What a travesty  . I suppose it has run it's course though....so sad
After eight seasons, FOX is pulling the plug on its long-running action-drama 24, new reports claim. The thriller, which stars Kiefer Sutherland as gun-toting Agent Jack Bauer, is expected to end its run due escalating production costs and a dive in ratings at the end of the current season, Variety said this week.
According to the trade paper, an official statement from the network announcing the cancellation of 24 is expected sometime this week.
The eighth season of 24 will reportedly end with a two-hour season finale on Monday, May 24 @ 8 PM ET/PT.

outrageous! i believe this is a terrorist attack, somebody call bauer! damnit i love 24

I never understood why people like this serie. I watched season 1 and it was absolutely HORRIBLE in every aspect. The acting was super bad the story line didn't make any sense the action was boring. Terrible show. Never bothered to watch the other season so it might have gotten better.

I always found it a little odd how most television dramas simply have situation and lack a true storyline. But I see how it's convenient for the networks in that they can just drop the show at any point. Also writers and actors only need to work on a short term basis. It's a minor complaint though, the shows are usually good anyway, don't feel disappointed when they end though.
(I'm not talking about 24 in particular, I didn't really watch this series)

I never liked it, good riddance.

There was no other way to kill Bauer.

I didn't watch it, but surely by 8 seasons the plot would have run it's course anyway.

NBC needs to follow suit and cancel Heroes now.....

Loved season 1, thought season 2 was alright, only watched a few episodes of season 3, and haven't watched an episode since then.
I can't believe Sutherland stuck with it for so long. Fox must have been paying him a shitload of money to stay.

Please let this happen. Please please please cancel Heroes now. I replaced that show with Breaking Bad and haven't looked back.

Finally, I thought season 1 was okay, watched a little bit of season 2. The gimmick started to run thin by that time already. Such a predictable and tired show that was.

sad this was my first tv show i remember watching s3 because there was a portuguese actor playing as a mexican drug lord (lol)

Was this information obtained through torture?
I'm not sure we can trust it, if that's the case.

Thank god. It started to be such a crap show around season 3...

I recently just quit watching the show too. Becoming too repetitive. They had enough possibilities for some creativity, but chose to stay with a miraculous comeback to CTU every time. Too bad.
