriously, I have not taken 24 seriously since they introduced Chase as a major character and just did a For Your Eyes Only-style "Meh" and never referred to him again.
I was a Chase fan too, but... by Shermdawg	May 28th, 2009 03:48:55 AM
...the rumor was, he was a bit "difficult" to work with.
The guy that played him, that is. by Shermdawg	May 28th, 2009 03:49:36 AM

Shermdawg by TheMarineBiologist	May 28th, 2009 03:53:41 AM
Did he headbutt a designer? Has he gotten multiple DUI's? I'm sorry, but when Kiefer Sutherland is your leading man, you have probably grown a thick skin.
Only reason they cast Garafalo... by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 03:54:06 AM
...was because they wanted an extreme liberal version of Chloe who would constantly be complaining about the Bill of Rights when they use the CTU systems to track down terrorists or when they use torture methods against captives. Who better than Garafolo. She did the same schtick on Air America, constantly complaining about the right wing Republican kind of activities that 24 glorifies. Perfect casting, in my opinion.
Also Shermdawg, by TheMarineBiologist	May 28th, 2009 03:56:21 AM
I went back and read through the TB. The fact that you brought up Theo Stoller gives you instantly major major points.
Who's left from Robocop to put in next season? by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 03:58:55 AM
Ronny Cox definitely needs to be in this show, playing the same kind of evil bastard he played in Robocop and Total Recall.
Every season has at least one major death by ShabbyBlue	May 28th, 2009 04:08:08 AM
One of the popular main characters gets killed off every season for shock value. Bill was it for season 7. That means it'll either be Chloe or Aaron next season. Or I guess Tony too, but he doesn't really count now that he's "evil"... and he already died once, so the shock value is gone. So Chloe could be a goner next season.
Noooo...! by The McPoyle Clan	May 28th, 2009 05:30:35 AM
Not Son-of-Chico! It should have been Linda Cardellini instead. Or Denishof, who could play an MI6 counterpart or something. Cox would be good for either a good or bad guy role.
Freddie Prinze Jr. will replace Kiefer Sutherland in "24". by Fareal	May 28th, 2009 05:58:38 AM
I see it clearly now. Jack Bauer will teach Davis Cole how to solve impossible situations within a 24 hour time period. Because Bauer has converted to Islam and renounced torture, Cole will have to do the torturing now. I can't wait...
Rack Bauer & Prinze Sex Scene by estacado1	May 28th, 2009 06:32:03 AM
will make it a worthy season for Jack Bauer to die in.
This is a joke, right??? by BoyNamedSue	May 28th, 2009 06:37:58 AM
Prinze doesn't have the acting chops and is too pretty to be on this show!
I also completely forgot Schroeder was on the show. by CatVutt	May 28th, 2009 07:49:14 AM
Good Lord, Season 6 sucked. Has that ever been mentioned before?
I'm looking forward to seeing it by Eyegore	May 28th, 2009 08:03:54 AM
Just got done watching season 7 and the show is still going strong. I hope Garafalo comes back somehow.
PLEASE NO by Ballbag	May 28th, 2009 08:13:15 AM
Im a massive 24 fan, as big as they come, but this news really puts me off what may be the final season. Can you imagine Jack dying and being replaced by this talentless happy faced shit stain???!!1
blonde wig freddy? by alice 13	May 28th, 2009 08:42:45 AM
jack's new bff?
Please waterboard him. by HoboCode	May 28th, 2009 08:45:59 AM
That will make up for this misstep.

Looking Forward to His Inevitable Death by Crow3711	May 28th, 2009 09:03:33 AM
Let's face it, no one is casting FP Jr in 24 if they aren't going to put a bullet in his ass. I hope Jack Bauer bites him in the throat to death... wait, they did that? Okay, I hope he rips his eyeballs out with his bear hands and uses them on a retinal scanner.
hope he dies by TheExterminator	May 28th, 2009 09:14:21 AM
within 3 eps...
I was hoping it was Casey Kasem. by tonagan	May 28th, 2009 09:41:04 AM
He could terrorize people with his long distance dedications.
by Crow3711	May 28th, 2009 09:42:50 AM
did i really type bear hands instead of bare hands? (slinks away)

Hell, I'd take Matthew Lilliard over Prinze by skimn	May 28th, 2009 10:28:55 AM
but I guess Mr. Gellar needs to work too.
I thought it was going to be Linda Cardellini by Big Jim	May 28th, 2009 10:32:20 AM
instead? Donny Crane! Balfour is not a show killer unless he is a member of the main cast. Otherwise he is a bit of a good-luck charm: First few episodes of Buffy = 7 seasons First season of Six Feet Under = 5 seasons First season of 24 = going on 8 seasons Hawaii = 8 episodes Conviction = 13 episodes
Katee Sackhoff = Frak Bauer by Jordo	May 28th, 2009 11:14:44 AM
Perfect!
Shit, I'd like to see Matt Lillard... by Bill Brasky	May 28th, 2009 11:23:35 AM
...on 24 with his fucking bad-ass mo-hawk from SLC Punk, screaming into the camera and fucking up jocks while knocking down some out of state beers.
No one sucks the life out of scene like Freddie Prinze Jr. by Rob0729	May 28th, 2009 11:28:46 AM
Seriously, he is the antitheisis of charisma. His acting is wooden and lifeless. A great torture technique for next season's 24 would be to force a terrorist to watch Freddie Prinze's sitcom from a few years back, that is worse than waterboarding could ever be.
Season 3 box art... by Blancoshadow	May 28th, 2009 12:00:32 PM
Is that Corey Feldman???
Meanwhile, The Unusuals was fun last night by ThrowMeTheIdol	May 28th, 2009 12:22:22 PM
Tamblyn shined, this series deserved as much of a chance as Southland is getting.
Prinze Jr. who? Oh, you mean Mr. Sarah Michelle Gellar Prinze J by ME_M	May 28th, 2009 12:24:56 PM

"I'll leave the toturing to the young 'uns from now on' by Stuntcock Mike	May 28th, 2009 12:30:49 PM

Fareal I am confused by TheBloop	May 28th, 2009 12:49:32 PM
If someone converts to Islam, they are against torture? What do you call beheading someone with a long knife, acupuncture?
Now, given the history of people who "want to be like Jack" by moviemaniac-7	May 28th, 2009 12:55:00 PM
He won't last long until he's either scarred for life or ends up in the grave. Probably by Jack B.
There's only one acceptable act of terrorism by The_Man_Behind_The_Curtain	May 28th, 2009 01:28:18 PM
..and that's an act of terrorism against Freddie Prinze Junior. I hope he gets tortured near the start of the season. Or blown the fuck up. I hate that prick.
I was thinking Linda Cardellini too. by DarthCorleone	May 28th, 2009 01:54:10 PM
Better choice. Lillard might have been o.k.
If Prinze leads CTU, then the terrorists win. by slder78	May 28th, 2009 02:01:12 PM
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good comedic actor. I thought his sitcom was pretty good, but his drama work is really bad. I refer to "I know what you did last summer" and it's sequel, "I know it's supposed to be called I know what you did that summer before last but my grammer sucks so I'll callit I STILL know what you did last summer."
Chloe by jtp8000	May 28th, 2009 02:46:31 PM
Sorry . I am in love with her. They didn't mention she would be back next season did they?
I leaped off this ship like a burning spastic when.. by malificus	May 28th, 2009 03:27:59 PM
..they put Gerafalo on it. never tolerate her under any circumstance. They should bring Chase back with a removable super-spy gadget hand and kick ass.
ShabbyBlue by Naughty	May 28th, 2009 03:42:26 PM
Alyson Hannigan would never let her hubby Alexis Denisof do 24. Or any role. Marring Hannigan ruined Denisof's acting career. Poor henpecked bastard is stuck at home changing diapers.
"What do you call beheading someone with a long knife" by Big Jim	May 28th, 2009 04:07:49 PM
I'd call that "execution". Torture is mainly used to extract information; once the person is beheaded, it's difficult to get answers (unless you are Walter Bishop). On the other hand, threatening to behead someone is a form of torture.
Anyone else agree that Cherry Jones is WEAK?! by odysseus	May 28th, 2009 05:02:10 PM
She's reminds me of Mrs. Claus from the old Rankin-Bass Rudolph special.
Odysseus by malificus	May 28th, 2009 05:47:46 PM
My wife's been singing that tune from day one, I bailed but she rails about the Prez giving in to terrorists again, and again. But, what'ya expect she's a woman and is soft and giving in the middle while men are intolerant constantly trying to impale things on their dicks. It's a simplistic breakdown, but I'm pressed for time.
Prinze aint replacing anybody by Six Demon Bag	May 28th, 2009 06:14:16 PM
he'll die of a self inflicted gunshot wound.... too soon?
Jack's last words... by Jiggah	May 28th, 2009 06:32:49 PM
better be some cheesy 80s cop movie line like, "Damn, I need a vacation."
stupid move by phoenixmagida5th	May 28th, 2009 08:09:51 PM
They already have a jack bauer replacement. Rack bauer. Wasn't her arc in day 7 pretty much turning her into a female jack? So why can't she be leading the ops team. She goes from the law abiding f.b.I. to the do anything to get the job done style of c.t.u. makes sense to me
Damn. It's not Cardellini. by golfbuddy	May 28th, 2009 09:55:16 PM
Of the 4 she was by far the best actor and the easiest on the eyes. I think she would have been fun to watch.
Robocp actors we need to see on 24 by Nasty In The Pasty	May 28th, 2009 10:38:53 PM
Miguel Ferrer and Nancy Allen.

Is Jack Actually Going to Work for CTU again? by BigTuna	May 29th, 2009 08:01:40 AM
He should. He hasn't been employed with CTU since season 3. It's getting stupid having him somehow coincidentally involved.
Re:ShabbyBlue.. by BigTuna	May 29th, 2009 08:05:08 AM
At the time Season 6 filmed Donald was making that shitfest "Fool'sGold" and wasn't avaiable. Although he did later say he's not sure he would have taken it given Jack's dad tried to kill his own son.
the new prez was shit by Cedar_Room	May 29th, 2009 12:08:27 PM
I hated her throughout. She was the worst president in 7 seasons. Rene Walker was good, her tits especially. Glad to see her return. Hopefully Kim will be back as a boobalicious CTU analyst. Maybe she can use a plastic phallus and put a smile on Chloe's face?? That would be one way to get the ratings up.
They need to strip the show down by RipleysPubisMound	May 29th, 2009 02:52:10 PM
If I were in charge of things: one central threat that is not a massive global killer. One layer of villain(s). No CTU. Jack has to basically work alone with all the tech.
I really like the idea by smackfu	May 29th, 2009 03:18:11 PM
Of this guy hero worshipping and emulating Bauer and ultimately finding himself as the victim of one of Jack's 'hard choices'. Remember when Jack had to execute his boss in season 2? yeah, something like that would be suitable.
I was hoping for "Velma"... :( by TheGhostWhoLurks	May 30th, 2009 01:31:31 AM
As Chloe's chesty, bespectacled and bi-curious protogé who happens to catch the eye of a still-mourning Freckles Bauer.
I like it. Good casting. by Cotton McKnight	May 30th, 2009 08:05:16 AM
Why didn't Ricky Schroeder come back though? Oh well. The only Bauer sidekick they managed to carry over into another season was Curtis, and he was killed by Jack. Blah.
Ricky Schroeder went blind. by BigTuna	May 30th, 2009 12:01:11 PM
His character that is, in season 6. Hard to be a field op with no vision.
I played poker with Balfour about 5 years ago by Cisco Dyke	May 30th, 2009 04:09:37 PM
He constantly quoted "Rounders" and was an overall douche. And he sucks at poker. Fuck him.
Am i the only one... by dahveed1972	May 30th, 2009 08:30:45 PM
Who thought "one of the Scooby's" referred to a Buffy castmember?
