24 Pauses the Clock

For the second time this summer, Fox has pressed the pause button on 24. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the troubled series has been delayed yet again so that the writers can catch up on writing scripts for the new season. Needless to say, this complete lack of a coherent plan and the seemingly on-the-fly writing doesn’t bode well for the upcoming seventh season.

That said, always one to lend a hand, this TV Addict has a plan to save the day! For one season only, FOX should consider downsizing 24 to 12 (or at the very least 16.) Think about it. Twelve episodes will give the writers all the time in the world to formulate the best season of 24 yet. And fans won’t complain, as twelve amazing episodes are far better than twenty-four medicore ones. I think I speak for everybody when I say that no fan wants to suffer through another season like last season’s debacle. So get cutting!
