(CNN) -- At first it may seem "24's" Jack Bauer didn't get the memo. In 2014, our heroes now wear capes and fight the bad guys at the box office, while the small screen has been taken over by a gang of antiheroes. From "Scandal" and "Mad Men" to "Breaking Bad" and "House of Cards," the recent slate of leading men aren't as interested in saving the world as they are in saving themselves. Yet on Monday night (May 5), counterterrorism agent Bauer will return in Fox's "24" event series, "24: Live Another Day." He's once again played by Kiefer Sutherland and is as determined as ever to do the right thing.

Jack Bauer returns to TV with event series "24: Live Another Day"
@highlight
The character doesn't quite fit the current antihero trend
@highlight
But the reason he became so popular is because of his "get it done" attitude
For @placeholder, the concern is less about ratings and the possibility that there could be more "24" on the horizon as it is about doing justice to the man he brought to life for nine years.
