An interesting item in TV week about "24":The producer attributed the shows seeming decline to several obstacles, including a lack of "mapping out stories" and story arcs and killing off a significant number of characters.
"In the early seasons of '24,' they did try to map out stories and arc out stories a little bit more than they did in seasons four and five," Mr. Fury said. "And four and five turned out to be the two most successful seasons of the show. It just so happens that maybe this year it's caught up with us."..............................
Uh, wha'? Lack of mapping out stories? You're not sure where the season is going to go? Oh Lord. They REALLY ARE making it up as they go along.....
