Does it get worse than this?

I know it looks like a satire page, but this is on ABC's Fall schedule starting...(drumb roll).....SEPTEMBER!

Our nation is a target. Al-Qaeda and other deadly enemies are determined to destroy our way of life. An attack could come at any time, from anywhere around the globe.

Against this rising threat, the Homeland Security Agency has created a highly specialized, elite task force trained and equipped to counter anyone or anything that threatens our nation. The head of this super-secret team is Special Agent John Kilmer. He reports only to the President and has authority to call upon the technical skills, firepower and the specialist agents of the FBI, CIA and NSA.

Working with cutting-edge technology‚ and vast stores of chutzpah‚ this clandestine team fights the many faces of terror to keep America safe. The one wrinkle in Kilmer's dream-team is his ex-wife, Frankie. She's as beautiful as she is fearless and lethal. Together they've averted disasters of all kinds, except their marriage.

With stories ripped from headlines, "Threat Matrix" is a drama with a ticking clock in an arena as deep and complex as today's world.

1. This makes me wish that al qaeda would target teh networks

but do it without loss of life, just as a symbnolic gesture that makes all studio execs rethink their lives and go into goat farming and stop pushing their ignorant shit on us

2. First "24" clone...

3. I'm seeing it more like...

JAG meets Alias with a bit of CSI.

And the really sad thing is that it might have actually been pitched that way.

4. I've seen the pilot

It's everything you fear. From a superior officer ordering a subordinate to violate a suspects constitutional rights AND the Geneva Convention, to dismissing anti-globalisation protestors as "naive fools" - it's one long GOP soundbite commercial.

I suppose it's possible that it's very over-the-top-ness might discomfit some viewers previously blindly accepting what the government tells them, enough to open their eyes...

I felt dirty after watching it, frankly.
