“24″ Casulty of Writer’s Strike – Slice of SciFi
Due to the Writer’s strike, many shows are considering their options. Apparently “24″ decided to throw in the towel on this year.
The seventh season of the hit real-time series was scheduled to begin in January, but producers had completed only about one-third of its 24-episode order as of last week.
I actually think that’s a good move, given the way this show works. If you can’t do a full season on this one, you just gotta pull it.
I guess it really sucks for Keifer. He accepted an overall longer jail time than he would have received otherwise for his drunk driving conviction, with the condition that the time be split so he could do the show, and thus not cost the cast and crew their jobs for his stupidity. Now there is no show to save. Don’t get me wrong… he’s getting no pity from me. I actually kind of like the irony.
