EW: [24] to retun to television (FOX) as 13 episodes RazorHawk May 10, 11:27

that works out to about 1hr 51 min per episode... {nm} Oleg Max May 10, 11:29

I was thinking 12 would make more sense, 13 is common for new series that may then the back 9 for 22. But they knew this was limited. {nm} KalElFan May 10, 11:34

it will be Kiefer on steroids! {nm} Oleg Max May 10, 11:37

Each of the first 11 eps get 2 hours worth of Bauer mayhem crammed into 1 hour, before the real-time 2-hour finale gets it to 24. :-) {nm} KalElFan May 10, 13:52

13 is a full season on cable for shows like Homefront. {nm} Antibody May 10, 11:39

are we going to get an IPO for it? {nm} Oleg Max May 10, 11:40

It's not a new series, and it's pointless when the delist price in know in advance. {nm} Antibody May 10, 11:47

season order does not always equal its eventual run. it might get canned before time is up.... anyone remembers why it Oleg Max May 10, 12:04

Again, this is not a new series. FOX is not going to bring 24 back and cancel it midway through. {nm} Antibody May 10, 12:08

i am fine with no IPO, was just stating a point... {nm} Oleg Max May 10, 12:11

Your point is only valid for order of NEW series. No chance they'll cancel a show like 24 halfway and leave viewers hanging. Antibody May 10, 12:15

It ran for eight seasons, so wasn 't cancelled. It got stale creatively toward the end and everybody felt it had run its course. {nm} socby19 May 11, 01:40

It varies, but yeah 13 is very common. Here, 24 was screaming for a 12 though. :-) I'm guessing Guild rules may make 13 better. {nm} KalElFan May 10, 13:17

Maybe the contract standard allows the studio to lock up talent better for future seasons for example, when it's at least 13. {nm} KalElFan May 10, 13:18
