Last night’s episode of 24: Legacy was seen by 3.19 million viewers. This is a decrease of about 108,000 viewers from last week and a new series low. But despite falling in total viewers, it increased slightly in the 18-49 demo to an 0.9 (up one tenth from last week’s series low 0.8).

Tony Almeida’s heavily hyped return to 24: Legacy didn’t do much to help the ratings. Episode 7 was seen by 3.89 million viewers and 1.0 in the 18-49 demographic.

March 29, 2017 at 8:34 pmIt’s kind of similar to Netflix profiles in a way – before they watch TV they have to first “log in” by pressing a button. Each family member has their own button (number 1 through 8) which is how Nielsen knows exactly who in the household is watching and their demographics.

March 28, 2017 at 5:16 pmWhile it’s difficult to compare the ratings of 24 Legacy to the original, this season has dropped more viewers week to week than other seasons. The last season to consistently drop week after week was season 6. Season 7 improved on that (Tony’s return must have made a difference).
24 Spoilers
March 28, 2017 at 5:35 pmIt would explain why the ratings barely increased when Tony returned (because those fans were already watching and waiting for him) yet had a massive drop off the very next episode (when those fans realized how insignificant his role was and gave up).
Big Boss
March 28, 2017 at 6:01 pmIt is rather telling how many seemed to be watching only for him, though. Three episodes left but I think we should expect more of the same, hopefully he’ll have more to do at least.

March 29, 2017 at 2:06 amI can see DVR ratings shooting up a lot for episodes 7-9 as many Tony fans are old 24 fans and would want to watch 24 Legacy without commercials. Many old 24 fans know 24 is a binge worthy type of show and do not watch live.

March 29, 2017 at 2:12 amSo I agree, stop the accusations.
I am using my real name and email. I have nothing to hide with my opinions and facts
Also I defend 24 Legacy because 24 is like a good friend of mine. And when our friends in life get bullied by haters we defend them and stick up for them. I have an emotional attachment to 24. Its always been there for me when I needed it the most. I also love Howard Gordon, Kiefer and the writers!
I also have an emotional attachment to many other shows like The Apprentice, Walking Dead, Seinfeld, Fuller House, Breaking Bad, Designated Survivor, House of Cards, Its always sunny in Philadelphia, and Better Call Saul!

March 29, 2017 at 9:17 amI really couldn’t be bothered with Legacy. I feel so deflated from it.
I was hoping to catch up with it later on in the week but judging by the comments Tony is only in this episode for a minute or so. What a crushing disappointment. He could be in every frame of the next 3 episodes but it still wouldn’t make up for wasting him so cruelly for the last few weeks. What a major letdown.

Matthew R.C.
March 29, 2017 at 11:14 am24L is a fresh take on introducing newer characters in the 24 universe, because you can only do so many storylines invovling Jack Bauer, etc; hence why season 8 and LAD were hard to pull off in the writing department. (According to various interviews, featurettes at the time)
As I am glad that 24 is a continuation rather than a reboot, some plot scenarios I noticed are familiar. It somewhat took away from the high suspense factor from past seasons. The characters themselves are interesting, especially Eric Carter reminding me of the Jack Bauer from season 1. With Tony’s return, I wished that he is intertwined more into the plot. Hoping that the next three episodes, we will see him more in action. I am actually anticipating him and Eric teaming up, which would be cool!
I am hoping that a season 2 would happen, to develop and explore more avenues to help 24L come to complete fruition. This is where I partly wish that 24 would go back to the full 24 episode season, as opposed to the 12-13 version, allowing more time to develop storylines, characters, while actually taking place in one entire day.
One question I have, I wonder who is the current president in 24L. The only season that didn’t indicate that information.

March 29, 2017 at 1:11 pmAndy, I am wondering the same thing myself. Tony and Jack both tie first place spot in my book. I only wished Solitary explained that more, so the transition into 24L would make more sense. Just as when the prequel DVD shorts that would lead into the next season of 24.
Bluetooth Group, nice name, I remember those guys! Same here, the Ingram/Almedia subplot does deserve to dig into the backstory more. Considering the inconsistenty concerns it caused here and on the official FB page. I have my own theory on that actually:
Rebecca was the director of CTU DC , while Tony was living in the shadows in the same town; all occuring between day 5 and continued during day 6, and the time before 24: Redemption. When it was revealed Tony is alive, and CTU DC was dismantled, no way of linking them both on day 7.
As day 8, during and between LAD took place, CTU DC was likley reinstated with Ingram perhaps resuming her position as the acting director?

March 30, 2017 at 8:11 am24 will never be as great as it once was. I’m convinced that even if they did a 24 episode season of Legacy it would still be crap. 24 was the best during the first few years.

March 29, 2017 at 3:28 pmI thought/hoped the return of Tony would help somewhat but thats pissed me off even more. Its been 3 episodes and they haven’t even explained how/why he’s out of prison or why he’s all of a sudden a “good guy” again. The fact that they’re hardly even acknowledging what a big part of the original he was is even disrespectful.

March 29, 2017 at 3:31 pmMatthew R.C.
March 29, 2017 at 5:08 pmOn a personal level, I would vote the first episode of 24L my favorite, because Stephen Hopkins directed (as his involvement is noticeable). He was the head director of S1, which made 24 was it is today, by him coming up with the split screen concept during phone conversations, and pursued to cast Kiefer as Jack Bauer.
The earlier seasons were different by comparison, more intense to say the least. I wonder if the absence of Howard Gordon and some key writers & producers is the reason of 24L being a little weak in the writing department. I was actually expecting a similar feel as Live Another Day had. I hope that a second season is greenlit, to improve on this issue.
