24 Postpones Season Seven Due To Strike


By Kofi Outlaw

The WGA strike has claimed yet another victim. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Fox’s ‘24’ will be postponing the premiere of its seventh season, originally set to air on Jan. 13, 2008. ‘24’ will remain on hiatus until enough episodes can be prepared for the show to air its usual “non-stop” season. Just when that will be depends on the strike. Awesome.

Scrambling to fill the vacancy, Fox has decided to debut TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES in ‘24’s Jan. 13 slot. PRISON BREAK, which was originally set to break in Dec. before returning in April, will now bow out with Monday’s Nov. 12 episode, only to resume early on Jan. 14. Always the ace up the sleeve, AMERICAN IDOL (which needs no money-grubbing writers) will storm the airwaves on Jan. 15 and 16 for its two-night, all-consuming, premiere.

Loyal ‘24’ fans, now is the time to hit us with your best ‘Jack Bauer vs. the WGA’ jokes. Rant back with the yuk-yuk, and we’ll let you know which ones are worthy of the Jack Bauer List.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix — Five Down, Two to Go
  Have to disagree with you...remember this movie was over 2.5 hours long...I understand your a purist but it has to be watchable by the common fan...I thought it did a good job following the book without getting bogged down in the details...Personally, I think this was the best movie yet....strange considering it was my least favorite book...Its really not a kid's series anymore...much more adult oriented...This was a great movie....Props to everyone involved...

INDIANA JONES and the Lost Warehouse?
  Naw, we know they're tying the fourth movie into the first movie. Full circle. Marion's back. They have a kid. And I bet (you heard it here first) that Henry Jones III (Shia) will return as the franchise successor. The Ark is radio-transmitter to God! (Belloq said that)

  This guy is crazy. Silence of the Lambs is still the best. "All good things come to those who wait Clarice...."
