24 Is Coming Back - Kind Of

After no one could decide on how to make a movie of 24, which does not seem that hard by the way, Fox now wants the show to come back. It misses Kiefer Sutherland and the very strong ratings, but does not want to commit to entire seasons of the show. What Fox is proposing is a return to the 70's and 80's. They want mini-series. Lots of them. They want people to come to the network and then hang out awhile. You know, because the viewers of 24 or also big Family Guy viewers. Anyway, the deal would be that once or twice a year, there would be 3 nights in a row of 24. Wrapping everything up in one very short weekly commitment. I like the idea, but here is what will happen. There will be huge ratings and Fox will get greedy and want it back for a season or two and then ratings will suffer and the show will be gone for good.
