Since it's debut in 2001, "24" has been one of the most critically acclaimed shows on television. In 2006, "24" became the first Fox series to win the Emmy for Best Dramatic Series.
Since "24" deals with the fight against terrorism, the show often parallels what is going on in the real world. The show's use of and debate about torture has made "24" the most politically relevant show on television. Many prominent political leaders from both sides of the spectrum have called "24" their favorite show.
"24" also provides the Fox network with solid, consistent ratings. Despite being off the air for a full year due to the Writer's strike, ratings were still strong for the show's return in January 2009.
Now as Season 8 is getting close to hitting the airwaves, cast, crew and fans are left in limbo not knowing whether or not there will be a season 9. We believe that a show as popular and important as "24" deserves to go out on its own terms with an official "last season."
A 9th season also makes sense from a storytelling perspective. The show has always felt like it was made up of trilogies. A 9th season would made that official.
