Jack is back (and so is that incessant ticking sound)

Jack Bauer is about to have a very bad day. Again.

The buzz: The fact that we're eight seasons in now means that to catch up with "24" in one sitting, you'd have to watch for an entire week (assuming you watch the commercials in real time as well, of course). Freddie Prinze, Jr. mary Lynn Rajskub

The verdict:

Did you know? Elisha Cuthbert reprises her role as Jack’s daughter Kim (again) this season. Wonder if she'll survive?

The two night, four hour "24" premiere begins Sunday, January 17, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
