Was either a particularly strong effort, compared to classic eps of the past? No.
Are those POV shots of characters running past other characters in various strange situations getting old? Yes.
Can we afford to lose a primetime show that so bitingly mocks FOX News, the FOX network, and the sheer idiocy that is Jack Bauer (and Kiefer knows it) in front of an audience of around 10 million people?
NO.
Keep it on until people stop watching, or the voice actors die, whichever comes first.
This isn't a damn show, people.
It's an institution.
However, I'll all for killing Saturday Night Live, because that show sucks.
