Hye guys..
Is anyone still here?
LoL..i know 24 is finished now but i hope we regularly can come back here if anything 24 related pops up..
Anyways Im new here..But have been a 24 addict since season 1..
I found this thread in the middle of waiting for the episode 16-24 of the last season 8 to come out..
I got the episode 1-12 but then suddenly while waiting for the last 2 cds to come out, I found this thread..
Did not dare to come back in and see it coz would spoil my ending..I started watching season 1 and 2 again..coz my memory already lost for that two season so ok to watch again..could remember the big plots like Jack wife die and all..but was interesting to watch again..
I even turned off the entertainment news on Tv after final episode aired in the US..
Heck i even asked my friends to check on every page of the newspapers especially the world and entertainment pages before i could read them..
Right until i got my final 8 episodes yesterday..
Just finished marathon from 2am-8am..
Relieved at the ending that

Hey..is there any way possible somebody other than FOX suddenly decide to make season 9?
I think if it was legally possible for others to continue the show, it could make big ratings in the future..
Or suddenly FOX realised they make a mistake to stop 24 and want to continue?
aaaa..wishful thinking..hope it can be done..
Now dunno what to do..will be watching season 3 after this and waiting for my CTU replica shirt and Jack Bauer action figure to arrive..
JACK BAUER..THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.. we will miss u

Legally it's possible if Fox decide to sell the rights to others, IF there is any other network wants to buy. However, the prime reason they cancel is because the ratings are not high enough to offset the cost. It's still an expensive show to make. Normal average cost per episode for any regular tv show is at least one million usd. That is why NBC tried to cut corners last year by putting Jay Leno on 10pm time slot so that they can stop making one hour drama, this move failed miserably by the way. I digress. I doubt other network would want to continue the show by buying the rights (it cost a FORTUNE). Besides, if it has enough rating, Fox wouldn't have cancel it to begin with. 24 was one of their signature shows. In tv history, only a very few shows were able to save by other networks, like Scrub, Buffy but ultimately they will ended after a couple of seasons. From a business standpoint, it's just more cost effective to make a new show than to continue an old show that is gradually decreasing in the ratings. Since all these shows are free on network tv in US (I don't know how it works overseas), the networks rely on ratings to get ad revenues. Without rating, no ad revenue to pay for any show.
