No down-to-the-wire renewal for Bones this time — Fox has given an early eighth-season pickup to the procedural dramedy. “Over the past seven seasons, Hart Hanson, Stephen Nathan and the incredible Bones cast and crew have redefined the traditional crime procedural with an irreverent and adventurous sensibility and I’m really happy to have this distinctive, fan-favorite on our schedule for another season,” Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said. Bones returns to the schedule on a new night this coming Monday. While Fox has had hard-fought negotiations with Bones producer 20th Century Fox TV in the past, with House gone, Terra Nova cancelled and Alcatraz and The Finder unlikely to return, Fox moved in quickly this time to secure its strongest utility player.

I heard that the craft service on “Bones” is good. That’s always a good indicator that a show will be back. No budget cuts on the small stuff.
“BONES” is always good for atleast 10 million viewers an episode, I think it’ll be around for a few seasons more.
Hart Hanson is one of the nicest guys in show biz…sometimes the good guys do win…
You’re absolutely right–it’s great to see the good guys win! Congrats to everyone involved with the show!
Show biz really? Who do you think you are? I hope you didn’t put your real name because a lot people are verbally making rude comments. No offense added, you already think i am a real jerk but you sound like a real wanna bee. You are using the short words you see on Television, very smart. An interuption to my point is i have not met him but i am sure he is very sweet. Remeber i am Notta Hater a Truth Teller
LET’S hope it’s for a full, 22-episode season, unlike this years’s shortened one due to EMILY’S maternity leave. MORE ORIGINALS!
swell
Is that all you have to say, swell? Bones is an amazing show and that’s all you have to say, swell. From that comment I don’t know how you were ever smart enough to watch bones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fully believe that david and emily’s chemistry alone could keep Bones going for as long as they want to keep going. Love them and love Bones!
