Darn, I was hoping the show was doing so to stop it from spiraling down the crapper.

Sissy. Jack Bauer would have kept right on working.

I saw on AP news that FOX's scheduling of the show won't be affected.

But if worse comes to worse, and it is affected, there is an easy solution. Just run a House repeat, followed by a new House. The following week FOX can double pump '24', and the schedule is back on track.

I was gonna say this. 24 is one of my all time favorite shows but I'm not liking it this season. I'm actually two weeks behind which is borderline unheard of. not since the depths of Season Six have I waited a week or two to watch an episode. It's usually same-night viewing so for me to not care for weeks at a time is a big deal.

Hopefully it picks up soon. On another note, it really is crazy how much work goes into cranking out a season of this show. Most people can miss few days of work, no problem. Keifer tries it and it shuts down an entire production.

They didn't shut down production. They just set up a perimeter, through which Kiefer easily escaped.

The real Jack Bauer would have grabbed a letter opener, a 5th of Jack Daniels and did the surgery himself.
