'Bones', 'War' earn full season orders

FOX has given full, 22-episode season orders to another two freshman series.

The first is forensic drama Bones, which has managed a solid 8.7 million viewers through its Tuesday night pairing with House.

"Bones is a good formula for us," said Craig Erwich, evp at Fox. "The show has delivered on what we asked it to do."

Also picked up for an extra nine is comedy The War At Home, having averaged 8.4 million and a 4.1 rating in Adults 18-49.

"It's a strong point-of-view family show, which is part of the bread and butter of what we do," added Erwich. "The funny ones don't come around too often, and this is one of the good ones."

Meanwhile, CBS has greenlit a seventh season of Big Brother for transmission next summer.
