Those ones is incorrect. It should be just "Those". You are not the only one to be driven mad by the bad grammar. >:(

"Those" is already plural and indicative of which ones, so "those ones" is repetitive and redundant.
Don't learn to speak from people on TV, they also say "prop'ly" and "nuke-you-lure." Anyone who looks at the word can see that it's nu-clear. Not hard.

When I was a t school 'those Ines' was 'common' and uneducated.
Just goes to show how fast TV standards are sinking

No such thing as those ones - those already refers to a plural object, so you don't have to include 'ones' after 'those'

No sign of "ones", you shouldn't put it there.

Those. You should not put ones there as it is unnecessary to state it twice.

Just use "those". "Ones" is not necessary and sounds awkward with "those".

Please do not use television as a source of proper English. "Those" is fine. "Those ones" is iffy.
