Boreanaz disappointed over 'Bones' move
Bones star David Boreanaz has admitted that he was disappointed to learn that the show was being moved to a new night by Fox executives.

While the police drama previously went out on Tuesday nights as a lead-in to House, the new fourth season is airing on Wednesdays to make way for J.J. Abrams's new sci-fi series Fringe.

'''Let's pimp Fringe, which makes no sense, about some disease that's taken over an airplane!' 'Cause that's unique. Nothing against you, J.J., because I love you and I'd love to work with you someday. But I'm not gonna put the foaming Alka-Seltzer tablet in my mouth and shake the camera," Boreanaz told Entertainment Weekly.

He added: ''They should've just kept us with House. That was a great combination. Now, we're the lead-in to 'Til Death. God, what a mess. But they have to spread us out because they have to develop new shows, I get it.''

The former Buffy and Angel actor also revealed that he is unimpressed by NBC's Heroes and plans for a new series of Knight Rider, which will go out against Bones later this month.

Asked to name the most overrated show on TV, he said: "Heroes. We were doin' that in '97 with Buffy. I love all the people on Heroes, I know all the actors, but I think it's overrated. I personally don't get it. Should I go down my list of overrated shows that are coming out? Knight Rider, please, don't give it a chance. Who cares about a car that can talk? I did - in the '80s."
