Double Trouble/Fire in the ICE-RATINGS

Ratings for both eps here!

Here we are. Well, it seems all the reviews speak highly of the results. They all talk about massive Thursday improvement of FOX. As it must have been predicted, BONES had absolutely no problems at 8. pm. At 9. pm there was a lot tougher competition, and it seems lots of BONES viewers switched to other programs, but it's still looking good...considering BONES's timeslot is set at 8. pm. So...we are good!!

First, let me post an extract from tvbythenumber's Nielsen's ratings:

Fox’s Bones
moved to Thursday with two episodes last night, and while it swept the
8pm hour, against stronger competition at 9pm it finished a distant
fourth in the demos. Still, those results were a massive improvement
over the embarrassment that Fox has been going through on Thursday’s
this season.

I really think our beloved show did well. Go Bones!!

I'm impressed and I think that Bones will do great at its new timeslot (assuming that Fox doesn't go and change things around again!!!)

I second you, mama. FOX's entertainment director or what the heck his position has kind of promised Thursday as being a permanent day for BONES. All crossables crossed!!

Oh! Another rating article mentioning BONES in the title! BONES rocks!! TV Guide reports.Things are really looking good!!

Ratings: 'CSI' comes back to reality with Petersen gone

Jan 23, 2009, 03:46 PM | by Mandi Bierly

Predictably, CSI
fans were more interested in Grissom's last show than they were the
series' first episode without him. Though the veteran drama still won
the 9 p.m. hour, its 17.5 million viewers was a 28 percent decline from
[Only admins are allowed to see this link]. ABC's Grey's Anatomy saw an 8 percent increase week-to-week, averaging 14.3 million viewers, according to overnight data. Fox's Bones
made its debut in a new time slot, Thursdays at 8 p.m., and took the
hour with 10 million viewers. That's on par with the show's last
original airing in its old Wednesday at 8 p.m. slot (Thanksgiving eve),
but 9 percent below its season high in that time period. (A second new
episode of Bones only held on to 75 percent of that crowd at 9 p.m.) At 10 p.m., ABC's Private Practice hit a season high with 9.2 million viewers, but still finished second to CBS's Eleventh Hour (12.3 million).
