Question: Do you have any insight into why Bones’ next season will be shortened? Really wish they would have made it to 250 episodes. — JD
Matt Roush: 245, if I’m doing the math right, is nothing to sneeze at. While the network and studio insist the various lawsuits (over profits) had nothing to do with considerations for Bones’ renewal, this situation reads to me like a way to give the show, and its fans, some necessary closure while drawing the curtain on an operation that had become prohibitively costly and problematic to keep in perpetual production. This still appears to be going out more smoothly than Castle did.
Question: Now that Paget Brewster’s series (Grandfathered) has been canceled, is there a chance she’ll come back to Criminal Minds? — No Name
Matt Roush: If the character isn’t dead, there’s always a chance. I wouldn’t be surprised if she makes an appearance every now and then if the story calls for it, but I’ve always been under the impression that Paget Brewster is more at home in the world of comedy so having her return full-time might be a longer shot. Besides, Adam Rodriguez (CSI: Miami) has just joined the cast for next season, though that’s more about filling the void left by Shemar Moore.
