David Boreanaz - "Bones" Tv Series - More Ratings For The Series Premiere

Thursday 15 September 2005, by Webmaster

Fox roared to the winning finish line last night, with the series-premiere of drama Bones at an 8.4/13 in the overnights, 10.48 million viewers and a 3.8/11 among adults 18-49 from 8-9 p.m., followed by the second-season opener of House at a whopping 12.2/18 in the overnights, 15.7 million viewers and a 5.7/15 among adults 18-49 at 9 p.m. Bones was the highest rated Tuesday drama premiere on Fox since 24 on Nov. 6, 2001, while House increased on last year’s premiere (Nov. 16, 2004) by 8.6 million viewers (7.1 million to 15.7 million), and 111 percent among adults 18-49 (2.7/ 6 to 5.7/15). By launching its fall line-up early this season, Fox has proven there is much more to the network than just American Idol in the first and second quarters.

  • When will FOX learn?? Those high ratings were mostly due to fans of Angel who tuned in—not to the quality of ’Bones’. The show was, to me at least, uninteresting, and unless it improves, I think there will be a decline in ratings over the next few weeks.
  • Dear Anonymous, you are wrong! The second episode was better than the first. And I am sure it will keep getting better. Emily and David are excellent in their respective characterizations. And so far the plot line is okay. I don’t see it waning in the near future. It’s audience will expand.
