Fox Plans to Drop ’24′ After End of Season
According to a report from Variety, Fox plans to drop the popular drama ‘24’ at the end of this season. Currently in the middle of its eight season, the action hit stars Kiefer Sutherland as federal agent Jack Bauer who is always facing a catastrophe that only he can prevent. There had been rumors for the last several months that Fox would not renew the show for a ninth season, but there yet to be any confirmed reports as to why they don’t intend on bringing it back. The show has maintained strong ratings for several years and there has even been considerable talk about a ‘24’ movie.
‘24’ has remained one of my favorite television shows to watch. Jack Bauer was the role of a lifetime for Sutherland who before being cast in the role back in 2001, hadn’t really been doing a whole lot on the big screen. With an original concept of each show taking place in one hour of real time, and an entire season consisting of one entire day, the show gained a faithful audience over the years. At last years Comic-Con the show’s producers showed no signs of slowing down. The last two seasons took Bauer out of Los Angeles and placed the action in Washington D.C, and this season is New York City.
The biggest challenge facing the creative talent behind the hit show is new concepts I would assume. Also the restraint of having everything take place in real time makes it difficult to keep the story consistent. I think the series has another one or two good seasons left in it. I am all for having a show go out while it is still good, but I just can’t fathom my Monday nights without Jack Bauer. What are your thoughts? End it on a high note or let it go for more?

great power packed nail biting show. i would hate to see it leave.
Even eight seasons in it still packs the same punch it did when it premiered. I hope they keep it around because it surely is the biggest hit of adrenaline on television these days.
Keep 24 going. It is one of the best shows on TV.
THE BEST SHOW ON T.V. I CAN'T WAIT FOR MON. NIGHT FOR IT TO COME ON. THINK IT IS A BIG MISTAKE FOR FOX TO CANCEL.
I truly feel that it would be a HUGE mistake for 24 to leave the air, but if the Conservative idiots over at FOX wants to let it go, then that gives another station the opportunity to get the ratings that FOX will regrettfully loose. I dont care what station its on, just as long as its on TV. There is NO OTHER show on television that can capture the suspense and is as intense as 24. I have been an actor for over 14yrs and out of any movie or show i could be in, 24 would definitely be my 1st choice.
