24:Live Another Day ratings
According to that article, 24 was originally cancelled due to decreasing ratings. It goes on to say, "The last regular season of 24 averaged a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.28 million total viewers." This season premiered with a 2.56 in the demo and 9 million total viewers... then quickly dropped off. Excluding #9x01/#9x02, it has averaged just under 6 million total viewers.
Now, it's a summer series where one assumes fewer people are watching TV, and also the TV ratings landscape has continued to change during the 4 year sabbatical.
But the combination of current ratings and the creative folks repeatedly telling us, "This is it," doesn't raise my hopes.
This is my wife's first season watching "24" and she finds it "fun". At least she has 8 seasons of DVD's to go back through. If this is truly it for new content, maybe I'll go back through the DVD's with her.

I would not be surprise with a spin off with Yvonne's character. The several year gap was great because we are not burned out anymore on the 24 cliches. If they were to renew it, they would have to shake things up a bit.
Personally I think Jack takes a bullet for Audrey

The thing is, it's SUCH an expensive show. No way they bother making one without Keifer. I do hope they revisit things in a couple of years as this season has been great and those two make a fantastic team. Would like to see them hook up eventually (i.e. NOT on the flight back to Washington D.C.).
I don't know what sort of ratings Fox was expecting to get for the show in July when nobody's home, let alone watching TV at 9PM Monday night. I also don't know what the recent change at Fox programming means for this show but it can't be good.
All I know is I'd much rather watch Jack Bauer save the world yet again than, I don't know, watch a bunch of mopey cancer-stricken kids goof around an oncology ward with a B-list Oscar winner.

I recall Kiefer Sutherland saying "this was it" to Letterman a few months ago. Hopefully it isn't so.

I am disappointed the promo scene wasn't shown in story. The one where Jack is walking through a rubble-strewn landscape with a gun in one hand and holding up Chloe with the other.

That was the very first thing they shot. Not at all related to the actual story, they just wanted a badass teaser trailer to run during the Super Bowl.

Minor rant: What a waste of Phillip Winchester. He probably took this role since Strike Back is on filming hiatus, but this was the best role they could offer him? After seeing what he's done on Strike Back?

I'm just glad they didn't kill off Bill Devane. His over the top line readings really fit this show. The second half the season wouldn't have been the same without him.
I guess Jack's buddy just disappeared somewhere into the night.
Shouldn't Chloe's raccoon eye makeup be a little smudged up by now?

I think they wanted a spin-off with Kate but I really don't see that happening.

I agree that it's not going to be easy green lighting another season. Kiefer will almost certainly expect a huge salary bump.
Yvonne Strahovski is a solid, attractive actress and is more than capable of carrying a series. But, I just don't see a network suit loving the idea of giving a starring vehicle to her, especially with the 24 brand. I hope I'm wrong, but the pending change in leadership at the FOX TV network doesn't give me high hopes.

Reports are he got $125,000 per episode for LIVE ANOTHER DAY, or $1.5 million for the entire season.
So, yeah, he took a big pay cut to make this happen. I remember when the movie was supposed to be made and they were only going to pay him $1 million to come back. So he got a little more for the TV return, but not much.

Cheng was on his way to the docks, and to freedom!, when Chloe went all bitchcakes and jumped. He said, "Leave her." And then we see him next up in a building across from a park sniping everyone around Audrey. Did I miss something? Was that park also near the docks? Do we know how HE knew that she would be there?

I'm guessing he has a mole in the Chinese Embassy so he found out the daughter was going out to meet with Audrey

Kiefer's salary demands are probably holding up an instant renewal. The ratings are good enough for another season but this is definitely an insanely expensive serie

I'm kind of hoping they kill off Chloe. Not that I don't like the character but it would be a big OMG moment for the series.
Of all the things going on this season, I find Jack stealing a guys wife in 12 hours to be the most impressive.
If they continue the series I think 12 episode seasons are the way to go. Personally though I'd rather have a definitive ending this time than leave it open to the possibility of other seasons.

I didn't like it b/c they FINALLY gave Audrey something productive to do, and it immediately blew up in her face. Audrey is like walking bad news.
