Bad news for fans of FOX's forensic drama Bones . No, before the letter-writing campaigns begin (complete with massive mountains of Paul Smith striped socks being sent to FOX executives, no doubt), the series hasn't been canceled... but fans of the drama, currently in its third season, will have to wait quite a while for new episodes. FOX has once again tweaked its midseason schedule and announced that, in addition to a berth on Friday evenings, Bones will pop up on the Monday night lineup at 8 pm, beginning in April. While the above is hardly reason for concern, it's the fact that FOX is pushing the remaining four produced episodes of Bones , which were meant to air during February sweeps, to April 28th. Which means that anyone waiting for another fix of Brennan and Booth is going to have to cool their heels for quite some time. It also means that FOX is dead serious about digging their heels in for the long term, preparing for the eventuality that the strike will not en

If there's one series that I view with the utmost respect and adoration it's the sadly short-lived Freaks & Geeks , though the series has certainly proven itself an adept hand at casting the next generation of talent actors, from Linda Cardellini and Jason Segel to James Franco, Busy Phillips, and Seth Rogen.

Daley plays Dr. Lance Sweets, a therapist assigned by the FBI to monitor the relationship between Temprance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Agent Seeley Booth (Da

A whole slew of casting notices on this chilly early morning in Los Angeles. John Francis Daley, best known for playing adorable moppet Sam on the still-much-missed Freaks and Geeks , has signed on in a recurring capacity on procedural drama Bones , where he'll play a therapist. (Really, has our little pygmy geek Sam grown up that much?) Daley most recently appeared in the comedy pilot The Call and FOX's short-lived Kitchen Confidential . Elsewhere, Cherry Jones has landed herself a husband on 24 : Colm Feore ( Slings and Arrows ) will play the First Husband. (Wonder if that means that early plans to give the series' first female president both a husband and a child living at the White House will prove to still be valid.) Flipping channels over to ABC, Season Four of Lost has gained three new actors. Rebecca Mader ( Justice ), Jeremy Davies ( Band of Brothers ), and Lance Reddick (HBO's The Wire ) have joined the cast of the drama series, which returns in February 200
