It is an annual irony of a TV critic’s life that the networks program the most TV to watch in precisely the week that you have the least time to watch TV. This week, I’m busy with upfronts, which as always falls in the last week of the network season; thus, I’ll be TiVoing season finales and probably catching up on them well into June.
Last night saw the season-ender of 24, among others. (Yesterday at Fox’s upfront, Kevin Reilly casually dropped what may or may not have been a spoiler about the finale, while accused head-butter Kiefer Sutherland took the stage and made a self-deprecating joke about seeing us all at the bar at the after-party.) Did the last two hours make the previous 22 worth it?
