Why did you move Bones to Mondays? That is my favorite show. I've been waiting a long time for it to come back on and now in missing it. I can't watch it on Mondays. I'm so mad about that. You have really ruined it for me. I haven't had a chance to see baby girl be born. At least make it free to watch online episodes without having to subscribe to anything. Ugh, I'm so frustrated because I want to see it.
Bring it back to Thursdays!

Does anyone else know that in my country Touch will air on March 20th making it the world premiere?

They moved it because Keifer is the bigger star. His show about touching isn't getting ratings because it's not very good, so he bitched to the network and the FOX execs jumped. That's the way it happened. I was there.

Is Fox insane?!?!? I had a perfect little schedule worked out, all my tv shows fit into it! Now I have to chose between Castle and Bones, which majorly sucks! They are going to loose slot of viewers!! :(

Fox sucks big time!! Fox can mess with any show it wants but not my Bones or my Glee!!!!

Really?
Well, sorry to Bones, but I won't be able to watch it anymore. Why would the network do such a thing, are they not business savy?
Monday night schedule for me = How I met your mother, 2 Broke Girls, Two and a Half men, Mike & Molly and then Castle. I don't have time for Bones too! And there's no way I am missing CASTLE!

Why move Bones to Monday? Hello that's a stupid move Fox!

BONES will definitely lose out, because I'm not giving up on Castle and Hawaii 5-O.

This is bad. This is very bad. How is a girl like me who loves Bones AND Castle supposed to deal with having both shows on at the same time?! Not to mention Alcatraz. Yikes - my DVR is going to be busy!
