Jack Bauer’s half-day is coming to an end Monday night for the season finale of Fox’s “24,” which actually only ran 12 hours. The final episode apparently jumps forward in time after the first 11 ran in real time.
Otherwise, there are plenty of new shows coming aboard.
On Wednesday, WE tries out its first scripted show “The Divide” about a case worker trying to save supposed innocent people on death row.
Thursday features VH1′s ‘Dating Naked,” which is self explanatory. Both USA and FX each cart out two new series back to back on Thursday. USA’s include “Satisfaction,” which was shot in Atlanta but is set in some generic city and features a married man who finds out his wife is using a male escort but rather than confront her, he makes some strange decisions based off that.
On Sunday, Lifetime’s latest new series “The Lottery” features a future where women can’t bear children and when a lab creates some embryos, the president decides to make a nationwide lottery for 100 lucky women to have them. This, I presume, will not go smoothly.
