Obviously I'm the only one who's head over heels over Bones, a Fox network TV series about a socially inept yet intelligent forensic anthropologist who works with the FBI Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschaniel) and her "normal" alpha male partner Special Agent Seeley Joseph Booth (David Boreanaz). The series is based on the life of real-life forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs. The show was created by Hart Hanson and produced by Kathy Reichs.
Dr. Brennan who Booth fondly calls as "Bones" (otherwise known as Joy Kennan before her parents got into witness protection program) works at the Jeffersonian Institute (which is very much like the Smithsonian Institute in real life) , a museum and learning institution. The Institution is working with the FBI on some of cold cases by examining the skeletal remains of victims.
Enough about the show. If you want the whole cast members and the whole story I suggest that you buy the whole season 1 to 6 DVD. It's worth idling really. I am honestly hooked on TV for the entire duration of my 7-day rest not because they have interesting cases to solve just like in CSI (which I refused to watch after William Petersen's character - Gil Grissom and Jorja Fox's - Sarah Sidle were replaced by Laurence Fishburn's character which made the show looked like The Matrix...he's still Morpheus to me) but because of Dr. Brennan and the Squint Squad's intelligent humor. The Squint Squad, by the way, is comprised of: forensic artist and Brennan's best friend Angela Montenegro who designed a three-dimensional holographic program (known as Angelator) used in facial reconstruction as opposed to the usual cartographic sketch, Dr. Brennan's assistant and grad student whose IQ (in episode 11) was said to be more than 163 Zachary Addy, and an entomologist whose family is one of the sponsors of the Jeffersonian Institute and who fell in love and eventually married Angela.
I'm not usually into this whole TV series thing except for CSI maybe and Wire in the Blood (this is more of a psychology drama) but Dr. Brennan's social inadequacy reminds me of my own, a very good reason to identify with the main character which turned out to be a good excuse to get hooked on the show.
Watch and you'll know why I like her and Booth together. You might find yourself amused by the Squint Squad's meeting of the minds.
