It's So Fox
At the end of the day, it’s still going to be very difficult to say goodbye to Jack Bauer. (Losing Renee was hard enough.) At Fox’s upfront presentation–during which Keifer Sutherland made somewhat infamous remarks last year, just after his Met head-bashing incident, the network was clearly moving on from ’24.” This time, Hugh Laurie and Jane Lynch were the talent with speaking roles, with Laurie charming...
