The Fox Network won the final Monday of the 2005-06 season with a strong showing from the two-hour finale of 24.

The latest "longest day" of Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) life wound down with an average of 13.5 million viewers, peaking at 14.9 million in the final half-hour, Reuters reported.

Another special agent went out with considerably less of a bang - Sydney Bristow's swan song in the two-hour Alias series finale only captured an average of 6.7 million viewers.
