'Rizzoli & Isles' Returns in November

Yet another reason to be excited about November!

Not only is 'Bones' returning November 3rd, but TNT has just announced that new episodes of 'Rizzoli & Isles' will start airing new episodes on Monday, November 28th at 10 pm. There will be 5 consecutive episodes, which will technically conclude Season 2.

This is excellent news, since normally 'Rizzoli & Isles' is only a summer show.

Right now (according to TNT) the show is averaging about 8.8 million viewers an episode. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain their viewer base in the fall, when they will be competing against a wider range of popular shows.

Also, I'm not quite clear about how Thanksgiving time hiatus will factor in with 'Bones' and other hit shows, so perhaps the fact that the first November episode of 'Rizzoli & Isles' is right after Thanksgiving is an ingenious move.
