Writer Strike? No Problemo for 24
Drink up fellow 24 fans, the looming writers guild strike that will soon end production of such shows as Heroes, CSI: Newark, House, and The Office will have no effect on Season 7 of Fox’s 24!
By New Year’s Day, primetime TV could be dominated by game shows, news magazines, sports and reality – which do not require scripts.
The networks are now scrambling to come up with contingency shows to replace scripted series such as “CSI” and “House” which have only about six weeks worth of new shows completed.
The current contract between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expires on Oct. 31. A strike could occur as soon as the next day. (NY Post)
So, Wyatt….you may need to find a new show to replace the sick fascination you have with the indestructible cheerleader on Heroes. May I suggest the new and improved hotties on 24 like Carly Pope and/or Ever Carradine?
How can I be sure the strike won’t delay Season 7 you ask? I took an exclusive tour of Fox and snapped this photo (below) of the 24 writers still hard at work on the plots, subplots, love triangles, subplots to the plot’s subplots, and Jack Bauer’s manboobs that make 24 so awesome.
Got a better caption for the monkey writers? Post it in the comments.

Strike away. The Jack Sack and the rest of us could do a better job.
How about 24 does Season 7 as a “choose your own adventure” series? They come to the end of the episode and have viewers choose from one of three or four options for the next plot progression. Sort of like 24-idol.
I’d rather watch the snowy blank screen of a non-existent Heroes than suffer through Janeane Garofalo. Unless it’s my turn to Live Blog, 24 gets TiVo’d.
Sorry, but 24 just about lost me after last season and the off-season acquisitions.
They could do a “Curb Your Enthusiasm” approach where they follow the outline of a plot and improv the rest.
In one episode, Chloe could get Tourettes and the rest of the CTU could shout obscenities to show their support.
I would like to CTU employees pull pranks on each other (ala Jim and Dwight from The Office).
-Chloe could splice satellite images with clips of p0rn.
-Jack could call in fake air strikes on Chloe’s mothers house.
-Tony takes out a screw on Bill’s chair and it collapses when he sits down.
Oh the hi jinx they could get into.
