Fox has decided to bring back 24, once one of its biggest hits, as a two-hour stand-alone movie on Sunday night, hoping that it will permit fans to reconnect with the show after its audience plummeted during the 2006-07 season. It did not return in 2007-08 because the writers' strike prevented it from producing sufficient episodes. Fox presumably hopes that Sunday's movie, titled 24: Redemption will allow the producers to redeem themselves with the audience, many of whom had sharply criticized the story line of the series' last season. In an interview with Bloomberg News, Horizon Media's research director Brad Adgate said, "They've raised the bar so high for some of the story lines that it's very easy to disappoint viewers." The series is scheduled to return to the Fox lineup on January 11.
