Fox’s Smash Hit 24 Has Revolutionzed TV Viewing
When 24 premiered back in 2001 it was a modest hit. When the DVD came out and those who hadn’t been watched from the beginning caught on to the show they became addicted. As people caught on to the fact that they needed to watch every week to understand the development of the show Fox realized the gem they had. As they soon discovered, an audience in mass proportions, could stomach a show like 24. The second season of 24 was a huge hit–sky rocketing from the 8.60 million viewers the first season was able to pull in, to an 11.73 million viewers. Here is a quote from watching24.com
“24 was beginning to shape a phenomenon that we only really got a glimpse of this year. After 24’s success ABC premiered Lost in 2004 garnering huge praise from critics and audiences alike. Serial dramas were off and running.
According to the TV Guide dated Sept. 11-17, 2006, which was the Fall Preview of all the new shows, 92 shows premiered and over half of them were serialized soaps, dramas, or thrillers. Now with shows like Heroes and Studio 60, who have tremendous production values, TV shows are beginning to look a lot more like extended movies rather than small screen ways to pass your free time.”
With my new addiction in mind, I’ve found some sites for you to get your 24 fix. (I’m currently halfway through Season 3, and I’m pacing to finish Season 4 and Season 5 before Season 6 premiers in January).
