America can't even save a television 007, because viewers don't by in to propaganda as they once did in the 1950's. Americans are past the terrorist fear factor. 24 was great during the early years of being caught up into terror, but now it's out of touch with the audience. During the Obama era, people are steering towards peace, and are more concerned about the economy.
Fox network will eventually drop the series, as rumored for many years. But in the mean time, 24 audience has whined down to a few million viewers, not a Fox network record for their expected shows. It's all about the numbers with Fox and 24 is running out of time. Fox does push the limits, but they're are greedy for ratings, which will make short-term fad shows. American Idol and a few other shows are at the top of their game, but Fox has been doing a lousy job with ratings for being the #1 network. By the way, CBS holds the title, because they allow their shows to marinate and build audiences slowly. Learn from the champion. Let your audience spread word of mouth.
