It's Possible that "Bones" WON'T be Back Next Season! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just days before Fox was set to hold its Monday afternoon upfront meeting in New York, the net still didn't have a deal in place to bring back "Bones" -- despite the fact that it's from sister 20th Century Fox TV and that the show has helped turn the Thursday night lights back on at the network.

"Bones" is about to enter its fifth season, which usually reps the moment a show's license fee skyrockets as the studio looks to recoup its initial investment. And in this economic climate, the networks are looking to limit those big cost jumps as much as possible.

They're stupid if they don't bring it back. Fox has never given Bones any respect. Every year they are threatened with a move to Friday. I did notice that on the season finale during the ending credits, the announcer did say look for all new episodes of Bones this September. Of course it wouldn't be the first time that Fox has lied.
