24 Season 8 Premiere Ratings

January 18, 2010 · 0 comments

Ratings for the first two hours of the premiere are in:

The return of “24″ and a special preview of Fox’s new drama “Human Target” generated solid preliminary numbers Sunday night, though both earned less than previous benchmarks.

The two-hour “24″ opener was seen by 11.4 million and enjoyed a hefty 3.8 rating, though that’s down 12% from last year. The action-drama slipped slightly from its first half-hour to its second, then basically held steady for the rest of the night (a crucial measurement for this heavily serialized show).

Fox has released several clips from the 24 season 8 premiere. It’s pretty cool how Victor Aruz was part of the Salazar sting-operation, it’s always nice to get references to earlier seasons.

Matt Mitovich teases season 8 premiere

December 15, 2009 · 0 comments

Fancast’s Matt Webb Mitovich has seen the 24 premiere and gives out some intriguing teases. Sounds like an action-packed intense first episode.

When is the ‘24‘ premiere going to be on? – frednow via Twitter
Jack Bauer’s next very bad day kicks off with a two-night, four-hour premiere on Sunday, January 17 (a rare occasion where Fox takes programming into the 10 o’clock hour). I’ve screened the opener, and it is sure is good to have Jack back. In the first hour alone, there are upwards of 10 deaths, one big explodey thing, and the introduction of at least four possible treasonous moles. The only Debby Downer is that poor Chloe gets repeatedly schooled by new CTU computer wonk Katee Sackhoff – though I suppose you could ask for a worse girl fight.

TV Guide Magazine trashes Elisha Cuthbert & Kim Bauer

December 7, 2009 · 0 comments

Elisha Cuthbert Maxim

Jeers to The Forgotten for adding Elisha Cuthbert to the cast in a recurring role. Yeah, that’s just what Christian Slater’s struggling ABC crime drama needs—the most annoying actress in 24 history (maybe her TV dad—and Slater’s old Young Guns costar—Kiefer Sutherland recommended her?). Cuthbert, who’ll also return to 24 in January (why?), will debut on The Forgotten in February as Maxine Denver, a Chicago woman linked to a case taken by the show’s group of non-professional sleuths. With any luck, it’ll involve a mountain lion—and this time Cuthbert’s character won’t escape.

Are you excited about Elisha’s Forgotten role?

Ouch. I’ve gotta admit, I’m not the biggest Kim Bauer fan either after all the silly storylines the 24 writers put her through. But the author of this article, Bruce Fetts, seems to take a personal crusade against Elisha as an actress rather than her character. Harsh stuff.

Paul Wesley to return for 24 season 8 premiere

September 26, 2009

For now maybe, but things are on the up for the actor. And next year, he’ll also appear in “24’s” two-hour season premiere, after filming several episodes as the husband of Jack Bauer’s daughter, Kim, played by Elisha Cuthbert.

“It was a pleasure to work on the show because it’s such a prestigious show and I just wanted to be involved in any way possible,” Wesley said of his small role, which began last season. “I love Elisha. She’s so sweet and I got to meet Kiefer Sutherland which is great because I’m a big fan.”

And now when he’s back in LA, perhaps, Access suggests, the two will bump into each other, series star to series star.

“I doubt Kiefer Sutherland watches ‘Vampire Diaries,’” Wesley chuckles. “Actually, then again, you never know, he was in ‘Lost Boys,’ right?”

Indeed, Kiefer was in that hit ‘80s vampire movie. And with Wesley’s help, “Vampire Diaries” could soon be just as popular.
