One fallout of the Hollywood writers strike is that fans of Fox's drama "24" have to wait until next January to see Jack Bauer again.
The network has committed to air a full season on consecutive weeks and had been planning to start last month. If it had started airing new episodes soon, the season finale would not have taken place until the summer, when TV networks rarely show their high-profile programs.
Even though eight episodes for this season had already been filmed before the beginning of the writers strike, producers would have had to ramp up production soon to complete the season.
So "24" represents this television season's most prominent casualty due to the writers strike.
A January 2009 start seemed the best way to comply with viewers' wishes that a season's episodes run without interruption to conclusion, Fox said on Thursday.
中文大意为:24FANS看来要等很长时间了,FOX剧集24小时不得不推迟到下一个一月份(09年1月),文中还提到为了新一季的收视率所以推迟到09年放,不然到了夏季就不得不停止播出换成体育赛事。FOX还说,24是这次罢工运动的典型受害者。
新的一季将在09年1月播出,届时FOX将防止任何因素导致24新一季暂停播出,满足观众期许。
