For modern day teens, Jack Bauer is Superman. In the span of a 24-hour day, Jack Bauer saves the world from terrorists, drug lords, corrupt government officials, and everything else in between. The hit Fox Show has had nine successful seasons with one mini-series airing this year. Every viewer of 24 can say with all their heart that they are in love with Jack Bauer.
Through out the nine seasons Jack works for CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit). CTU is a US government agency that can do what ever it takes to save lives. Seasoned veterans of 24 can name every president that Jack has served under. The show was very ahead of its time having a women President and a black President (before President Barack Obama was inaugurated). The 24 characters have changed a lot through out the years. Chloe O’Brian started off as the head computer wizard at CTU. Jack ends up going rogue (in the eyes of CTU) even though the audience knows he did what he needed to do in order to save lives. At the end of season nine, Jack and Chloe have both left CTU (Jack was deemed an outlaw of CTU and Chloe was caught assisting him).
Once season nine had ended in 2010 Jack killed a few government officials in Russia and was being pursued by the US government and Chloe was working for an undercover computer agency that wanted to give the people justice. 24 fans were left on the edge of their seats thinking the series would never come back. The iconic 24 theme song would never be heard again. But Jack will never die in the hearts of 24 fans across the world. In February Fox announced that 24 was being brought back for a special 12 episode mini series.
