FOX to Bring Bones and Family Guy Together
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Gossip, Spoilers,
In what could be one of the strangest cross-promotions FOX has ever tried (ponder the weight of that statement a moment), the night time drama Bones will soon feature an animated character from the ribald comedy Family Guy. That’s right, FOX fans: David Boreanaz and Stewie Griffin will soon share screen time.
Evidently, Boreanaz’s character will suffer hallucination-generating health problems during episodes of Bones which will air in May. He’ll end up in Quahog, Rhode Island, home to the animated Griffin family. “This is going to sound odd,” began executive producer Stephen Nathan, “but it is a completely believable event.”
He’s right…that does sound odd. And extremely, wholly unlikely.

George Clooney might be able to schedule meetings with high-ranking politicians, but he can’t save a whole network. Even though ER saw its best audience in two years, NBC only tied for third in the demos and placed fourth with the viewers last night. (The winner in both categories was CBS.)

- Survivor: Tocantins (12.9 million, 4.1/12 in 18-49) rounded up 900,000 more.

- Smallville (3.7 million, 1.6/5) added on 1.5 million.

Wednesday Ratings: Pushing Daisies Clinging to Life
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, House, Ratings,
As hard as it is for me to admit, it looks like my darling Pushing Daisies will soon be pushed out the door. Despite an Obama bump for its last outing, the show couldn’t maintain the audience. Yesterday’s episode even performed lower than the last unassisted show. CBS had a good evening though. Season high numbers for the two comedies gave the network wins in both categories last night.
8pm
- Bones (10.7 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) easily won its hour.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (2.5/7) and Gary Unmarried (2.7/7) both attracted 8.1 million.
- Knight Rider (5.1 million, 1.5/4) lost 200,000.
- Pushing Daisies (4.9 million, 1.7/5) was off 1.9 million from the last episode.
- The finale of America’s Next Top Model (4.8 million, 2.3/6) had it’s best audience in about a year.
