Who ever said that the rating are lower than ever can not be paying much attention to the standings.. Hero in the hold got more viewership than any other episode almost 1.5 million more people watching. More and more people are watching and liking the great ensemble cast.. No body can deny that emily and david have the best chemistry on tv.. I will watch the show because it is the best crime drama on tv, and also has the best ensemble and because of david...

Fox has a habit of killing all the shows I like before I even know they’re on. Ex (Firefly, Dark Angel, Drive) and now Bones though it’s lasted longer. You would think Fox would try to help there shows succeed apishly after Firefly’s cult following spawned a blockbuster move. I just can’t believe Joss Whedon made Dollhouse for Fox after they killed Firefly. I wish the best of luck to Bones, and Dollhouse. Maybe Fox will wake up and learn from there mistakes.

What does he call adds for BONES on FOX every other commercial or the fact that it's advertised on TNT now? I don't spend my day watching FOX, but I have seen precious little advertising for "Fringe" or "Lie to Me". Especially with 'Fringe' being off the air fo so long.

Pshht. --"Not only has BONES admirably filled the “Most Valuable Player” void left by the dearly departed THAT 70’s SHOW" You just compared BONES - a supposed procedural crime drama to a comedy sitcom. Ironic? I think not. *snerk* --"four time-slot changes in as many seasons" Some of that is FOX actually using BONES to help other new shows. And because BONES gets booty-spanked in the ratings by CBS's shows. Would you rather it went against 'NCIS'? 'Mentalist'? 'Amazing Race'? Yeah, thought not. "Add to that, the fact that BONES has helped to finally make FOX a force to be reckoned with on Thursday night (as per TV Week), “boosting the network’s season-to-date average in the 8PM time-slot by 43% in adults 18 to 49 and by a whopping 74% in overall viewers,” Hmm. Wait til "Survivor" comes back. Or something else on CBS...like CSI or "Eleventh Hour". Honestly, with basketball, I don't know what's supposed to be on on Thurs nights on the other networks, but I imagine when the schedule gets back to normal, BONES won't be "whopping" anything. Season-to-date - means BONES was the strongest thing they wanted to move into that times slot against whatever goes in the CBS 8PM timeslot.

Maybe the exec are feeling the pinch of the economy and would like wait and see...maybe they're as off-put by the show's finale spoilers as a lot of the fans are? Maybe they'll come with a full season order come April? Who knows. All I can say is that with a new crop of new shows lined up for next fall, ratings for a lot of shows going down, lots of shows on the bubble (several on FOX) BONES getting ANY script orders this early shouldn't be complaining.

Some of that is FOX actually using BONES to help other new shows. And because BONES gets booty-spanked in the ratings by CBS’s shows. Would you rather it went against ‘NCIS’? ‘Mentalist’? ‘Amazing Race’? Yeah, thought not.

“Add to that, the fact that BONES has helped to finally make FOX a force to be reckoned with on Thursday night (as per TV Week), “boosting the network’s season-to-date average in the 8PM time-slot by 43% in adults 18 to 49 and by a whopping 74% in overall viewers,”

Although I also love House, Without a Trace, Cold Case, the Office, I can't remember a show in which the actors so naturally interact. I can seriously believe that if there wasn't a camera around and they were not on a production set, that they would still interact in the same fashion. That makes the show that much more enjoyable - that the characters are not seemingly very detached from the actors that portray them. Bones is the best show I have ever loyally watched.

The fans find it and watch it no matter what. It IS really crappy the way they're only ordering 6 SCRIPTS for next season, not even episodes yet. Do the right thing, Fox.
