Why FOX broaght back Til Death for a 3rd season, I have no Idea! May be as bad of a move as NBC bringing back 30 Rock for a 3rd season.

Creatively, Til Death was stronger than ever at the end of last year. Back to You, while I thought it made major strides in the final eps, was the weaker comedy imo and expense in the long run can kill a show. Til Death was cheaper. Fox also apparently has made some behind the scenes changes for Til Death so who knows what will come of all of this. All I know is that Do Not Disturb will fail ultimately because its crap. Period.

If you want to cancel B2Y, fine, but Til Death Needed to go too. Its has NEVER gotten good ratings unless it followed AI. And even then it lost A LOT of AI's leadin

FOX seems to have proven that Bones works just about anywhere on the schedule. If memory serves, Thursdays and Sundays are the only night they haven't tried the show on.

Assuming that Prison Break isn't going to be back next year, why not Bones on Mondays again? 5th Grader seems to be doing well on Fridays. Why mess with a good thing?

Once AI is back on in January, you will initially lose 4 hours of programming that is currently on the air. BONES will need to find a new location, somewhere on the schedule until the Wed. edition of AI falls back to the 60/30 minute format in the spring.

I would not be shocked if BONES would end up on Thursdays at 8pm, in the Winter/Spring, since HitW looks to be a dud. Thats about the only "HOLE" FOX has right now.

Fringe's status is still up in the air, so in the event it gets canceled. FOX could possibly show their love for House and give it the post-Idol slot as usual and just have Bones vanish for a few weeks and reappear in it's fall Wednesday slot.

POSSIBILITY:
Mon - Dollhouse / 24
Tue - Idol: Performance / House
Wed - Bones / Idol: Results + Til Death or New Live Action Sitcom
Thur - Moment of Truth or other reality show / Kitchen Reality Show
Fri - 5th Grader / Lyrics
Sat - Cops / Most Wantd
Sun - Simpson + American Dad or New Cartoon / Family Guy + Cleavland Show

Is anybody else in favor of testing the waters and airing a repeat of Sarah Connor or Prison Break after a Bones repeat while FOX's schedule is erratic due to baseball?

But each Wednesday is preempted by baseball/debates until November. The only chance for a Bones repeat is if the World Series is short, and FOX scheduled back to back Bones for that night.
