A '24' return

You haven't heard the last of former President Charles Logan on "24."

Fox says actor Gregory Itzin will reprise his role as the disgraced chief executive next year on the eighth season of the TV action drama.

Itzin will be acting in several episodes alongside current President Allison Taylor, played by Cherry Jones, when the show returns Jan. 17.

Says "24" executive producer Howard Gordon: "The opportunity for these two remarkable actors to share the stage was simply too compelling to pass up."

Logan was last seen during Season 6 en route to a hospital after being stabbed by his wife, played by Jean Smart.

'Southland'

reprieve

Cable network TNT says it has rescued the shot-down NBC cop drama "Southland" and will bring it back in the new year.

Beginning Jan. 12, TNT will broadcast all six episodes that were shot by NBC for its aborted second season, as well as the seven episodes from the first season.

Produced by John Wells of "ER" fame, "Southland" won good reviews but not-so-good ratings when it premiered last spring on NBC. It was renewed for this fall, but NBC canceled it before its October return.

Set in Los Angeles, the gritty drama stars Ben McKenzie, Regina King and Tom Everett Scott, among others.
