I have been there watching "24" since its first hour, and now, I will be there when Jack Bauer hits the road this year too. In appreciation for all that entertainment/patriotism/torture, here's one fan's loving playlist.

I have been there watching "24" since its first hour, and now, I will be there when Jack Bauer hits the road this year too. Thank you Kiefer Sutherland and company for all of your hard work saving both the world and so many of my Tuesday and then Monday nights. In appreciation for all that entertainment/patriotism/torture, here's one fan's loving playlist dedicated to "The House That Jack Built" as we all prepare to face "The End Of The World" -- at least on Fox Broadcasting. As I see it, especially in Fox terms, Jack Bauer was fair, if not particularly balanced.

Kiefer, we discussed your longstanding love of Queen long ago, and so the last song on this list is included in tribute to your willingness to keep Jack Bauer alive for all of us, at least at the movies.
