Nooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the changed the finale date for Bones.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? That SUCKS. I hate when they do crap like this. Then Fox wonders why the ratings keep falling off their shows. Now they just moved Bones again this spring, and now they think it's a good idea to drop a mini-hiatus just before the final two episodes of the season? Unbelievable. God, I hate Fox.
ReplyDeleteMan, what's the deal this year with postponements and long breaks?...
ReplyDeleteMy only guess is so that the last two episodes are back to back and not separated by a couple weeks. That's the only explanation I can think of. Doesn't mean I like it, though.
ReplyDeleteI feel like they change it so it doesn't clash with the other finales that might be airing around that time. Alot of fall shows are having their season finale like the first 2 week of may so they want to pull in the rating with the season finale probably
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I think The Voice's finale is the 19th so it might not actually help Bones all that much. Who knows, though. We'll just have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteI was really looking forward to watching a new episode of Bones. Ugh, it's so infuriating when networks change the air dates. May 12 it is then. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYEY...J
