Feature: No Bones About It

Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth aren't your average police partners, but then again Bones is not the average crime procedural. The gender swapping stereotypes in the show delighted audiences from the very first episode, with Brennan often being the cold, rational, scientific genius and Booth the emotional, compassionate, religious FBI agent. The show takes more place in the lab than in the field with the Squint Squad solving crimes by looking at bloody corpses and managing to keep their lunch down. If only we fans could say the same. Join the Bones reviews every week as we analyze the gruesome, the mundane, the romance, and ask when exactly those two crazy kids are going to jump in bed already. We meant Angela and Sweets, who did you think we were talking about? With an affectionate critical eye, these reviews will tear apart the good, the bad, and the ugly of Bones. Grab your identity card and swipe into the Jeffersonian crime labs for Fox's best dramedy!
