'24' series finale: Executive Producer Howard Gordon answers some burning questions!

24 will be missed, it was one of those shows that could go on for many more years. It is always fresh never stale and Keiffer is
Jack…forever!
Sorry to see 24 to go and thank all for giving us such a great
show…one that has always kept
me on the edge of my chair.
Wishing the best always to all
involved in this greatest of all
shows….I’m 70, I’ve seen a lot
of shows but nothing ever has beat
24.

Last year my roomate brought home season 2 of 24. I have never been into sitcoms or reality tv. He told me a little about the show and suggested I watch it. The next day I watched my first episode. 24 hours later I was on my way to the video store to get season 3. Over the course of the next 6 months I watched seasons 3-7 finally watching season 1 after season 7. One day when I’m a retired and I’m wondering what to do with my life I’m going to relive 24 all over again. I guess what I’m trying to say is Thank You to everyone who helped make 24 possible. I will always remember Jack Bauer

24, 24,aaaah 24, a real movie to be missed. Never imagined seeing it end, and what else shall i watch!!!! Great work Horward.

I sure wish whoever can make it would change their mind about ending 24. It our favorit show. A movie is really not enough. Please rethink ending the series.

Great episode, but it was a little unsatisfying for me in that it felt more like a “season finale” than a “series finale,” perhaps due to the movie. Other than Jack thanking Chloe at the end, it seemed to lack that summing up the series as a whole, an acknowledgment of the entire 8 seasons the show has been on the air. Plus the end kind of reminded me of the end of season 4. I only hope that Chloe, Taylor, Arlo, and Cole don’t get offed in the first 5 minutes of the movie.

Still, a great episode, and I will miss this show, as it’s been one of my all-time favorites since day one, hour one. It’s a shame that it’s finale didn’t get the media attention that “Lost” got. 24 was a better show.

Thanks for the great ending! I was sad there was no mention of Tony or others, but I also know that would have been too cheesy. It was great the way it was.

I’m a bit stupefied over all the glowing reviews of the finale in these comments. While Mary Lynn Rajskub gave a brilliant performance, she was pretty much the only thing I really enjoyed about the finale. Jack running away is just a redo of season 4′s finale. I just feel kind of bitter and fed up that this is how they ended the show. With President Taylor a disgraced failure, Jack an international fugitive and the resolution of the treaty crisis being not justice, but a guilty conscience after it’s already too late. It was a good last image and scene, but the finale, the season, was not satisfying overall. The characters that we’ve cared about have fallen far from grace. Nobody wins, everybody loses. Why are so many of you okay with that?

That was a very good finale. I love Mandy though, and I just hope maybe we can get her in the movie.
