The first season began airing on November 6, 2001 and concluded on May 21, 2002. The premiere episode originally scheduled to air on October 30, but was delayed due to many network scheduling changes following the terrorist attacks of September 11th. FOX initially ordered thirteen episodes of the series. After leading actor Kiefer Sutherland won a Golden Globe for his role in the first 10 episodes, the ratings of the show increased, leading FOX to order the second half of the season.

The second season began airing on October 29 2002 and concluded on May 20 2003. The premiere aired without commercial interruption and was sponsored by Ford.

Season 3: 2003-2004

Ford Motor Company presented the 54 minute episode commercial-free except for its own six-minute short film featuring the Ford F-150 truck.
