I've read that the last couple of seasons of "24" have been lackluster and "24" is being cancelled in the coming days. FlashForward is struggling storywise, and will need to step up their game bigtime when they return. Otherwise, I don't see another season in its future. Many think that Enterprise was at its best when Braga moved aside and let Manny Coto take the lead. Braga's other Trek series work had its good and bad moments. So, I would say I am in the very strongly undecided category in regards to whether or not he would be good at developing a new project for Fox. One of the messages on that link mentioned Fox's propensity towards canceling shows. If I were going to develop a new show, I would look into one of the Cable networks that give more leeway/backing to their programming. |

I've heard about the prospect of "24" getting canceled, but that if it should happen NBC might try to grab it. I don't think Braga is to blame for any of the problems that series is having. It's on Day 8 at this point and there are only so many times you can go to the well and use the same formula over and over which is what 24 does. There is also the talk that they want to transition the series to movies after this and NBC could screw that up if they grab it. It might be the best thing for the show to do creatively, move to the big screen. Put an adventure out every couple of years. That being said, it is a show both my wife and I have enjoyed a lot over the years. Last year did not inspire us too much, but this year it has been our preferred option and we record the CBS comedies opposite. |

^^ I was offput by the format of that show and Kiefer Sutherland being the star....who I've never been a huge fan of. I think Fox is taking a big chance on Braga. He can be a decent idea man, but he can easily go off course when he takes the helm. |

Oh I agree. When he has too much freedom he can really go off the rails. He does seem more suited to being a little further down the line with someone handling some editing and revision work above him.
I've never been a huge Sutherland fan either, but he does a good job on this particular show. The format ("real time") is one I like and when the story is working well it is very good. Day's 3 and 4 didn't impress me all that much. 5 & 6 I liked, 7 was underwhelming and 8 is shaping to play out very well. |

I'm sorry, but whenever I see Braga's name attached to a show, I kind of shudder. I try to give it a decent chance, but most times I ultimately end up dropping it before too long. |
