24 — resetting the clock
-
- July
- 10
So, thanks to The Jack Sack, I found out that TV Guide blogger Michael Ausiello has reported (I was under the weather and off the computer yesterday) that the folks who brought us the totally crappy Season 6 of 24 have scrapped virtually their entire storyline for Season 7. And the day hasn’t even started yet.
They considered filming part of the season in Africa, but Fox said that was too expensive. After not being able to find suitable locations in LA that could sub for Africa, the powers that be scrapped it all and decided to start over.

More after the break.
Mary Lynn Rajskub said work on the new season usually began at the end of July, but now it’s been pushed back to mid-August, most likely.
