LOL~! I got so excited I misspelled his name~! :-) (and I love the Kiefer~!) :-) This looks like a great show~! kath Premiered: October 30, 2001, on FOX Starring: Kiefer Sutherland, Leslie Hope, Elisha Cuthbert, Sarah Clarke, Mia Kirshner, Dennis Haysbert Premise: In 24 hours — each hour a separate episode — counterterrorist agent Jack Bauer (Sutherland) must stop an assassination attempt on a popular African-American presidential candidate (Haysbert). He and his chief of staff (Clarke) must also find a "mole" in the agency who's in on the plot. What's more, Jack's teenage daughter (Cuthbert) has broken curfew to go partying, and his wife (Hope) has gone to find her, putting them both in harm's way. And the clock keeps ticking. They say: "Every scene is going to feel like we're in a pressure cooker," promises executive producer Joel Surnow of this "real-time" thriller. "In most TV shows, you hope to get the fourth act on a clock so you're racing against time. Our entire season has a clock." Executive producer Robert Cochran adds, "We're going to put this guy [Sutherland] on the hot seat of hot seats. Save the country, save your family. He's not going to get much sleep." We say: Time flies when you're having fun. One of the most exciting and confidently executed opening nights ever, 24 takes a great concept and delivers a tense, twist-filled, sensational adventure. You'll be checking your watch in amazement that the hour is already over — and then setting your timer for the next nerve-racking installment.
