24 problems and the script is one

Man, is this show cursed or what?

It seemed as if the popular series was getting back on track following a less-than-stellar season six, only for the WGA strike to delay the show for an entire year. Now, the show is going to halt production for an additional month to ensure that the final act is as good as possible.

That being said, I actually admire that decision. The powers that be must realize that the stakes are high for this season, as for the first time ever people have actually soured on 24. While I highly doubt that the show would be canceled should this upcoming season not be a resounding success, I can easily see it being the "turning point" should the series ever end under terms other than their own.
