Bones Season 6 on Living TV (No Spoilers)

Since it has switched channels, here's a new thread for Bones on Living TV.

However it's "good news, bad news": Bones Season 6 starts on Living TV (and Living TV HD) on Wednesday 5th January at 9:00PM. The bad news is that they seem to be starting the season again with episode 1...

What I don't know is when Bones restarts in the US and when they have a mid-season break, so this may just mean that we don't get a gap when the US does later on?

    I think it's the 20th of Jan so in effect it's a trade off between delaying the last 10 eps for SKY1 viewers moving over against introducing the show to Living viewers who may see it as "new". I would assume it's a straight run through from the 5th on Living.

    Living TV is a Sky Channel.

    Well, it is now; which would explain the OP's confusion as he obviously didn't know that ;)

    Living starting season six again only makes the handful of season six episodes that were shown on Sky 1 seem even more pointless.

    Just a reminder for anyone who missed the first few episodes on Sky that Season 6 of Bones restarts on Living tonight at 9PM

    According to my EPG Bones is not being shown in native HD on Living TV HD. On the EPG it is in white text (SD) rather than orange (HD). What's all that about?

    I watched the episodes when they were shown on Sky One and I'm pretty sure Zack isn't in any of them :confused:

    He was in an episode of season 4 but it was part of Booths dream

    There may be quite a few people that did not watch the beginning of the sixth season especially those on VM maybe due to a boycott or lack of HD so with only a few eps shown why not restart from the beginning.
    Those that watched it on SKY1 only have to wait a few extra weeks for new eps and those new to this season don't lose out.

    If Bones was going outside of the SKY family then starting from season 1 would be the order of the day but that simply isn't practical or a good use of the investment in programming.

    i think you are getting him confused with a new character called sweets, who has been in it for a couple of series now.

    i recorded it but as i have seen before just deleted it.

    Either that or it's a US paced spoiler (I hope not).

    LivingTV is now part of Sky, so it has just switched from one Sky channel to another. Sky seem to have decided that Bones fits the LivingTV demographic, although I'm not convinced as the only other show I have ever watched on Living is The Amazing Race (which evidently failed miserably since they dropped it).

    I noticed that the living version of Wednesdays episode has at least one cut made to it. Spoilered just in case
    When they are examining the bodies at the lab and start taking about Booths and Bones relationship, Clark says he was assured a more professional working environment( or something to that effect ), the rest carry on taking and then Clark says they were attracted to each other or something like that then says OMG I am so sorry.

    I am sure in the original Sky broadcast Clark also says something like they should just get butt naked and start doing it like rabbits. That bit was cut.

    There's at least one other cut in the first ep
    when Booth shoots one of the two kidnappers in Afghanistan. You see both of them walking down the street with the kid, and then nothing.
    I've just watched the 3rd ep from last week and the whole discovery of this week's body has been cut at the very beginning of the ep.

    Not sure I'll bother watching anymore if Living is going to let some trainee hack the eps to pieces just so they can squeeze in yet another unwanted ad/trailer. Also, I don't like the way Living pops up VERY obvious panels on the screen advertising the following program usually just at the climax of the program you're watching - very distracting! Shame on you Living! :mad:

    Edit: Just checked on the Sky Player, and the missing bit was there at the beginning of Ep3! :confused:

    Just compared the first few minutes of Ep2 on Living and when it was shown on Sky 1 before Christmas, and Living have hacked out a whole chunk of Bones' description of the deceased which, IIRC, is relevant to the eventual solving of the case.

    If Living doesn't think the show is suitable for it's channel then it shouldn't show it, and if they think it's not suitable for that timeslot then don't show it in that timeslot, don't just hack it to pieces. REALLY not impressed, Living! I'm now wondering what other series on Living are being hacked to pieces? Is this why Criminal Minds just isn't working for me? Has someone at Living cut out all the bits that might've made me believe that this a proper team who have been working together on some pretty harrowing cases for a number of years, and not just a bunch of people who get together for a few months each year, and who don't even socialise with each other after work?

    Ive not been rewatching the first few episodes on Living as I was waiting for the new episodes to start up but having read that you say there are bits being cut from the episodes maybe I wont bother watching them on Living after all. Why would they need to cut scenes when the show is being aired after 9pm? :confused:

    Im already pissed off with Living for not announcing when Supernatural is returning & now Im reading this Im even more annoyed with them :mad:

    Couldn't agree more. However, since Living is now owned and controlled by Sky, I suppose the question should be why the same people who felt it was OK for Sky1 feel that moving it to the new channel suddenly makes it too shocking for the same people who've been watching the bloody thing for 5 years to view uncut. Unless of course the violent imagery and graphic descriptions of dead bodies doesn't fit in with the demographic that the Powers That Be believe should be watching the show. Which, being Living, is females in their 20s - 30s isn't it? Can't remember exactly but I do remember reading somewhere that the programming on Living was more female oriented.

    Maybe once it gets its offical rebrand to Sky Living we'll get a nice surprise of uncut episodes and HD back....?
