Oh, Great (CraigC)

Joel Surnow is leaving “24,” effective immediately.  I’m not as concerned about the effect of his leaving on the show’s political content as I am about the quality, although co-creator Robert Cochran will be staying on, so there will be at least some continuity.

Update:  Via Happyfeet in comments……never mind.

    They’re destroying all the continuity, really.

    “We’re re-creating the series,” executive producer/showrunner Howard Gordon said. “It is going to be a real-time thriller. Beyond that, it’s an open book.”

    The upcoming re-invention of the series was something the producers have talked about for a while, Gordon said.

    Aside from Sutherland, “24″ will return with a new cast (some old favorites might return in different roles) and a new, non-Los Angeles location, with the producers even contemplating telling the story from two locations.

    Speaking of ‘24′, Steve at Hog on Ice has found a dissatisfied reader in Manny Coto.

    Another show I won’t need to watch anymore. From what I read, it’s gonna turn into a morality play. Torture is bad, you know.
