Create a non-offensive version of Fox's 24 and/or other risky shows

24, the semi-popular Fox drama starring Kiefer Sutherland, is coming back for a second season. But the show itself seems to have been in its share of troubles. The first episode of the first season had to modify a shot of a plane explosion to not show the plane on-screen after You-Know-What occurred. And now, Fox has had to pull a pop-up ad which features crosshairs due to that Washington shooter guy. If this keeps up, the whole show will have to be retooled-and I’m sure others will as well. How ridiculous could they P.C./non-offensive them? Who knows, but let’s see what we come up with.

For 24 itself:
-Jack Bauer, instead of carrying a gun, will follow in the footsteps of heroes such as Quick Draw McGraw’s alter-ego El Kabong and arm himself with a guitar.
-Because of the goings-on with the sniper in Washington, show has been moved to Canada. It is explained that Palmer was president for a short while, but was kicked out of office when it was learned he was not American-born. Palmer then becomes Prime Minsister of Canada.
-Main plot of second season: Palmer has fallen into a hole in the ground, and Victor Drazen will not let him out. Jack must use his crack negotiating skills to save the Prime Minister.

Though this thread is dropping (alas, my humor skills are usually rather low) before it (undeservedly) falls off the main page I want to say: ROFL. :smiley:

sure, but then next week some kid is gonna fall down a well, and Fox will end up pulling the show…

In view of the kid in the well incident, Palmer is sitting in a comfy chair asleep and Drazen refuse to wake him up. Jack is outside the door on his cell phone with his daughter who just got her first A in college and is going home to watch TV and eat ice cream to celebrate. Unfortunately, the cell phone keeps losing connection so Jack is going back and forth negotiating with Drazen to wake Palmer up to go to his important meeting with a concerned citizen group and worrying that Kim is alright.
