Tonight on the TiFaux: Martha Logan is the Jack Bauer of First Ladies

Posted by Maggie March 12th, 2007 at 02:01pm In Jack Bauer

This can't possibly count as a spoiler because it was on last week's "Next Week On…", but warnings anyway. Martha Logan, the fantastic Jean Smart, is back on 24 this week… and she's shacked up with former Secret Service hero Aaron Pierce! Many whoohoos! Today's also Ricky Schroeder's first week. I think there's something fundamentally unsympathetic about Ricky Schroeder, but maybe they'll put that "ick" quality to good use.

And that's it, everyone. All the rest of the regulars are in repeats. Go out and enjoy the extra hour of daylight. 

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: It's another FX show you might watch for a day and then forget it exists — The Riches. Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard star as gypsy con artists. Fine. I will say, though, that con artists are the new doctors when it comes to overused television careers. I understand that there's inherent drama in lying for a living, just like there is with saving people's lives on the operating table, but it's starting to be a crutch and even leaning towards a cliche.
