I think this is one of the best detective / forensic shows to-date... there's so much going on here in different levels in the series... the detective work, science forensic detail, the relationship between the characters and how it has evolved since its beginning, the romance between Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan and all the other subplots that go with it friends & family... blended very nicely altogether

Lots of crime shows are out there but what I love about Bones (n why I don't watch any of the others) is her cluelessness about the real world, it's absolutely hilarious n the line that Booth delivered during season 2, paraphrasing "they think they get away with it, but u make them pay" cuz her skills can solve thousand year old murders, so they are often solving murders that are weeks, months, years old, & a bonus. .. it's based on a real person, how cool is that!

Bones- the show that is your comfort food show. It is the sweetest and most beautiful show. Don't get me wrong, the corpses they show are beyond gross but that is not the focus-The focus of the show is Booth and Brennan, played beautifully to perfection by D. Boreanaz and E. Deschanel aka the people who invented chemistry. The 2 have smoking, sexy, passionate, hot chemistry yet have this goofiness that is so endearing. Chemistry is key but it's their connection that really rocks and sells it.
