Every episode better than the last one
Looks like I'll be on this Boston NPR station talking about 24 tomorrow around 11 a.m. You should be able to listen in online from the link. And, since you can never, ever, ever spend too much time debating the show, here's a recent bit from Rush Limbaugh on the silliness of treating the show too seriously.
I moderated a seminar last June for the Heritage Foundation with Howard Gordon, who is the lead writer and executive producer, and Joel Surnow, who is the executive producer-creator, and Mary Lynn Rajskub was there (Chloe) and Carlos Bernard (Tony Almeda), and a couple other people, and Bob Cochran, who was Surnow's co-creator, and of course they were kind of amused at the serious think tank-type questions that were being lobbed at them. They said, "Well, we do take terrorism very seriously, but it's a television show, and we write this thing so many months in advance that to try to predict future events and then tie our show to them is sort of impossible. We don't do that. We're just trying to make every episode better than the last one."Tim Carney, incidentally, wrote a piece on that seminar for NRO.
Update: Looks like the panel lineup has changed, and I won't be on. But it's possible that Carney might be on, so listen in anyway.
