Bones Moving to a New Day and Timeslot

Cool. So we get to see how it performs against Lost and VM at 9, then it retreats to the safety of 8 o'clock. I like that move. I'll miss an episode or 2, then it will beef up my Wednesday night.

On the growing popularity of Veronica Mars the Futon Critic said this -

· BENEFITING FROM ITS "TOP MODEL" LEAD-IN, ESPECIALLY IN VIEWERS AND UPN'S TARGET DEMOS, "VERONICA MARS" CONTINUES TO OUT-PERFORM LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS ON TUESDAY. VERSUS THE FINAL "VERONICA" OF THE NOV. 2004 SWEEP, LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE WAS UP:
+17% IN ADULTS 18-34 (1.4/4)
+18% IN WOMEN 18-34 (2.0/5)
+30% IN VIEWERS (3.0MIL)

Also, I'm not sure about the exact details of this, but as I recall UPN's parent company (I think it's Universal) also runs one of the bigger networks (I forget which one). They ran Veronica Mars on that major network during the summer, and as I recall it got an 11 share (either that or viewed by 11 million) which as I understand it is really good for a rerun of a series that was on the bubble at UPN the previous season.

VM was on CBS this summer for a couple of episodes and did fairly well.

Wait a minute...isn't "LOST" in that same timeslot for Wednesdays? Why would FOX put "Bones" in direct competition against a powerhouse like "LOST"? I love "Bones", but LOST is gonna kill it.

Another boneheaded move by FOX.

That's wack. Luckily, I'll still be able to watch it in it's new timeslot. It'll probably end up getting cancelled though which is a pity because it's a good crime show.
