Rumor du jour: Fox's '24' may be heading to NBC
Is Fox’s “24” headed for NBC? The New York Post reported this morning that the struggling network is interested in Twentieth Television’s Kiefer Sutherland drama, whose four-year deal is up after May 23’s season finale. The Post story quotes an anonymous source that says NBC has expressed its interest in “24.” This season the show has averaged a shade under 12 million viewers an episode, its best season ever. The odds still remain Fox will keep the series, despite an expected increase in its licensing fee, but if it does make the switch it wouldn’t be the first show to do so: “Grounded For Life” aired on Fox for two seasons before it jumped to the WB in February 2003, and “JAG” aired its first season on NBC before moving to CBS for its final nine seasons.
That would be quite a "get" for NBC. "24" has been may favorite show on TV ever since it debuted.
But would NBC be jumping on the Bauer Bandwagon too late? This season has been great. Despite plot holes big enough to dive a truck through, the show still remains very satisfying. But how long can they keep that up?
Of course, this is all rumor and speculation. I'll believe "24" is moving when I see it.
it won't happen. there's no way. mark my words
