has run the gamut from being the best thing on tv during its initial run to being rebooted and raked over the coals with televised movies, shortened return seasons, and a new show,, that lacks the presence of Kiefer Sutherland 's Jack Bauer altogether.

Kicking off after the Superbowl,failed to capture its old audience and ratings have been dwindling since.
