David Kronke: "24" - 22 = "The Sentinel"

Haven't seen "The Sentinel" yet (and, in fact, probably won't), just the commercials (in heavy rotation, unsurprisingly, during "24"). As far as one can tell from the commercials, Kiefer Sutherland plays a Secret Service agent who has to protect the President against an assassination plot by a rogue former Secret Service agent (Michael Douglas) who mentored Sutherland. Eva Longoria figures in there somewhere, just to provide some pulchritude, probably (she doesn't do much in the commercials aside from look glamorous, but to be sure she's good at it).

Season One of "24" featured Sutherland's Jack Bauer protecting the President from an assassination attempt. This season, Jack's squaring off against his former mentor in their unhinged battle against terrorism, played by Peter Weller. Any resemblance between "The Sentinel" and "24" is purely coincidental, I'm sure, as was, I'm equally certain, Sutherland's casting.
