The ratings for Bones keep dropping lower each season. There’s also been talk that season 10 will likely be the show’s last. Will FOX cancel their long-running series or renew it for an 11th season instead. We’ll have to wait and see.
Bones revolves around a married couple who use their skills as an FBI agent (David Boreanaz) and a forensic anthropologist (Emily Deschanel) to solve difficult cases. The show’s cast also includes Michaela Conlin, TJ Thyne, Tamara Taylor, and John Francis Daley.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: FOX has renewed Bones for an 11th season.
Final season averages: 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.37 million total viewers.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Bones TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for an 11th season?
I think in today’s lifestyle judging a show’s success on daily airings is somewhat erroneous. My family and I don’t pay for cable so we have to wait for either Netflix or Hulu to update or have the show. Many people today have forgone regular TV in favor of different cheaper viewing ways that don’t calculate that specific time slot rating. Because of this many miss out on insteresting shows. I binged watch Bones so I could catch up to wherr the newest season left off because without having regular TV I had no idea what to watch. I had… Read more »
I think they should keep it on. They should never had marry the two of them.
It is a shame that Bones did season 11 but did not finish the last part of season 11

Even if the rating dropped it should increase
Because I watch the show on fox and every
time that it is on so please don’t cancel bones
or be foolish.
It does not seem. to me that sweets died
Doesn’t surprise me it lost it’s spark after Sweets died. Many fans stopped watching after that.
