FOX Makes No Bones About An Eighth Season Renewal

By -

The last few years, the fate of whether Bones would get picked up for another season has been coming down to the wire. The last few renewals have come at or near the May deadline for network upfront presentations of their new fall lineups, but this year, fans of the saga of Bones, Booth, and the rest of the squints can breathe an early sigh of relief. EW.com reports that FOX has given the series an early pick up for an eighth round. This order will see the long-running procedural dramedy hit the 150 episode mark.

Kevin Reilly, President of FOX Entertainment, had this to say regarding the announcement: "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."

It's not hard to see why FOX jumped on these Bones faster than usual this year. The network has had an unusually unsuccessful lineup of new series this season, with Terra Nova, I Hate My Teenage Daughter, and Allen Gregory already canceled, House ending, Alcatraz, Breaking In, Napoleon Dynamite, and Bones spinoff The Finder all pretty clearly headed to the graveyard, and Fringe hanging on for dear life. The way things are looking, FOX is going to have a dearth of established returning programs next season, it's not surprising that they would be in a hurry to lock in one of their few scripted dramas that actually gets good ratings.

Are you pleased that Bones will return? Or should it have quit while it was ahead?

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.
