Did anyone read the Wall Street Journal article about 24?  The article said that 24 was going to take a new direction because season 6 didn't get the ratings they expected.  The producers thought that the American public was turned off by the torture scenes.

The producers were wrong.  The show climaxed early in the season with the nuclear explosion.  The rest was formulaic based on past seasons.  It had nothing to do with torture scenes.

Now, we viewers are going to have to pay the price.  Instead of Jack doing something, he is going to spend a lot of time in front of congress.  Could they possibly make the show any more boring?

Even worse, we will be subjected to Janeane Garofalo as an agent.  Her self-righteousness is disgusting, and now we have to see her all the time.  Having her on the show makes it seem like the producers want to alienate the few viewers they have left.

To summarize: Jack talks to congress and Garofalo is an action hero.  This combination is the kiss of death for 24.  Too bad, because it has been one of the best shows on TV for many years.
