Yes, ladies and gentlemen, agent Jack Bauer will leave for another season. After all some beating, cutting, shooting, limb breaking, poisoning and some electric shocks can't kill a man hero like him.

The sixth season continues the action with a payback from the Chinese folks for the innocent invasion of the Los Angeles Chinese consulate (he finally has to pay for the things he did).

As for Kiefer Sutherland, we hope he'll get back in shape and continue to kick some ass (actually, we already know he will) after the latest drinking problems stated by the media.

The premiere for the 6th season is due for Sunday, January 14, 2007.
