Bones Television Series

The Bones television series was one of a kind crime drama that showed how forensic pathology played a very important role in solving crime when all that remained to investigate was the human remains! Bones as a series surely was one that was easy going yet bringing out some really crude truth that exists out there. This particular series was also a definite eye opener as it gave a completely new perspective to crime solving.



If there was one thing that I had learnt from Bones television series, I did learn that it was not enough to think out of the box but actually think like there was no box, for the simple fact that without a box, you get to look at things from a lot of other perspectives.



Being a brain child of Hart Hanson, this particular series is based on the life and works of Kathy Reich; a forensic anthropologist and crime writer who has had many novels published in her name.



The very first season of Bones premiered on the Fox Network on the September 13, 2005. From the beginning till the end the lead characters Dr. Temperence Bones Brennan and Seeley Booth, the Special Agent of the FBI were played by Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. The first episode started with the FBI agent and the doctor coming together to work out a particular crime that seemed ritualistic. All that they had, was a set of bones of the deceased which had to be used as clues.



With time and with more episodes being piped down the network, the Bones television series actually got a lot more interesting. In a manner of speaking, I actually looked forward to each and every episode and was at the edge of my seat when I, along with Bones, was on the trail of the actual killer - just like agent Booth! With each episode, I actually wanted to see if my detective skills have gotten any better. Thanks to this television series, I can now say, yes it has!



The Bones television series was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Awards and also the Satellite Awards in 2006. Apart from these two nominations, Bones has won two Genesis Awards, one for the episode The Woman In Limbo and the second for the episode The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken. The Finger in the Nest was one other episode that was nominated for the same award.



Since 2005, these uniquely new and refreshing crime fighters have been fighting crime in a different fashion and have been successful in doing just that, till this very date. Though the initial episodes characterized Dr. Bones Brennan as a woman who lacks all basic human emotions and that Dr. Brennan is only capable of taking action based on rationalization, with time and with more episodes being aired we came across agent booth actually breaking the ice queen demeanor of the doctor and remarkably succeeding in bringing out her emotions!



Fans like myself can only hope to enjoy the ride for many more seasons! Go Bones
