Either Fox has given up on 24 or it’s been decided that The Golden Globe Awards are irrelevant to other networks.
Usually, the big awards shows–Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes–and big sporting events clear the schedules of ever network that isn’t broadcasting them, relegating the prime time slots to reruns and movies.
Not the case tonight as Fox premiers the new season of 24 (which as been a long time coming due to last year’s writers’ strike and Kiefer’s legal troubles) directly against the Globes.
ABC doesn’t even seem to care about the Globes as they’ve got new episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Desperate Housewives on tonight.
CBS tunes in 60 Minutes and Cold Case freshness in those first two hours, too.
Guess all signs point to the Globes being irrelevant to network programming concerns.
