Meet the New Boss
I'm not a huge fan of TWoP but this is funny. "24's" exec producer is leaving. TWoP speculates what the show would be like with other fairly well known producers/creators ... including Rob Thomas:
For those into the Buffyverse, this one was even funnier:
(*Note* from me: They would never use Nathan Fillion. I love him. But on Fox? He's the kiss of death for a show)
And for all of us who have spent time with "Law & Order" (and its interminable cast changes and spinoffs):

Rob Thomas
Having learned his lesson about season-long mysteries from his experience on Veronica Mars, Thomas has Jack Bauer switch to thwarting a brand-new terrorist threat each hour. This ends up freeing a surprising amount of Jack's time to make smart-ass remarks and endure patronizing comments about what a tough line of work he's in for a tiny little blond.

Joss Whedon
Things go pear-shaped while Jack and Chloe are out in the field, and Chloe is forced to step up and take out an entire terrorist cell single-handedly after Jack sustains a sidelining injury. After both of them are unfairly drummed out of CTU, Jack takes it upon himself to cultivate Chloe's secret talent, while they slowly accrue an impromptu gang of fellow war-on-terror misfits and outcasts that includes a burned MI-6 agent (Alexis Denisof), a former terrorist (Gina Torres), a disgraced cable news pundit (Nathan Fillion), and Paul Wolfowitz (Armin Shimerman). Ultimately, Chloe's battles against the "monsters" of the modern world serve as an allegory for our everyday fights with real monsters like vampires and demons.

Except for Jack Bauer's promotion to Secretary of Homeland Security, 24 remains largely unchanged in terms of its format for another ten years or so. The big change is on Fox's schedule at large, which soon sees the premieres of 24: Enemy Combatants, 24: Homeland Security, and 24: Reign of Terror. The spinoffs retain the ticking clock onscreen, but have little else in common aside from all featuring appearances by Richard Belzer as Special Agent John Munch.
And, man, is Nathan not responsible for FOX's trigger finger! Everyone is a kiss of death on that network. I swear, the only one they let stick
around a bit and find an audience is Tyra Banks.
