Might Jack Bauer stick around to save the world for another day?
According to Michael Ausiello, 20th Century Fox has approached NBC about picking up 24 if rumors about Fox's cancellation of it come true.
“There’s definitely some interest,” said an insider close to the talks.
Due to dwindling ratings and high production costs, reports circulated this week that the studio and Fox are inching toward a decision to end the series after eight seasons. A 24 movie would follow, if that's the case, but this would be delayed if NBC picks up the show.
Reps for 20th and NBC declined to comment. Our take on the NBC rumor?
We've been on board from day one, but it's time to let 24 die. Storylines are recycled and the series has become a parody of itself at this point. It's really not worth reviving. In other words:
Makes perfect sense NBC would be interested.
First, the Heroes tribe lost a castaway (James) to injury on Survivor this week.
Then, the tribe lost its mind!
In an exit interview with Entertainment Weekly, eliminated contestant Tom Westman sounded off on what went down. Check out a few excerpts below...
On being sent home instead of James: I think if James had gotten his head cut off in that challenge they would have brought his head along in a bowling bag and had him vote against me. And that was frustrating actually having to defend myself that I was more of a physical value to the team than the guy who had been sent back into the game wearing a brace.
On Rupert: I needed him to make the move, which I think would have redeemed him in a lot of people’s eyes. You know, America loved that guy, and I think he let himself down big this time... I really believe that it [he] was selfish: get rid of anybody that might get more camera time than me situation, and that was Rupert’s motive in the beginning.
On the atmosphere: Socially, it was pretty abysmal out there. Thank God Colby was out there so that you had one good guy you could talk with about something besides their previous season. Some of these people, if they weren’t talking about what they did in Pearl Islands or what somebody said in Tocantins, there really wasn’t much to talk to these people about.
On Boston Rob: I’m loving watching him this season. It’s just been a great ride, and single-handedly he’s just thumping us out there with those puzzles.

Dean Norris has landed a role on Criminal Minds.
The actor, who has starred on Breaking Bad as the brother-in-law of Bryan Cranston's lead character, will portray a detective at the Tallahassee police station in the show's 20th episode this May. TV Guide first reported the news.
Norris guest-starred on Medium last week and will appear in an episode of Lie to Me later this season.
In other major Criminal Minds news: Forest Whitaker will appear in April and get the ball rolling on his upcoming spin-off of the drama.
It was a results show filled with tears and true emotion, as many viewers were stunned by the elimination of American Idol contestants Alex Lambert, Katelyn Epperly and Lilly Scott this week.
Based on an interview Epperly gave to Entertainment Weekly, the curly-haired blonde is handling the news better than many of her fans and fellow semifinalists. A few excerpts from it:
How is she feeling? Ten times better than I thought I would. I was a little skeptical my whole life about trying out for this show. I was always urged to do it, but I always thought it was a little too mainstream for the kind of music I like to write... I’m not upset, just motivated to go out and do more.
Was she surprised by her elimination? I was surprised, I guess based on what I’ve delivered so far. I don’t think I’ve done anything that America tends to think is spectacular. But this is where I fall short with this audience. People, a lot of the time, want to hear super, epic, crazy notes and that’s not my style at all.
Any regrets? My only regret is to not get so caught up in the logistics of everything. I got really caught up in cameras. I have a very good sense of who I am, not in a cocky way. I know who I am as a person and artist. I think that this show was kind of so out of element that if felt at times that I was molding myself to be something I wasn’t during interviews, performances.

Last night on The Ghost Whisperer, besides ghosts, Melinda had plenty to deal with!
For one, Delia wasn't too thrilled that only after a short time her son Ned was hurt again because of Melinda's ghosts encounters.
Melinda had to choose between helping the innocent or letting go to protect her friends and family and Melinda wouldn't be Melinda if she didn't help the innocent ghosts. That's just what she does. We were kind of torn here, and could see where Delia was coming from. She almost blew up because she is friends with Melinda last week and who knows why Bedford demanded Ned to be the one to bring the book of changes?
"Old Sins Cast Long Shadows" had us spooked out of our minds!
That old ghost lady Greta was super creepy. Why was she the gatekeeper for the Shadows? Why did she prey on all the innocent children? We learned that the Shadows want the ghost children, but why? Is it for their innocence? Why are they such a hot commodity?
Melinda did find out that the Shadows multiplied by preying on the weakness of the ghost's guilt. But what is the purpose of this?
It was interesting that the raven played such a huge role in being almost the mascot for the Shadows. But why? At the end, when Greta was long gone, the raven brought back another innocent ghost to the house. The raven must play a larger role then what we know of so far. We have an eerie feeling that this is not the last we see of this scary bird.
We were surprised that Delia came to the rescue at the ending. At first, we thought that all the lights where the Shinings, but it was nice to see that Delia knew that she and Ned were already too involved to just walk away and leave Melinda helpless.
Bedford was surprisingly absent this week. We were looking forward to seeing his ghost creeping around and spooking us, I guess we just have to wait until next week!
Until then, we leave you with a few of our favorite The Ghost Whisperer quotes after the jump!

Jim Beaver has recurred on Supernatural since 2006.
The actor (a very nice guy, as we found out ourselves in an August 2009 interview) has appeared sporadically on The CW series in the beloved role of Bobby Singer.
But might that run soon be coming to an end? How else should we interpret the following Tweet, which Beaver posted after reading the season five finale script?
Supernatural returns with new episodes on March 25. Enjoy every shot you see of Bobby for the rest of the season. Sadly, it's hard to know which might be his last.
Welcome to the Survivor Round Table!
As the episodes name suggests, TV Fanatic's own Knights of the Round Table have gathered to analyze the Heroes chances after James' injury along with other developments from last night's episode. Reader feedback on the following topics is encouraged...
Did JT make another mistake?
Kakdaddy: I'd hate to put all the blame on JT for this one because the entire Heroes tribe has been awful...so dysfunctional to the point where I have little confidence in them making the right choice. Amanda, Rupert and especially James hold a great deal of the blame for this. I do think JT chose poorly though as Tom and Colby seemed to be the only ones willing to make correct choices and judgements and James is off his rocker by this point. If his knee doesn't hold up they should all be branded idiots.
Lady Gaga: Yes. James is a liability and will not be able to contribute around camp or to winning challenges. The Heroes are preaching about keeping the team strong to win challenges but are terrible at executing. Rupert was absolutely right when he said “maybe you should vote me out, I can’t run” or something along those lines. I think the tribe missed out on getting rid of Candice, Rupert or James because none of them are helping in challenges. And how is Boston Rob so good at puzzles!
Welcome to TV Fanatic's Grey's Anatomy Round Table, in which our esteemed panelists discuss the hot topics and burning questions from Thursday's episode.
Topics for our "Push" Round Table include memorable quotes, Lexie and her feelings, Derek as the Chief, and the Seattle Grace BFFs we wish we had ...
1. What was your favorite Grey's Anatomy quote from the episode?
M.L. House: Mark to Teddy: "Your breasts are fantastic. I wouldn't change a thing." Mark always cracks me up.
Mrs. Northman: Callie: "Third sex is the sex date. And he's cooking for you, at his home. Where he keeps his bed." Too funny and true! When a man invites you over for dinner, that he prepared, you know it's on like Donkey Kong!
L.J. Gibbs: When Owen lectured Mark about Teddy, and he responded "This might come as a shock, but looks like I'm the respectable adult in this situation." He wanted to get mad about the accusation, but knew he really couldn't. He's awesome.
2. Is Mark Sloan really ready to settle down, and is Teddy the right woman for him?
L.J. Gibbs: I do think that against all odds, a combination of dating Little Grey and Sloane Sloan's pregnancy flipped a switch with the infamous playboy. Although I think he and Addison would be a great fit still. More Private Practice crossovers please!
Mrs. Northman: Yes, I do think Sloan is ready to settle down, but not with Teddy! He belongs with Lexie.
M.L. House: Yes and... who knows. Mark and Lexie broke up specifically because he wants to be a family man. There probably isn't any room left on his bed post for any notches. As for Teddy: Too early to tell. What do we really know about her?
