Three Men Watch More Than 86 Hours of '24'
By Monica Garske - AOL News
(Dec. 9) -- If Jack Bauer from television's "24" thinks his day is never going to end, a few of the show's biggest fans are right there with him. Only their thrilling mission lasted more than 86 hours. Three seriously devoted "24" fans -- Kevin Coon, Victor Lopez and Farris Hodo -- have just been immortalized in fandom history by breaking the Guinness World Record for "Longest Continuous TV Viewing" at the "24" Marathon Challenge, an event recently held in Hollywood to see who could watch the popular TV series the longest. Here's how it all went down: On Dec. 2, to celebrate the release of ...
Might Absurd Premise of 'Outlaw' Have Doomed It?
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Oct. 12) -- NBC announced Monday that it is canceling its new drama "Outlaw" and will move the remaining four episodes from Friday to Saturday night. Besides low ratings, what gives? Starring Jimmy Smits, best known for "L.A. Law" though he had a nice turn on "Dexter" not long ago, the drama lagged in the ratings. Might that have something to do with the absurd premise behind the legal drama? AOL TV Squad, for one, agrees. Smits played attorney Cyrus Garza, a Supreme Court justice. So far, so good. But Garza (quickly) comes to recant his conservative judicial beliefs and decides the best ...
'The Event' Cast Completely Confused by Own Show
By Monica Garske - AOL News(Sept. 10) -- During the runs of "Lost" and "24," loyal fans were left confused -- and wanting more -- episode after episode. But in television's latest mystery series, "The Event," it's the actors who are in the dark. All summer long, TV audiences have been bombarded with cryptic commercials on NBC asking one seemingly simple question: "What is 'The Event'?" Well, on Sept. 20, we'll supposedly start finding out the answer as "The Event," a time-jumping conspiracy thriller, finally hits the tube. It will air Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT/8 p.m. CDT. Joseph Viles, NBC Members of the cast of NBC's ...
'Hillary!' TV Show: Clinton Defense Secretary Rumors Thicken Plot
By Jamie Stiehm - Politics DailyNetwork TV shows met their fates in May. To the dismay of television fans, several long-running series rolled credits on their last original episodes. "Lost" got lost on ABC. NBC lowered the gavel on "Law & Order." Fox decided "24" had run out of time. On a personal note, even my sister Meredith Stiehm's "Cold Case" got left in the cold after seven seasons on CBS. Set here in Washington, however, we have a drama series playing that's not likely to be canceled anytime soon. Though made for television, this political show airs in real time, with assorted character arcs, high production values ...
Jack Bauer Is Not Gone. The '24' Hero Lives in Me -- and You
By David Gibson - Politics DailyJack Bauer departed the scene Monday night after nine years and eight pulse-pounding seasons of "24," the addictive television series that is not "Lost." Whether Jack Bauer -- a.k.a. the actor Kiefer Sutherland -- exited stage right or stage left may depend on one's political point of view. Was the super-agent at CTU (that's the Counter Terrorism Unit, for you unlucky naïfs) a Karl Rove stand-in who promoted torture as the best answer to any question? Or was he a lefty with guns who unmasked the vast, right-wing conspiracy that really is behind everything that goes wrong? How was it that ...
'24' Gets D.C. Very, Very Wrong
By Tony Romm - Politics DailyHollywood is hardly a bastion of accuracy, and this season of 24 only confirms it. The annual drama, filmed this year in good ole' Washington, D.C., is the television equivalent of a terrorist attack on good writing and taste. For the most part, this season's now infamous fabrications and exaggerations are harmless, ironic and humorous, especially to those of us who permanently reside in D.C. But for a show that has previously prided itself on its attention to detail, it would be an insult not to at least count them down (in 24-clock-esque form). Here are the best ones: ...
John Boehner Insults Congressional Hispanic Caucus in Terrorism Video
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Congressional Hispanic Caucus is not amused with Republican House leader John Boehner's new web ad, which features footage of terrorists, pictures of the President with the Saudi King, and directly juxtaposes the President's chummy-looking greeting of Hugo Chavez with a photograph of the President with the Hispanic Caucus.Boehner's office issued a gutless denial, unwilling to stand behind what he did: ...
Janeane Garofalo Disses Rush Limbaugh and Lynne Cheney on 24 Set
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyActress and activist Janeane Garofalo caused quite a stir earlier this week on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. While discussing the Tea Party Movement, she went so far overboard, she ended up in a sham marriage to Kurt Russell. Maybe she's trying to burnish her lefty cred after taking a job on GOP porn show 24, because now, she tells The Village Voice that she witheld even a cold shoulder to a couple of right-wing icons who visited the set:Now, having said that, when Rush Limbaugh visited the set, and when Lynne Cheney visited the set, I refused to have my picture taken with them or meet them ...

By David Knowles - Politics DailyVia the NY Times:President Obama is expected to sign executive orders Thursday directing the Central Intelligence Agency to shut what remains of its network of secret prisons and ordering the closing of Guantanamo detention camp within a year, government officials said.The news gets worse for Jack Bauer, the fictional intelligence agent played by Kiefer Sutherland on the FOX drama "24":And the orders would bring to an end a Central Intelligence Agency program that keeps terrorism suspects in secret custody for months or years, a practice that has brought fierce criticism from foreign ...
