I feel that Bones is going to be going for years to come. The cast of that show really have wonderful chemistry to work together.

Mayhoff,
My apologies, I didn’t mean ‘popular’ as much as I’m surprised how well it’s doing after five seasons of flying under my radar. I’ve really jumped on the BONES bandwagon this season and have been surprised by how much I’m enjoying a procedural, a genre that as you know is not my cup of tea. Hart Hanson et al deserve serious credit for creating an immensely likeable group of characters and interesting story-lines week-in-and-week-out.

“The surprisingly popular BONES” There is nothing surprising about Bones. It’s a good show. It’s clear by all the bashing you do of CSI/Murder/Bloody shows you can’t stomach them.

I think for the Dance finale on Tuesday, they are doing a round robin. Each guy will dance with each girl. So that’s 9 dances. It’ll fit in the hour but there won’t be any all guy or all girl group routines like in the past. Still, 6 in the finale is really stupid.

FOX really does pretty well considering they have 9pm news, just like NBC gave up their 9pm slot to Leno.

The SYTYCD finale is 2 hours on wednesday. They are showing a 1 hour episode on Tuesday before the “Gordan Ramsey Cookalong Live” special.

WAIT, the SYTYCD finale is only an hour long??? That sucks. The finale is the best episode of the year usually. Anyway, that was also going to be my complaint. If they knew that the world series and the holidays would have messed with the season so much (not to mention the fact that the summer season had JUST ended), then they shouldn’t have done a fall season.

But overall I’m pretty happy with Fox right now. Fringe and Glee are two of my favorite shows right now.

TVA – I think Fringe and Bones actually pair really well and being on Friday would have just hurt more. To me it actually shows faith in the show that FOX is keeping it in the Thursday position; that’s a high dollar night. Now if only other people would watch it live like me…

bws,
Just got 24 this week, looking forward to watching it… but will probably save it till the Christmas break when nothing else is on! Not being a fan of dance can’t comment on SYTYCD but I actually applaud FOX’s handeling of the MLB playoffs. Unlike previous years,

Robert,
I’m a bit curious how FRINGE would have played on Friday night leading into DOLLHOUSE. Two shows far more compatible than ‘TIL DEATH/BROTHERS leading into FRINGE.

And the return of 24? I’m hearing good things. You get a screener of that yet, TVA?

I’m generally pleased with FOX. Dollhouse could not be saved and they gave it a healthy 13 episode season. I would have liked that from the IMO superior TSCC. But still, a very good fall for FOX. Glee really ended on a high note. It’s not always a home run for me but has more good days than bad days. But when it comes back, it will be head to head with the final 6 episodes of LOST. Yikes. I feel FOX didn’t quite handle the World Series right this year resulting in peculiar scheduling and rules changes for SYTYCD. How in the world did they end up with a 1 hour finale with 6 dancers? Bizarre.

Fringe should be moved to a different day of the week and replaced with 24 or something.
