    I thought I wouldn't be able to watch another crime drama displaying autopsies...I found a way to do it, I gave up NCIS, bored with the immature and rude characters it won't be missed. Bones however, is a huge step up. Emily D. and David B. are perfect in their roles!

    This show is absolutely fulfillin in every sense of the way. It is funny and witty, very informative and sensitive and the characters Booth and Brennan are awsome team together. I like the goriness and the whole story line! I love also the little crushes going on between booth and brennan. I think it has potential and iwish to see another series of Bones in the year to come.

    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!

    This is one of the best shows on TV - mostly because of the great presence of David Boreanaz, the good ensemble cast and increasingly the good stories. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

    I started watching it because of one of the stars in the show, David Boreanaz. But I soon realized the show was really good and I very much enjoy the chemistry between Booth & Brennan and the relationships between the characters. The cases are OK, but what really makes my enjoy Bones, asides from what I just mentioned is the characterization, since I already feel I know the characters.

    This show is phenominal. I enjoy the banter between the two main charecters : Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan, wow you can't act that kind of sexual tension

    The show is quite intriguing, fundamental with a touch of morbid humor thats definitely unorthodox. It is one of a kind. its a PERFECT 10! :)

    An engaging crime show that borrows plenty from the ''CSI" franchise but adds a layer of light character drama.

    Boreanaz and Deschanel stir good chemistry as a crime-fighting duo.

    The scientific setup may be intriguing... But the dialogue, including the contrived sexual tension between Temperance and Seeley, is strictly canned and cutesy.
