The "blockbuster" two-hour opener will now air on Sunday, January 9 at 8pm, the same day as the NFC Wild Card game on FOX. The drama's regular time period premiere - Mondays at 9pm - remains as January 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 This isn't exactly a bad thing. The football game should be a good lead-in, plus hopefully we'll get a lot of the plot buildup out of the way in the first week. BTW, word is that Tony Almeda will be back for at least a few eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 Wouldnt three hours in three days be a bit much though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 Probably. So what does it mean if it's 3 hours in a 25-hour span? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 The only news about this is the fact that they are doing back to back nights. Just remember that being backed up to January means there wont be a whole month like the last 2 seasons where there isn't a new episode. It also gave them fewer weeks to get in the 24 episodes which meant that they had to do the 2 hour premiere. I know that they wont do with a 2 hour premiere is a commercial free episode, which sucks, but maybe they can pull off limited commercial interruption or something so that there arent so many commercials.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 6, 2004 3 hours of a good show in alittle over a day isn't too much. They could do an hour of the 2 hour premiere as commercial free, just like the usual premiere. The first half hour and last half hour can run commercial free, but the middle hour has commercials.
