24 Ratings Better Than Bush's (That's Not Saying Much)

The show 24 debuted their special made-for-tv movie event on Sunday, to a pleasant increase in ratings.
According to Nielsen estimates, the show’s prequel special – 24: Redemption – averaged 12.1 million viewers, better than the spring finale at 10.3 million, but still not as good as the sixth season’s debut in 2007 at 15.8 million.
Ratings began to fall alongside Bush’s ratings, as the show prominently featured scenes of torture, which has become passe since the election campaign came and went.
As a result, critics called the new prequel a “kinder, gentler” version of the action series.
A reflection of the times, let’s hope!
