Joel Surnow quits as Executive Producer of 24
I don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing. Surnow has written alot of good episodes, but most of the episodes he wrote last season sucked. Looks like Howard Gordon is the main man running the show now.
http://community.tvguide.com/blog-en...ator/800033077 From the Hollywood Reporter: 24 co-creator/executive producer Joel Surnow is leaving the Emmy-winning drama effective immediately. Surnow served as an executive producer on the first eight episodes of the strike-struck seventh season, but will not be creatively involved in the series going forward. Though Surnow's deal with 20th Century Fox TV wasn't up until April 30, this week he asked for and was granted an early release. "Joel created one of the landmark series of this decade in 24 and his contribution to its creative excellence over the years has been immeasurable," Fox says in a statement. "While he leaves the show in the incredibly capable hands of the talented Howard Gordon, his input will always be welcome." |
Does this mean 24 will get good again? Hope so.

This is pretty surprising, as I believe Surnow came up with the concept of the show.
|
Surnow co-created the show with Robert Coachran. Cochran is still working on the show. But, now pretty much all creative decisions on the show will be made by Howard Gordon.
|
Didnt he think it had enough life for 2 or 3 seasons and FOX kept milking it??
|
It's a show that has plenty of life in concept, but yeah... Season 6 was horrible.
And while the novelty of the format is still okay, it's Jack Bauer that really made the show. |
He quit so he could devote all his time to finding a single funny joke to use on The Half Hour News Hour.
|
We're running out of producers!
|
He was the mole.
|
I found S5 completely unwatchable, however, does his exit signal any better writing? I sure hope so!. Changing of the guard may be a good thing in this case.
|
Howard has been the showrunner since season 5, so for good or for worse nothing will really change.

I think Barack Obama can attribute his great success to 24 and President David Palmer who blazed a trail as our first African American President.
I hope he invites Jack Bauer err I mean Keifer, Howard,and Surnow and of course former President Palmer himself to the inauguration. |
Mogran Freeman was the President in Deep Impact and I'm sure there have been others. Palmer was hardly the first, but was definitely the best.
As for Surnow, :shrug: as long as they bounce back from season 6 I don't care who's behind the scenes. |

I believe the Wayne Palmer as President fiasco was a creation of Surnow. I think it's good that he left the show. Everytime I saw an interview with him, he was so full of himself.

I remember seeing an interview with him where he denied anything was wrong with Season 6 and kept talking about how great it was. It was possibly the funniest thing I'd ever seen.
