A taut series filled with drama as well as great chemistry between its two lead stars, Bones is a strong addition to Fox's television lineup. Debuting in 2005 to favorable critical reviews, the series shares an audience of fans with the CSI franchise. Smartly written and well-acted, the first season of Bones focuses on the collaborations between FBI special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), whom Booth somewhat sarcastically nicknames "Bones." Each of the 22 episodes follows a premise well-known to regular viewers of crime dramas--a murder has been committed and a body found. The team's job is to figure out who the victim is, how he or she was killed, and how it was done; that part doesn't differ from other shows on television. What sets the show apart is the humor injected into the episodes (Boreanaz is particularly good at delivering wry lines). There's some wicked humor in the episode focusing on Brennan's attempts at dating, which is nicely offset by the horrific crimes she has to deal with. And for a show with such attractive leads, Bones doesn't make a huge point of dwelling on any possible attraction between the pair. Rather, it takes advantage of their playful bantering, which is more akin to that of bickering siblings than repressed lovers--for this season, anyhow. The series is inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs (who stars in one of the featurettes on the four-disc set). In a nice play on art imitating reality, Kathy Reichs also is the name of the heroine in the murder mysteries that Dr. Brennan writes on the side. By the end of the season, viewers will learn enough about the characters to care, but not enough to completely understand why they are the way they are. That is an ongoing mystery. --Jae-Ha Kim

Customer Reviews

Keep rollin' BONES!!!
The book series got me interested in watching the TV show. Even though it is different, I am so glad I decided to watch!

I rented the first season, and now I'm officially addicted! I definitely want to own this series. I absolutely love and can't get enough of it! It just sucked me in - the science, the murders, the mysteries, the chemistry between Boreanaz and Deschanel. It's all so good!!! I'm in the middle of season two now, and it just keeps getting better with every episode!! I hope this show stays on the air for many more seasons!

Bones TV Series, Year 1
Brilliant writing and acting make this one of the greatest TV series EVER! The DVD is excellent except for the awkward way you get from one program to the next. Seller's prompt delivery was a plus as well. Rating: AAAAA+++++.

Even better the 2nd and 3rd time around
I've been an avid fan of David Boreanaz ever since he stepped scene on Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.

I was roughly 16 and was happy to see his career blossom onto Angel for 5 seasons.

When Angel was unfortunately axed, rumor began shortly after that he was going to be on a show on Fox about forensics.

CSI was pretty popular at the time and I thought "Not another knockoff". I tried watching it for pure support of him but found I could not get into the show.

A couple years later, I watched the first few disc of Season 1 and found myself completely engrossed in the characters.

I love the way the show has grown in the 3 years it's been on (going into 4 this fall) as well as the way the stories have gotten more complex yet humorous.

When you follow an actor or character, you always hope to see something familiar yet something new.

I think this show's kept it fresh and if you enjoy more storyline than "who did it?"; this will be a show for you!
