I can't agree with you here, though I'll say that kill probably isn't the right word to use here for Bones.

What I meant was that with Bones on Monday, Fox had two shows consistently above 2.0 in Bones and SH. Almost Human is already lower than Bones, and this is only the third episode. That's an issue.

As for Sleepy Hollow, these are the ratings after the break: 2.5, 2.6 (w/ Bones), 2.5 last week (Almost Human double premiere), and now 2.2. That's 3 weeks with a fair amount of stability before the crash. I honestly don't think it goes that low with a consistent lead-in like Bones.

In any case Sleepy Hollow has already been renewed, so I guess it's ratings don't matter quite as much for now. But it will be interesting to see what happens with Almost Human. If the ratings fall further below 2.0 next week I wouldn't be shocked to see Bones back on Monday. DWTS is ending so that's one competitor down at least.

Off topic, but Blacklist has excellent retention. This is no Revolution.

Moving Bones was necessary to try something new with a chance of being successful. Bones has proven it works almost anywhere on the schedule and is a self starter, requiring no lead in. I think they made the right choice and AH would be doing worse (than it is now) anywhere else on the schedule. Bones should have gone to Thursdays at 9 and Glee to Fridays.

Almost Human still hasn't proved it self yet (and its 18-34 demos are even more troubling), but Sleepy Hollow is down also. It premiered to 10.10 million and a 3.5 and is now at 6.56 million (-35%) and a 2.2 (-37%). Sleepy Hollow itself has to be blamed for some of the drop (obviously, with a new show). But like you said it's renewed so FOX really has to worry about the hold over from S1-S2 without any new episodes airing March-Sept (most likely) and can it stay a solid performer. I think FOX will stick with Almost Human until The Following premieres. They really want to establish their Monday block as a Male viewer night. And I think Bones will remain on Fridays until they see how Rake does out of American Idol on Thursdays. If that bombs, Bones can slide in easily

And yeah The Blacklist's retention is very commendable, especially for a 10PM show in these days:
74.51%
70.21%
67.39%
66.67%
69.77%
72.09%
80.56%
78.95%
88.24%
At this point with Revolution in November, retention was 60%-70%
(sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, I started writing it, got hungry and made dinner then finished typing this haha)

I can agree with everything here with only one minor correction...Sleepy Hollow has a cable-length season, so it will actually end in January, not March. There are only 4 episodes left. My guess is that FOX will heavily promote it via Hulu/Netflix and hope it displays S1-S2 growth like, say, Scandal.

It will be interesting to see how The Blacklist does without The Voice but with how well it's retaining viewers now, I can see it being consistently in the mid-high 2s. NBC has to be thrilled.

And they're daring to do another episode on Thanksgiving tonight... series low under 4mil here we come.

So happy they're moving to Tuesdays, I think they'll get a slight boost from it.

Seriously, what happened to the X-Factor? I'd say people are tired of competitive reality TV shows but The Voice is doing phenomenally.

Against NCIS, The Voice (unless NBC changes its midseason plans which isn't a far stretch) and SHIELD... nope it's not gonna lol

It didn't click. Three times lol. Without the Blind Auditions/Knockout rounds The Voice wouldn't be as strong. The numbers drop during live shows week to week until the finale
