    Boreanaz and Deschanel stir good chemistry as a crime-fighting duo.
  2. 60
    Deschanel exudes a luminous quality that elevates this grim, conventional show.

    Bones is a very poor cross between the X-Files and CSI with characters stolen from NCIS, plot devices from Veronica Mars, and topicality from Law & Order.

    The character dynamics hook audiences, the dark humor appeals, the cases are well-thought out, and the acting is superb on all aspects.

    Talented cast, great chemistry, fun dialogue, the inspiration of Reichs, the talents of Hanson, character driven as opposed to the usual procedural, and the Boreanaz charm and talent are all the reasons I won't miss an episode! Expand

  3. This show is a waste of time nothing about this is good and I really don't want to spend time critiquing this mess of a TV show the only thing good about this show is the extremely heavy use of gore and gory dead bodies which every time I see one I laugh so hard and when this show's gory dead bodies' is coupled with one of Bones' rare funny deadpan emotionless comments to a person's death and their gory dead bodies I laugh even harder. This show is not funny at all I just find the humor in this show's stupidity this show is so bad it's funny. The worst part of this show is how bad they use science in this show which is suppose to be the main course of the show but they show it and serve it like barf on a plate that makes this show even more of a disappointment/disaster.
