The season may be on hold and Jack Bauer may be headed to Africa. But that doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate Jack Bauer Appreciation Day on time!
Spread the word. Today is JBAD!

CTU-Los Angeles has discovered the latest threat to our country that needs to be dealt with over a period of exactly 24 hours. Terrorist masterminds have been planning their next diabolical plot using LOLCats to send messages to their sleeper cells.
The target…Detroit. CTU-Los Angeles then springs into action, sort of. President Camacho faces the latest threat in the way we expect president on 24.
Back in LA, the new head of CTU decides that it’s time to bowl as we learn Jack Bauer has another brother. Will Dave get the Cheese Poppers or not? Dammit there are just too many tasty choices and not enough time.
Two key pieces of the puzzle were uncovered. First, there will be no Asian presidents on 24 anytime soon, the hot Terminator has a mean streak, and the new CTU Director took an hour to order at Chillie’s. That’s three, whatever.
A token 24 love triangle emerged with the Vice President and the President’s wife.
CTU-Milwaukee reached out to the only place left to turn, CTU - LA. Who then responded with a little CTU humor…terrorism mad libs. While CTU-MKE tried to decipher the code, CTU-LA bowled.
Detroit got the business end of a nuke, however the Tigers were on the road. Meanwhile, Dave Bauer used the bathroom and CTU-Milwaukee checked out LOL Cats and discovered the next target…Washington DC. While the countdown to DC’s nuking began, CTU LA gave Dave Bauer an offer he could refuse.
Meanwhile, back in DC, the president tries to save the day by getting the hell outta town.

Oh my, a moronic president negotiating with terrorists? As Jimmy Carter displayed last month, this can only end poorly.
Seems like the idea of sending Jack to Africa ain’t totally dead yet.
Michael Ausiello over at TVGuide.com today reported that “producers are currently scouting locations in Africa to film scenes for this fall’s two-hour prequel movie.”
The earlier rumors were that Jack would be working on some sort of Habitat for Humanity-type project in Africa as a sort of way for him to forgive himself for all he’d done in his country’s service. Fox had ruled the storyline too expensive, and it might have also forced the show to break its trademark “real-time” format. I mean, as Jack was coming back to the U.S., how many times could you pan to him yelling “Dammit!” on an airplane?
Then the writer’s strike shut down production after eight episodes of the new and improved Season 7, the premiere got pushed back a year, blah, blah, blah. You know all that.
Then we got word of a two-hour movie for the fall that would bridge the two seasons and give fans a dose of Jack Bauer to tide them over.
And now, it appears, 24 will go to Africa after all.
Good? Bad? Somewhere in between? Just happy we’re getting two more hours of 24?

As the future of DC looks really bright (and hot), the prospects for America grow dim. How’d you like those metaphors?
The poll on Fox’s 24 page asks users which character they would like to see return with Jack Bauer for Season 7 of 24. I chose Chloe and was amazed that she came in either third or second, depending on how you look at the results.
According to the poll, Karen Harris’ 25% gets a larger portion of the bar chart than Chloe’s 38% and is even with Bill’s 50%.
Also, for all of you who slept through Basic Statistics (or who work at Fox), the total of this chart should equal 100%, not 122%. Unless Jack Bauer voted, his votes count twice.
Tags: fox, Jack BauerCheck it out, the promo shot of the Season 7 cast and Jack Bauer. I guess Zombie Tony is in the background, climbing out of his grave at Arlington National Cemetery. Brains. Wait, is that Tony to the …ehh left no right of Jack?
Let me go on record as saying this is the worst Photoshopped picture to hit the intertubes since the kid on top of the World Trade Center with the airplane behind him.
UPDATE, from AmyV: I see I was beaten to the punch on this, but I can still provide some detail. Here’s the rest of the cast from the photo, from left to right:
• Rhys Coiro, as FBI agent Sean Hillinger
• Janeane Garofalo, as FBI agent Janis Gold.
• Jeffrey Nordling, as FBI agent Larry Moss
• Annie Wersching, as FBI agent Renee Walker
• Carlos Bernard, as Tony Almeida, newly returned from the dead and really pissed off about it.
• James Morrison, as Bill Buchanan (with a beard!)
• Mary Lynn Rajskub, as Chloe O’Brian, hair darker than ever
• Colm Feore, as first gent Henry Taylor
• Cherry Jones, as President Allison Taylor
• Bob Gunton, as SecDef Ethan Kanin

The President gets the news that DC is the next to get nuked.
The TV squad recently published the Top 10 Awkward Moments on TV and 24 managed to make the list.
8. Jack Bauer shoots his best friend. In the “awkward tragedy” department, Jack Bauer is forced to shoot his former partner and best friend, Curtis, during season six of 24. Okay, so it’s his only option when Curtis threatens to thwart Jack’s efforts to stop a nuclear threat involving several suitcase bombs. Still, why would you have to shoot him in the neck, Jack? Couldn’t you have popped Curtis in the leg or shoulder — just enough to make him drop his hostage so you could get on with saving the world? (TV Squad)
While that was a wee bit awkward and deserves a top 10 in the list of most awkward TV moments, I happen to think it was not the most awkward event to happen on 24. Hell, it wasn’t the most awkward moment on that season of 24.
How about when Jack set to torturing his own brother, leading to his death by Pappy Bauer? Then having his former sister-in-law (who has a child that looks and acts an awfully lot like Jack) put the moves on him. She leaned in for a kiss….and gets denied. Especially since Jack ends up with his ex, Audrey Raines, who went to China to search for Jack and came back with a brain full of play-do and spends her days talking like Paula Abdul and blowing spit bubbles….awkward.

LOL Cats has spoken, DC may be the next target. Can Dave Bauer and CTU-LA save our nation’s capital? Will the ninja monkeys return?
Due to an attack on the Blogs4Bauer HQ by a one-eyed rabid ninja monkey named Sue, Episode 14 was delayed and will be aired next Monday (4/14).

“We had a long dinner and he asked me to play his dad in 24,” he explained.“I said OK but on one condition, the relationship has to be the same sort of relationship Sean Connery had with Harrison Ford (in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade).
“He said, ‘I’ll go back and see what the writers have in mind’. He came back and said, ‘No dad, they want you to try and kill me’. I said, ‘No way, that’s not going to work’. So they hired James Cromwell instead.”
He did offer to come in at the series’ end, though, and reveal that he’s Jack’s REAL father, that Phillip was merely Jack’s mother’s husband. Donald said he didn’t think the writing crew would take him up on that offer, but did he watch last season?
The good news he had for 24 fans was that Kiefer’s stint in jail made him determined to make the next two seasons “the best two years of television in the United States.”
Kiefer was in solitary 23 hours a day:
Jail was tough for him. He had 48 days inside, 23 hours a day in solitary. It was very, very cold. There were no windows. He had no community. I also made a deposit at the prison so he could call out. We were given 14 minutes for every call. When he would call, you weren’t prepared and when I got to speak to him I didn’t get to say everything I wanted to.
Look, I’m gonna say this: The way Kiefer took his punishment like a man (like Jack Bauer would have, actually; accepting responsibility for his actions and accepting the punishment. wait. does Jack ever accept punishment? hmm), just makes me have that much more respect for him. So if he’s gonna say the next two seasons of 24 are going to be the best U.S. television has to offer, I’m going to believe him until he gives me reason not to, dammit.

Are the terrorists done nuking cities? There are 11 episodes left, you can do the math (unless you’re from Alabama).
Detroit is toast…find out what happens next…tonight. What else are you going to do, watch a show about a cop who has been around since 1600?

If he managed to avoid getting jelly donut all over the intertubes you really shouldn’t see much difference. Of course that’s a big if. Please let me know if you notice anything wonky, other than the usual writing around here. Can’t do anything about that. Sorry. You can email me at jim -at- 4bauer -dot- com or leave a comment on this post.
One thing that you can see is the new built-in gravatar support. If you have a free Gravatar account your image will show up next to your comments. At least it will when I shut off the local version in a week or so.
Enjoy.
