Jack Bauer and '24' is coming back, but it should probably be like '12'

Jack Bauer is coming back to television! Of course, Jack never really left. Jack just became Martin in the television series 'Touch'. To be honest, I didn't watch his new show consistently. Why? Because I never knew when it was on. Fox never gave it a chance by promoting the show during the week. Another reason is because they never kept the show at a consistent time slot.

It was all over the place and I believe relegated to the Friday time slot which basically is the kiss of death. The only worst place for a network television show is to be shown on a Saturday (sorry Smash, you really sucked and deserved to be canceled).

So back to Jack Bauer and '24'. It was a great series for 9 seasons, but it did have some low points. The best part of the setup of the show is that it was only going to be 24 episodes. Each episode was an hour in the crazy life of Jack Bauer where he seemed to scream at everyone and anyone (I'm talking to you Chloe)!

He also had a magic cellphone! This was even before the iPhone existed! He was able to get floor plans to the nuclear facility sent to his phone even though he was in the basement of the building. Hell, I can barely get a single and I'm on the 6th floor of the building I work in!

Call Jack during a moment where he is surrounded by terrorists or enemy guards? Worried that his phone ringer might be on and alert them? Don't worry, it can be on full blast and no one can hear the phone ring but Jack.

Am I excited that Jack is back? Not really. Why? Because 24's concept of 24 episodes representing each hour is now going to be an 'event' series which translates into 12 episodes. What's going to happen to that countdown clock? Who knows? Am I going to watch? Probably just to see if it captures my interest.

DAMMIT CHLOE!!!
