If the other 3 networks had a chance to get "24"---they'd jump on it.

It's the 8th ranked show on TV ---

This diss of Fox most notably by MSNBC for airing the show is quite humorous. NBC would run this show in a nano-second if they had it.

1. Of course they would. There is a lot of money to be had in promoting torture

and establishing a US dictatorship and killing every single muslim in sight. Exxon and BigPharma are fighting each other over every single advertising minute available on that show.

2. sigh,

Did you watch the last season? When the weak, cowardly, Republican president tried to start a war to secure oil rights by allowing terrorism inside the US? And he was arrested and carted off to jail kicking and screaming?

It is a television show. It is fiction. NBC has a show where congresmen can fly and cheerleaders can regenerate. That's not true either.

3. Truth is stranger than fiction

"Many a truth is told in jest, just not so much so than one can get sued for it."

4. We cannot sit still for five minutes of any season

Every two seconds it is terrorist this and terrorist that.

Terrorist meaning "lets go and kill every single muslim we see".

No, I don't watch, we don't need any more propaganda masking as entertainment. When show producers pass their scripts through GOP think tanks, the show officially qualifies as propaganda.

5. Then change the channel

BTW, the terrorists in the past have included a pretty blonde girl, a serbian dictator, the president, a scary PNAC- type group, and a British guy...

It's a show about an alternate universe- where LA has no traffic!!

6. NBC *tried* to get it after the 4th season

Fox didn't allow them to do it though. So you're right, it is pretty funny.

7. Big deal, of all the sucky TV, it sucks the least

Reminds me of an old joke: Pabst Blue Ribbon, horse piss, and a beer tasting contest.

Its running 8th to all the American Idle spots, right?
