Could Be He's Twiddling His Thumbs

Wifezilla reminded me that the creator of 24 might have a lot of time on his hands right now with the writer's strike bringing the series to a grinding halt. Still, his time would be best spent finding a way to reinvent Jack Bauer. And hashing out a somewhat plausible plot line. I'm not asking for ultra-realism here, just something that doesn't have me spitting out chunks of popcorn while screaming at the TV.
