24 Cancelled

[Misawa]

Fox are expected to make the official announcement this week that 24 (my favourite show of all time) will be cancelled after the eighth season. It will be the longest running espionage-orientated TV show of all time once the season ends. Despite having very strong ratings throughout it's 8 years, it's taken a slight dive since the new season began, and apparently it's enough for Fox to cancel it - that and its high production costs. Personally I'm gutted as there has never been a show I have enjoyed more. Ever.

Regardless, a film will still be made and we can hope that NBC or another major network buy it off Fox.

This is so disappointing! I love 24 beyond reason. It's such a shame .

It's devastating. To thinks absolute drivel like Glee gets a second series, and 24 with DOUBLE the ratings gets canned...

I think its because they have changed jack so much over the last two seasons and that he is finally settling back down in some sort of way. I for one miss those scenes where he just goes mad at those who go against him which they seem to make him very calm in these days.

Gutted if it's true though.

Like I said - one of the strongest ratings draws in the US. There was no reason to cancel it - it was a machine.

Kiefer always said Season 8 was the last one and the contract ends. They said they couldn't ask the writers to do a film and a series at the same time. They plan to do the film based in NY, London etc.

I looked forward to every January for 24. Its the best show on TV. But unfortunately, after season 5, they ruined it. The writers made some terrible decisions.
