24 Premiere Ratings
FOX finished 2nd in the ratings last night with the 24 season premiere.
CBS beat out FOX because the NFL Playoff game they had ran over.
It’s still an overall good start for 24.
Here’s a quote from TVweek.com
“24″ premiere earned a 6.1 rating among adults 18 to 49, according to preliminary Nielsen Media Research figures. That’s higher than the show’s 2005 premiere, but down from its football-aided debut last year.
So it seems that the leaked episodes didn’t really have that much affect, if any on the show. It’s just that last year FOX had the NFL Playoffs, not CBS. And 24, was boosted by that being it’s lead-in.
Overall a great night for 24’s ratings.

To say the least. I was still hesitant as to whether or not the 4-episode premiere for this season was going to top last season’s, but after seeing the fourth episode tonight, I’m extremely satisfied. That was quite a roller coaster ride at the end. Jack breaking down after being forced to shoot his buddy curtis; the bomb actually going off; the assurance that there are 4 more “visitors”, and seeing the previews for next week; What a show!
