Here’s one prediction:\u00a0 There’s be more genuine suspense on the “Making of 24,\u00a0Day 7<\/em>“<\/a> DVD extra than there was in all of the actual Day 6. <\/em><\/p>\n

Execs at the Fox hit have scrapped virtually their entire story line for the season, delaying the start of production by roughly three weeks…Although a Twentieth Century Fox spokesperson declined to comment, 24<\/em>‘s expert scowler, Mary Lynn Rajskub, confirms that the clock for Day 7 has been reset. “I don’t know what’s going on over there, but they’re going crazy,” says the scene-stealer, who learned only last week that Chloe would be returning. “We usually start [back up] at the end of July, and I don’t think we’re starting until a couple of weeks into August now. It’s kind of exciting, because I think [the postponement] means that they’re really having to dig in there and come up with new stuff.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chloe was in <\/em>Day 6?\u00a0 (Ruffles through notes)\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 Sure ’nuff.<\/p>\n

The show’s creative team was no doubt already feeling the pressure: Day 6 was considered to be about as explosive as a wet firecracker, so for Season 7 they really<\/em> needed a plot that was incendiary. In fact, news of the setback comes on the same day the semiannual Television Week<\/em> critics’ poll<\/a> (in which yours truly participated) named 24<\/em> the second-worst show on TV, behind ABC’s best-not-traveled October Road<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To be fair to Joel Surnow, the poll apparently didn’t cover last night’s debut of Greek, <\/em>which my daughter made me watch.\u00a0 Honest.\u00a0 Dropping a “G” from the title would have at least been more accurate.\u00a0 I think 24 Day Six <\/em>might have been third from the bottom.\u00a0 But I digress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And then there was this:<\/p>\n
