Anti-24 show coming to FX

July 13th, 2007 | Category: Drama Shows

I’m not really certain whether that should go in the Drama or Comedy category.

FX has six drama pilots in contention for that fall, and one of them is The Patriot, which is being described as “the anti-24,” considering it shows all of the mundane things an agent has to go through every loner day and not the “there’s a nuclear bomb going off/I’m being tortured/gun battle” stuff that Jack Bauer goes through. There’s potential here for realistic drama

(it’s written by Steven Conrad, the man who wrote The Pursuit of Happyness) or funny satire. perhaps they can show him getting coffee in the wee hours, getting a parking ticket, having a problem with human resources, that sort of thing.

Because there are so many dramas that might compose the schedule, FX is going to add more episodes of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, so there’s decent comedy on the network too. It returns September 13.
