Ratings: 24 Fans Call It a Day
This Monday's ratings recap:
• Dancing with the Stars' last dance partnered up with an audience of 19.75 million total viewers, a week-to-week increase of 680K. The season-ender for lead-out The Bachelor (12.85 mil) drew nearly two million more heads than Rome's arrivederci.

• The two-hour 24 finale averaged 10.19 mil, a 24 percent decline in viewership from the previous "day's" conclusion.
• Heroes (13.21 mil) went out with a bang, surging 1.8 mil to deliver its best numbers since the March 6 arc-ender. But please tell me we did not just say goodbye to both you-know-who and you-know-who...?!
• Criminal Intent (9.24 mil) was up 1.8 mil from last Monday, but fell a good three mil shy of last season's finale.

I agree, Matt. But, add another you-know-who and you-know-who. We've got two seriously wounded and two who've disappeared on Heroes. Serious nail-biting going on in this household.

I'm glad the 24 folks realize they're in trouble. If they didn't already know, these figures should have been enough to give them a wake-up call! Looking forward to a great Day 7!

24 has had it worse season to date FOX might have for a three more years but the show has run it's course. 24 is on the slippery slop. After 5 years a show runs it's a course. And starts to repeat the same storylines over and over! As we see with 24.

The 24 folks know they're stale, and hopefully they will truly reinvigorate the show next year. I think it's still got potential, and leaving LA is certainly a good start. Is it just me, or are they grooming little Ricky to take over for Kiefer? I would not be surprised to see a SHOCKING!!! Jack Bauer death next season.

katcon, I had read in a news item (not a spoiler item) months ago that one of the seriously wounded you-know-whos (actually 3 of them not 2) was already signed as a season 2 series regular. I probably read it in this column. No idea on the other 2 wounded or the 2 that "up" and disappeared. I think it's easy to guess about one of those other 4 with what we already know, so that leaves the fate of 3 in question.
