Line 18:
* [[Development Gag]]: The wedding side story in season 2 was a nod to the original concept that 24 be a comedy about preparing for a wedding.
* [[Development Hell]]: A feature film adaptation of the series has been in the works for years.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] (Quite a few):
** [[Heroes (TV)|Sylar]] used to work for CTU, one of his bosses was [[The Sopranos|Father Intintola]].
** Jack chased after [[The Mummy Trilogy (Film)|Imhotep]] ([[Television Without Pity]] immediately [[Fan Nickname|dubbed him]] Im-Ho-''Terror''), a few seasons after ''that'', [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine (TV)|Doctor Bashir]] showed up as a reformed terrorist, and [[Harold and Kumar|Kumar]] showed up as an unreformed one.
** Jack's dad is [[Babe|Farmer Hoggett]]/[[Star Trek First Contact|Zephram Cochrane]].)
** Season 7 piles on the ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' by having [[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Worf's brother]], [[Star Trek Enterprise (TV)|Dr. Phlox]], [[Star Trek Enterprise (TV)|Trip Tucker]] and [[Star Trek VI|the President of the Federation]] show up within 12 hours. Not to mention former franchise heads Brannon Braga and Manny Coto on the production team.
** For Season 8, CTU has gone pilot crazy and employed [[Wing Commander (Film)|Christopher Blair]] and [[Battlestar Galactica|Kara Thrace]]. And then to keep them on their toes, [[Wing Commander (Film)|Commander Paul Gerald]] and [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Leoben Conoy]] are thrown into the mix as bad guys. Along with [[Alias (TV)|Mr Sark]].
** Wayne Palmer's girlfriend is [[Firefly (TV)|Zoe]].
** And for season 6(?) [[Lord of the Rings|Lord Denethor]] was working in the Russian government as an inside man for the terrorists, showing that he can be a bastard even without Sauron's corruption. Or maybe it was [[Fringe (TV)|Walternate]] all along.
Line 60:
** [[Entourage|Drama]] is a mountain man who saves Kim from [[Trapped By Mountain Lions|those damn mountain lions]].
** [[Con Air|Cindino]] is [[The Mole]] from season 3. {{spoiler|[[Reverse Mole|Or Is he?]]}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] The Japanese dub uses LOTS of voice actors from [[Naruto]] for some odd reason:
** Jack Bauer is [[Rikiya Koyama|Yamato]]
** Kimberley Bauer is [[Mie Sonozaki|Yugito Nii]]
Line 88:
** Rumor has it that they toyed with the idea of Donald Sutherland as Jack's father.
 
* [[Shout -Out]]: As mentioned before, we've got ''[[Star Trek]]'' alumni on the production staff now. In season 7, two suggestions to replace departing members of Taylor's administration were Rick Berman and Bob Justman, who were ''also'' longtime Trek staff.
** In an episode of Season 1, Milo gives his computer password as "foothill94022", a reference to [http://www.foothill.fhda.edu/index.php a community college] where Michael Loceff, the episode's writer, teaches online classes.
** Season 8 has an assassin named [[Doctor Who (TV)|Davros.]] Of course, he's not nearly as effective as his namesake- but then, he [[Too Dumb to Live|fucked with Jack Bauer.]]
** Jack breaking out a pair of pliers and a blowtorch to use on {{spoiler|Pavel}} seemed to be a reference to ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''.
** In a ''reverse'' shout-out, the Department of Homeland Security launched a surveillance technology development program aimed at protecting airliners from terrorist missiles. It's called "Project CHLOE", because the then-Director of DHS is a fan of ''24''.
