Kiefer Sutherland Talks Touch and the "Very Difficult Task" of a 24 Movie
Nobody panic: Jack Bauer is back! Well, Kiefer Sutherland is back...on TV. We'll have to wait a little bit longer for Bauer to save the world again, in the form of a 24 movie.
We talked with Sutherland at Fox's TCA Winners Walk, where he told us why Touch was the show to bring him back to the tube, and when fans can expect that big ol' 24 clock on the big screen…
Kiefer Sutherland: Don't Compare Touch to 24!
Surprise! Kiefer Sutherland was bombarded with 24 questions when the Touch panel took the stage today at Fox's TCA presentation. Questions like: "How is this character like Jack Bauer?" "Doesn't this show seem similar to 24?" "If I attack the stage like a crazed panther, will you be able to stop me, Bauer-style?"
That last question was us, but don't worry, we only asked it in our minds. Because after all, as Kiefer told us again and again (and again!), Touch should not be compared to 24. But at least he was nice enough to reveal plans for the 24 movie...
Movie Review: Abduction Is Good (and Bad) News for Team Jacob
Review in a Hurry: First, the good news for Team Jacob: Taylor Lautner proves he has the skills to become an action star, portraying a teen who finds out his life is a lie. A realization that leads to much gunplay, martial arts and a bit of parkour thrown in for good measure.
Now the bad news for Team Jacob:
Francesco Quinn, 24 Bad Guy and Son of Anthony Quinn, Dead at 48
Much like his late father, Hollywood legend Anthony Quinn, Francesco Quinn made a career out of playing a wide range of roles.
Sadly, the 48-year-old actor passed away on Friday after apparently suffering a heart attack on a street near his home in Malibu, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Nuclear-Themed 24 Season Won't Air in Japan
Japan doesn't need a TV show to show how scary a nuclear disaster can be.
TV Tokyo, a major station in the Japanese capital, has canceled its scheduled broadcast of the eighth and final season of 24 because of its depiction of radiation poisoning and other traumatic plot threads involving nuclear and biological weaopns.
Considering The Simpsons and its meltdown jokes were deemed too insensitive all the way in western Europe, this hardly comes as a surprise.
Podcast: Why Is Every Character Named Jack?
Why must every major film hero be named Jack? There's a new George Clooney movie out, and I won't see it because—guess what his name is!
—Cordie, via the inbox
Oh don't stop there. There was Jack Shephard in Lost. Jack the hero of the video game Bioshock. Jack Ryan from the Tom Clancy books and movies. Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Jack Bauer from 24. Jack Welles from the new movie Takers. And on and on and on.
It's not the only name out there, but it is the most hackneyed. Here's why:

Barbra Streisand Loves 24. But Twilight? Not So Much
Don't bother asking Barbra Streisand if she's Team Edward or Team Jacob. Babs isn't a big Twilight fan…
Did 24 Go Boom?
Name three shows that scored bigger series-finale audiences than 24. Name three shows that scored bigger series-finale audiences than Law & Order. And explain why you shouldn't. Rub it in, that is.

24 Series Finale: Jack Bauer Takes a Bite Out of Crime
A lot can happen in 24 hours.
Concluding a final season full of political intrigue, deadly double-crosses and one brazen helicopter theft, the 24 series finale closed out one last, busy day for Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer, Mary Lynn Rajskub's Chloe and the rest of the CTU crew.
What a day it was, too: International incidents, attempted assassinations and one chewed-off ear for good measure.
And the ultimate fate of über-agent Bauer? Well, we'll let you discuss that in the comments….
It Sucks to Be a Lost, 24 or Celebrity Apprentice Fan
True, summer is bringing us more Toddlers & Tiaras. Alas, it's also time to say goodbye to some of TV's most entertaining shows:
