true...

maybe in the later season, but i watched seasons 1-3 marathon style and i loved it...after that, yes, it become redundant

[rconverse]

Agree about S1. In fact, I was like this is the ONLY way to watch this show.

I got into the middle of three and couldn't take it anymore.

If anyone has DirecTV, Audience channel plays this show in 4 hour blocks. It's pretty cool. My only complaint is, I swear to God, I always catch the same 5:00 - 9:00 block. SO annoying.

I was sick around New Years, so I spent that whole weekend watching 24 on DirecTV. It was awesome.

Idk, I tend to disagree at least with the first few seasons. I remember I'd watch 7-8 episodes at a time and loved it.

[hailtopitt]

they play it commercial free on direcTV too, which is sweet, just a few in between episodes but none during

Ya, but she was an awful character you wanted to bang.

Recommend only watching 24 when you have all episodes available - doesnt work as well when it is a week by week serial

I didn't think Season 4 was terrible, but I remember it being awfully redundant.

[neumdogg]

Season 4 was awesome only because I worked on that season.

[pathetic]

got to season 8 and couldnt get through it

[jackisback24]

when did Cuthbert's hotness on the show go from to ?

[F-A89]

I've seen 1, 3, 5-8. Never made it to Season 4 and never finished Season 2 (it's Kim's fault)

[AlexK79]

Season 4 was amazing. The season that got me hooked on the show.

[hoke2007]

I approve of this!

[kittensXLI]

Arguably the best ndmbc rename.

[Quadrophenia92]

Totes down with this. This show was a huge bonding moment for me and my dad. Send the series out with an awesome and concise bang.

update from EW:

http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/05/10/24-return-episodes/

UPDATED: With Kiefer Sutherland and Fox plotting the return of Jack Bauer, we’re hearing some additional details about the plan.
You already figured this out, but now we can say with certainty: Touch isn’t coming back for a third season. The mystical drama was shifted to Friday nights this season where it struggled in the ratings. Even without a 24 revival, it was considered pretty much dead in the water.
For 24 miniseries/limited series, we’re hearing Fox is actually currently looking at a 13 12-episode order for the show. For a cable series, that’s pretty much a full season (heck, for HBO’s Game of Thrones, it’s more than a full season). So that would be a pretty significant potential order to bring back Bauer.
Fox had no comment. Hopefully there will be clarity at the network’s upfront presentation Monday.

[neumdogg]

Definitely happening

[TheLastStop123]

Yes nDMBc is my favorite when it's the 24um

[bausty]

Not sure how to feel about this, I loved this show but Im also in the camp of people who found it redundant near the end... Maybe the off time will help

So pumped. The more Bauer the better.

What exactly does a limited run series mean?

maybe only 8-12 episodes instead of the usual 24?

[dobyblue]

Yes, it sounds like a 12-episode run has been confirmed.

http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/05/13/of...urns-may-2014/

The network will air 12 episodes of 24: Live Another Day as part of its new directive to air event programming in the summer as a way to tie together the regular seasons.

The 24 producers “always had the idea of maybe someday doing feature films, but as got into it they all agreed 24 being compressed in two hours is not 24,” Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters today. “A light bulb went off with (former Executive Producer) Howard Gordon. The spine of the 24 episodes is about 12 hours. Those were big events that occurred and little connective tissue in between.”

Unlike what happened in the regular series — where each episode represented an hour in Bauer’s action-packed life — the new version will jump around during the day, Reilly explained.

Though Reilly says he doesn’t envision 24 becoming a regular series, he won’t rule out its “franchise-ability.”

Yep, just saw it on FB

[berman1125]

I loved this show and do not support this come back.

[Quadrophenia92]

They need to make amends to the fact that Aaron Pierce wasn't in the final season.
