    1. Bones has been dying a natural death for the past two seasons, ever since the two lead (characters) got married.
      However, I was surprised how sad the figures were last night.

      1. Bones is still very watchable despite the fact the leads got married. The ratings aren’t helped by 7 playing around with timeslots, interchanging between double and single episodes, not fast tracking, airing too late and it not being available on catch up. I suspect viewers have grown tired and chasing it around the schedule in terms of both nights, timeslots and the amount of episodes airing and when they’ve possibly gone to plus7 and seen no catch up they’ve given up.

        I wonder how the blacklist will go tonight. I don’t watch it myself but that show has been really delayed. I doubt it will get the ratings like when it was fast tracked.

        1. I don’t watch Bones…but I do quickly turn off shows that are messed around with…I have no patience for programmers games….

  1. I suspect 9 will either bump AD: Series of Doom to Easter Sunday 2016 or start doubling up episodes to get rid of it by the end of the month.

      1. It’s been cancelled in the US-won’t affect the series 9 is showing but they’re not going to bother with much effort promoting or sticking with it if ratings are poor.
