6x02 ~ The Couple in the Cave - Ratings

Ratings.

[Only admins are allowed to see this link]

Moving to Fox, underrated Bones remained just that, with a solid (and second-place) 6.4/11 in the overnights at 8 p.m

So, ratings fell. I knew they would. And I don't really think you should consider this is right after the premier. This is a six year show. Numbers are way lower then they have been in the past. I hope hh realizes not everyone likes the soap opera this has become.

They did? according to the article that MI posted it says they are up 4% from last year , and even taking into account a loss from last week ( there is always a drop after the premiere last year was a much bigger one), The numbers are lower than they were at their peak last year, but still on par with what the average overall last year was. Bones is still a solid second for the time slot, it has more than twice the viewers as the third rated show.

Percent Change From the Year-Ago Evening (Thursday, October 1, 2009):
CW: +16, Fox: + 4, CBS: + 2, NBC: no change, ABC: -18

Don't faint, treble21 - I agree with you.

^^^ And Hart just tweeted that Bones' ratings dropped less this week than any of the other shows in it's time slot did.

I think it will take a continued path of dropping or low ratings for anyone (HH or Fox) to rethink or up their time table of what they have already planned.

I am still looking forward to what is happening on the show. I think the more and more we see Hanah, the more and more we see Brennan change. She might not have done that if she and Booth had just given in to a relationship last year. It may have been more awkward and then fans would be clammering about that. This way Brennan truly will realize what she feels she's lost and could have had. Not really knowing she's never lost Seeley, he's just on loan to someone else for a few episodes.
You can tell that in the way they talk and look at each other. The uncomfortable meter is ranking very high right now.

All i know is that Hart and Stephen are happy with the ratings with all of these other shows really losing viewers and a lot shows already being canceled they are doing great.

I would think they would be pleased considering 2 brand new shows, one "hightly touted" by the critics, Fox's Lonestar, was cancelled after 2 episodes. Another one on ABC, My Generation, which I believe airs opposite Bones, same thing. These days good ratings are just plain nice.

Ratings were down all over the board last night. I just wonder why. Things like that really interest me. Why....did millions of people just....tune out of the TV last night? I know sometimes sports games and such can account for that. But, there wasn't anything huge on. Is it just....a random occurrence? I bet there are people at the networks who do nothing but study this stuff.

That is a VERY interesting question...something new to ponder...(and I'm serious, I find stuff like that interesting. )

my serious opinion on this because I now know 3 people who this has happened to...Some people are trying to save money and they are getting rid of Cable and TV. TV in general this season has been kind of a up or down thing and I just don't wonder if that doesn't have anything to do with it.
Plus a lot of people are DVR-ing stuff now or watching Online, I know Season 5 I had to catch most of it on Hulu cause I almost always got stuck doing the closing thursday shifts.

The interesting thing with DVR - apparently if you watch it within three hours of air-time they somehow add it in. Don't know how - just noticed it on the chart.

I think they should add online stuff too cause I know tons of people that watch on Hulu or FOX.COM
