So, it looks like Booth and Brennan will get their bedroom time this spring after all. No doubt they have their vocal fans to thank for it.
As I reported last Thursday, because of President Obama's prime time address tomorrow night, "Bones" is in danger of losing a whole hour of its season to accommodate "American Idol"'s schedule. And as of late last week, FOX's tentative plan was to push "Bones"' season finale -- which includes the long awaited Booth and Brennan hook up -- to fall.
However, it seems the tentative plan has been tweaked.
Though FOX is not commenting on "Bones"' schedule, insiders tell me that a revised version of their spring lineup was released earlier today and though "Bones" will indeed lose an episode this season, the finale hour is no longer the one marked for postponement. Instead, they've axed ep 4.18 "Beaver in the Otter" (otherwise known on fan sites as ep 4.24, episode numbers are wonky this season due to several year 3 episodes being pushed last spring).
Perhaps the network peeped some of the fans' helpful suggestions and decided to take their feelings into account.
Of course all schedules are subject to change, but I will monitor the situation and keep you updated.
Assuming the current plan stands, are you satisfied? Or are you pissed that you're still probably losing an hour of "Bones" this season?

The fact that any of the Bones episodes is going to be removed from the schedule because of American Idol is annoying and unfair.
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain this to me in simple words? I don't really understand. When is the hook-up-scene?
ReplyDeleteFox isn't the evil one here (as much as I hate what's happening!)...it's the people who are STILL watching American Idol - good lord, just TURN IT OFF!!
ReplyDeleteI personally think that they either need to lock American Idol into a block timeslot...where like Mon-Wed is eaten up or it needs to air during the summer if they're going to continue with it. I've heard that "Bones" is not the ONLY Fox show that is suffering...so is "House" and "Fringe" at the very least!!! I also don't understand why they don't put "Bones" on one hour earlier or during NEWS time and move NEWS to 11pm.
ReplyDeleteI am irritated at the fact that we were supposed to be promised SEVEN additional episodes to this season... The normal "Bones" season running 24 episodes, so with 7 addition episodes we should have 31 episodes...
I think we're landing with about the same count as we would have...25 if they're deleting that one episodes from this season...we're still short several episodes that we're owed!
