I always loved 24, and I’m happy to hear it’ll be back, even in a limited format.

Here’s the news from Christian Toto at brietbart.com:

>>Jack Bauer is back!

I’ve learned that, after marathon negotiations, Kiefer Sutherland has closed a deal for a new installment of 24 on Fox. With him on board, I hear Fox has greenlighted the real-time drama as a limited series and will announce it during its upfront presentation today. The continuation is a brain child of longtime 24 showrunner Howard Gordon, now executive producer of Showtime’s Homeland. His 20th Century Fox TV-based Teakwood Lane will co-produce the new 24 alongside original series producers Imagine TV and 20th TV, with Imagine’s Brian Grazer returning as executive producer. This will mark Fox’s second event series under the network’s push into that arena, joining the just-greenlighted M. Night Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines starring Matt Dillon. View full article »

After eight seasons, the phenomenon that was 24 has concluded. This program demanded that we pay attention to what was happening on the screen, and that was something new and special compared to “background” television programs that you didn’t have to watch carefully.

Here’s one review, from Mary McNamara at the Los Angeles Times:

>>In the end, it all came down to Jack and Chloe, surely one of television’s most complicated, and unconsummated, romances. Yes, Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) is married and Jack ( Kiefer Sutherland) has had his string of disastrous love affairs, but it was Chloe who saved him from all his enemies, including, in the second-to-the-last hour of the series, himself. And it was Chloe to whom Jack directed his final farewell via drone satellite. “When you first came to CTU,” he said, bloodied but unbowed as ever. “I never thought it was going to be you that was going to cover my back all those years…. Thank you.”
