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.

Bones is an excellent mystery and great written
and great characters I like the show
You’re basing your demographics on 18-49 ONLY. What, 50 & over don’t count? I LOVE the show. Seniors spend more time watching TV then any age group & every show I LOVED gets cancelled! Some don’t even make it the first year. One station had a series called SAVE ME. It was hilarious; and I hoped the title alone would save it, but after 7 episodes it was gone! 18+ don’t want to watch a show that hints at anything to do with religion, but that show took it to a new level.

great cast so renew the show.
Please continue to have Bones on the air. Chemistry, humor, the real relationships between the cast all woven together. It works!
I LOVE BONES! I have watched the show from season one. And when I missed a season I watched it on Netflix. I would hate to see this show go. Very few shows come on that I like and this is one of the best! I also enjoyed Finder.
Please do not end Bones. I love this show and DVR every new episode. I have been watching this show since the very 1st episode. My husband and I watch the show together after the little ones are in bed. It is like a little mini date night for us and we would hate to see it end. I personally think it is one of the best shows out there. So many shows are filled with sumt it is nice to have a show that has always stuck to the purpose from day one.
I vote yes to keep Bones on air.
I love the show ease keep the show going I am a senior and don’t have cable and this show is really important to me .I do not like all the so called new Shows!!!!!

Please do NOT cancel Bones! I love this show

Bones is an excellent mystery, well written, great characters (and actors who portray them). It will be terribly missed by our household if it were to be cancelled.
