For the first time in its five year history, FOX will air reruns of 24 this summer. Starting Friday June 16, Fox will air back-to-back episodes of the serialized drama (8-10pm). The two hour block of episodes is the only way FOX could get through an entire season before the Fall season starts.
Traditionally, serialized dramas generally don’t attract many viewers, but FOX execs believe the show will do just as well as the two hour movie that previously occupied the Friday night timeslot.
