Det finns en matematisk formel för det där, som jag inte minns på rak hand för i ärlihetens namn förtränger jag det mesta som hat med matte att göra, men resonemanget bakom det är att det blir för dyrt att lägga ned en serie om det satsats för mycket pengar på den. Det blir helt enkelt billigare att ge den en säsong till att växa. Till exempel kan den gå bra i utlandet så de kan få igen pengarna där, även om det givetvis främst är hemmamarknaden som räknas. Man väljer då helt enkelt att försöka få igen pengarna på långsiktig eftersom man redan lagt ned så mycklet pengar på det.

24 till NBC om Fox lägger ner serien?

24's Clock May Keep Ticking on NBC?

Source:Entertainment Weekly March 12, 2010

Entertainment Weekly reports that 20th Century Fox has approached NBC about picking up "24" should Fox opt to cancel it — and the NBC is considering it.

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that 20th Century Fox and the Fox network are nearing a mutual decision to end the serial thriller after eight seasons due to declining ratings and rising costs.

If the series does continue, that would probably push the planned movie back.

Går 24 till NBC så läggs den väl ner efter 17 timmar

Ärligt hoppas jag att 24 går mot sitt slut nu faktiskt. Det kändes fräscht till femte säsongen typ sen har den mest gått på tomgång.

[Synon]

Jaså, jag som trodde det handlade om att lägga ner tv-serien för att satsa på film i stället vilket herr Sutherland verkar gilla skarpt enligt artiklar jag läst.

[Rick Hunter]

Ja hellre en film än ytterligare en säsong till.

[GaterGirl]

@synon, ja det finns det ryktet också.

[Wylie Times]

Förhoppningsvis är det det som stämmer också. Bäst före datumet på 24 gick ut för ett par säsonger sen.

End of the day for '24'
Long-running show gets official cancellation
Posted: Fri., Mar. 26, 2010, 4:58pm PT

Jack Bauer's clock has officially been stopped.

The cast and crew of "24" were given the official word on Friday: This season will be the show's last.

News, finally confirmed by Fox, had been expected -- Variety reported earlier this month that the network was ready to call it a day (Daily Variety, March 9). Star Kiefer Sutherland, exec producer Howard Gordon and the studio were also leaning toward ending the show's run as well.

"For us, creatively, it seemed like the right time to do it," Sutherland told Variety. "It's very bittersweet. '24' was the greatest learning experience of my career so far. And on a personal level, working with this cast and crew and writers, these will be friends of mine for the rest of my life."

Fox had planned to inform the show's cast and crew earlier this month that it wouldn't pick up a ninth season. But first, sister studio 20th Century Fox TV asked Sutherland, Gordon and the rest of the show's producers to think long and hard about whether they had a strong desire to pursue a season nine.

At the same time, 20th took calls from parties toying with the idea of acquiring the show -- including NBC and DirecTV, which was rumored to be considering a production model in the vein of "Friday Night Lights."

But ultimately, Sutherland, Gordon and company felt that they had accomplished what they wanted to with the show, and were ready to wrap things up.

"Kiefer and me and the writers had (a decision to make)," Gordon said. "What's the creative? What do we do? Is there any more story left to be told in this 24-hour format? We turned over every stone, and really determined that the story has come to an end in this 24-hour format."

Both Sutherland and Gordon said they're bullish now on moving Jack Bauer to the big screen, and compressing a 24-hour day -- yes the entire movie's action will still take place in just one day -- over the course of just two hours.

"The opportunity to make a movie and do a two-hour representation was something appealing to he and I both," Sutherland said.

As Variety reported in February, scribe Billy Ray ("State of Play") is busy writing a screenplay; Gordon will produce.

"For the first time, we'll be able to go from England to Russia, or China to Japan, depending on where they choose to set it," Sutherland said. "Before on the TV show, the crisis had to come to us. The best we could do it was get across town... It alleviates a huge hurdle that real-time writing presented."

As for the final episodes of "24," Fox's marketing team will now be able to start touting the show's finale -- and will likely get a nice Monday night ratings bump as the show comes to a close.

Gordon finished up the final episode a few weeks ago (calling it a "very emotional moment" when he hit "send", and that series ender is now in the process of being shot).

"There are risks starting around episode 17, and some real challenging things Kiefer was willing to go for," Gordon said.

The exec producer said the series will end on a tremendous, and suitable note that signifies that this isn't just another season ender. But here's a hint: Jack neither walks off whistling into the sunset, nor winds up in a body bag.

"We tried everything on for size, from Jack's demise to a happy ending," he said. "Both of those were unsatisfying for their own reasons."

Fox planned to make the official announcement on Monday, but longtime "24" director Jon Cassar informed his Twitter followers that the crew was given the firm word of "24's" wrap.

"News from the '24' set," Cassar wrote (cleaned up from his original text). "The crew has been told that '24' has come to an end. There will be no season 9. It's been a great run, thanks all for watching."

As Variety wrote on March 9, "24" helped usher in Fox's ratings surge in the 2000s, as the franchise -- along with "American Idol" and "House," among other series -- led the network's adults 18-49 ratings crown.

But the cost of producing "24" has continued to increase, while ratings have dipped.

"24" was created by Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow, while exec producer Gordon runs the show through his Teakwood Lane Prods. banner. Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment produces the show along with 20th Century Fox TV.

Sutherland has starred throughout all eight seasons as Jack Bauer, a federal agent and member of the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit (and who has saved the world several times over). "24" made noise for its real time format, in which all 24 episodes take place as consecutive hours in the same day.

"Bob and Joel created a revolutionary format," Gordon said. "They executed it for the first half of the series as my partners and friends, and those were some of the most remarkable years I had creatively."

Although it was developed before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, "24" debuted several months afterward -- and in many ways began to mirror the changed world, given the real-life fears over terrorism and debates over torture methods. The show's depiction of an African-American president was also seen as a ground-breaking precursor to the 2008 election of Barack Obama.

"('24') came at a time when our world changed and our perception of our safety and vulnerability changed," Gordon said. Gordon noted that the show had its supporters and detractors on both sides of the political aisles. Sutherland, meanwhile, said he was less concerned about the show's place in popular culture and more than it just be remembered as a strong piece of work.

"My concern as an actor and as a producer was that the stories were interesting, the drama was going to put you on the edge of your seat and that we would maintain the quality," he said. "I can't help someone politicizing something. It was done by the right and the left... the only thing I can say is, it's a TV show."

"24" won both the Emmy and the Golden Globe awards for outstanding drama, while Sutherland has scored both an Emmy and a Globe for drama actor. "24" has also received Emmy Awards for writing and directing; last year, Cherry Jones won an Emmy for supporting actress in a drama.

This season's edition of "24," which takes place in New York, stars Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Cherry Jones, Anil Kapoor, Annie Wersching, Katee Sackhoff, Mykelti Williamson, Freddie Prinze Jr., Chris Diamantopoulos and John Boyd.

Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, David Fury, Manny Coto, Brannon Braga, Brad Turner, Alex Gansa, Kiefer Sutherland and Brian Grazer are executive producers.

Next up for Gordon, he's partnering with Alex Gansa and Gideon Raff to adapt Raff's Israeli drama "Prisoners of War" for U.S. audiences, through 20th.

Sutherland, meanwhile, said he'd be willing to try another TV series.

"There's amazing TV out there," he said. "And drama and kind of human interaction I was interested in as an actor is being done there."

Syfy Channel will move its Friday night dramas to Tuesdays starting in October, the network announced this week.

Stargate Universe, Sanctuary and Caprica will air on Tuesday nights, where the network has had great success in the summer months with Eureka and Warehouse 13, its two highest rated original series. SGU and Sanctuary air in the fall months, Caprica in the winter. SGU then returns for the second half of its season during the spring.

ABC Renews V, Cancels FLASHFORWARD, BETTER OFF TED, ROMANTICALLY CHALLENGED, SCRUBS, And Picks Up 6 Pilots
May 13th, 2010

Over at ABC headquarters today, the network renewed V for a second season and cancelled freshman shows FlashForward and Romantically Challenged alongside veteran comedies Scrubs and Better Off Ted. ABC has plenty of material to fill those slots, though, as the network officially picked up comedies Mr. Sunshine, Better Together, Happy Endings and dramas The Whole Truth, Detroit 187 and My Generation for their fall schedule. More on each item after the jump.

Both V and FlashForward–the much-hyped ABC sci-fi series of Fall 2009–premiered to great numbers, leading many to think “Hey, maybe ABC will finally be able to repeat the success of Lost after all.” Unfortunately for ABC, such did not come to pass, as the ratings for each show steadily declined over the course of the season. V held up better–perhaps due to its Lost lead-in for the spring episodes–and The Live Feed reports it has been rewarded with another chance to prove itself in a second season. The ratings declines of FlashForward proved to be unforgivable, though, as ABC will cease production on the show after the finale airs on May 27.

At this time last year, neither Scrubs nor Better Off Ted were drawing particularly impressive numbers; but the ABC comedy well was rather dry, so each got another season. Cut to a year later, when Modern Family, The Middle, and Cougar Town have established a solid comedic presence on Wednesday nights. Hence, ABC no longer has the need to keep Scrubs, Ted, or the mediocre freshman sitcom Romantically Challenged around: according to EW all three were cancelled today.

In addition to Wednesday night comedy block, The Live Feed reports that ABC picked up a trio of comedies today–Mr. Sunshine, No Happy Endings, and Better Together–and a trio of dramas–The Whole Truth, Detroit 187, and My Generation–today. They will join the recently ordered superhero drama No Ordinary Family on the fall schedule. Here are the details on all the pilots ABC has picked up so far:

NO ORDINARY FAMILY
Plot: “A seemingly normal American family one day finds that they have developed superabilities.”
Cast/Crew: co-created by Greg Berlanti (Green Lantern); stars Michael Chiklis (The Shield) and Julie Benz (Dexter)

DETROIT 187
Plot: “A documentary crew gives us an insider’s view of the homicide unit, capturing the professional crises, as well as the raw personal heartbreak and heroism of these inner-city cops.”
Cast/Crew: created by Jason Richman (Bangkok Dangerous); stars Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos)

MR. SUNSHINE
Plot: “The middle-aged manager of a mid-level sports arena, some juggles a wide variety of sports and entertainment acts, while handling his erratic boss and apathetic staff.”
Cast/Crew: co-created by star Matthew Perry (Friends); cast includes Allison Janney (West Wing), Andrea Anders (Better Off Ted), and Portia Doubleday (Youth in Revolt)

NO HAPPY ENDINGS
Plot: “For years, perfect couple Dave and Alex drew their friends in and held them together. Now that they’ve split, does this group have the stuff to stay together?”
Cast/Crew: cast includes Damon Wayans Jr. (My Wife and Kids), Elisha Cuthbert (24), Eliza Coupe (Scrubs), and Casey Wilson (Saturday Night Live)

BETTER TOGETHER
Plot: “Two couples, from two different generations, have very different outlooks on love.”
Cast/Crew: created by Shana Goldberg-Meehan (Friends)

MY GENERATION
Plot: “A documentary crew captured Greenbelt High School’s class of 2000 on film. Now, it’s ten years later and as the former classmates return home.”
Cast/Crew: created by Noah Hawley (Bones)

THE WHOLE TRUTH
Plot: “While victims and defendants wait breathlessly to learn their fate, lawyers are working behind the scenes and in the courtroom, making frantic moves and countermoves of complex legal wrangling to tilt justice in their favor.”
Cast/Crew: produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI), created by Tom Donaghy (Without a Trace); cast includes Rob Morrow (Numb3rs) and Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck)

I början kändes den lite gammaldags i sitt upplägg men ju mer man tittar desto tydligare blir den röda tråd som finns och samspelet mellan de tre är riktigt bra.
Jag gillar Jackie Earle Haley skarpt i Human Target, rekommenderas!



Edit: Synd på Flash Forward tyckte den var mycket bättre än V

Han är typ det enda som är riktigt bra i serien. Annars är det väl rätt lättsam underhållning ungefär som Burn Notice.
