24 likely ending this season

While it isn't official yet, there are serious rumors saying that due to production costs, 24 may be ending its run at the end in May at the end of the current season.

If this is true, I think I can accept that decision.

Yes, 24 and I have had some good times in the past, and after the horrific sixth season, I almost called it quits, but I gave it another chance and last season, it didn't disappoint.

But I would be the first one to admit that with so many scenarios being played out on the series, well, there are very few viable threats left to explore, as most of them have already either been foiled or come to pass. For instance, how strong is the bogeyman of a nuclear explosion if one has blown up on U.S. soil more than once.

So yes, I think this might be the right time to wind the show down.

I can laugh about it now, but whenever my sister would call and I would mention 24 was about to start, she'd always quip, "Is that still on?" Well, I guess very shortly it won't be. (And Keith Olbermann is going to have to find a new entertainment whipping boy)

I also realize that with Ugly Betty going off the air this season as well, I am going to be officially out of shows I have to watch weekly for the first time... well, ever, so I get to start next season off with a completely clean slate.

Hopefully Jack Bauer will find the peace he deserves by the end of this day. He looked like he was closest he's ever been in long time recently.
