FOX's "House" and "Bones" were never in any jeopardy, but the network made things official on Friday (Feb. 16), renewing the popular dramas for the 2007-2008 series.

"Bones," which stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, has been picked up for a third season, while "House," featuring two-time Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie, will be back for a fourth run.

In addition to its slew of Emmy and Globe wins, "House" is the FOX's top-rated drama overall, and ranks at network TV's No. 3 scripted series among adults 18-49 and No. 2 among adults 18-34 and teens. The medical drama has averaged 17.4 million viewers, a number that has only soared higher thanks to an infusion of "American Idol" viewers.

The "American Idol" halo effect (but not a lead-in) has also benefited "Bones," which has averaged 8.8 million viewers for the season, but brought in 12.6 million earlier this week. "Bones" has averaged a 3.1 rating for the season in the key 18-49 demo, but this week's episode did a 4.4 rating.

"House" comes from NBC Universal TV, while "Bones" is an in-house 20th Century Fox TV production.
