Kiefer Sutherland says he'd like to do 24 until he's 60

Mid-season is getting to be an even more exciting time for TV premieres than the fall. We have Lost, Chuck, American Idol, Archer, and a whole bunch of other shows to look forward to. That includes 24. The new season launches with a two-hour episode on January 17 (with another two-hour episode airing the next night).

Kiefer Sutherland talks about the show in this new interview over at Parade.com. He says that not only will a New York City setting revitalize the show a bit, he confesses that no one believes they've ever done a perfect season of the show, and they want to keep doing it until they do. He also says that he'd love to keep doing the show until he's 60 years old, but "nobody would accept it."

Hmmmm, I don't know about that. It seemed to work OK for Edward Woodward on The Equalizer, right?

(Joel did a quiz for Parade.com about the show. Go and see how much you know.)
