It's moderately entertaining, but the characters are specialists, which determines the kind of crimes they can handle. Kinda boring. The writing is a little self-conscious. The weirdest thing is how the background characters tend to comment on how hot the Bones lady is. And she's not ugly, but...she ain't a model or anything. It's a bit forced, kinda awkward. Then again, there are folks that think Paris Hilton is attractive...so anything's possible. Also, it gets on my nerves when CSI type departments use tech that doesn't exist. Like Bones's holographic multilayer STAR WARS type display for studying scanned corpses. RIGHT. Re: Bones?hmmm does seem dumm. no worries plenty of other good shows out dere Re: Bones?If I may jump to the show's deffence... Yeah the tech stuff is a bit far fetched, but it's fun. Enjoying the show really means getting to know the characters, then you get a lot more out of it than the science stuff, and there are some quite moving story lines. I read some of the original books by Kathy Reichs, which are so true to life in parts, that I had to stop reading for a while... the subject matter hit a nerve. I'd suggets watching a couple and make your own judgement. There's a bit of a comedy element too! Re: Bones?i love watching bones...its light ad entertaining... 7 2007-02-21 13:17:33 (edited by theConundrumm 2007-02-22 09:56:05)Re: Bones?i watched the first season in a matter of days, and at first the characters were entertaining, but after seeing the same 'cute ineptitude' from the main character for the hundredth time,, it got a bit old... very quickly... you couldn't force me to watch it now... and don't even get me started on that hologramy thing... ugh i'm going to eat your brains and gain your memories...
Re: Bones?I watched a couple of episodes and hated it. Actually hated is a little strong, but let's just say I was extremely bored and occasionally annoyed by what I think is an extremely generic show, that has very paint by numbers plotting and typical paper thin, and poorly implemented, 'quirky' charachterizations. That said, you still should check it out for yourself, other people's opinions just tell you what their tastes are, it never helps you to definie your own. Make up your own mind. It's always best that way. Every breath you take, every move you make...I'll be watching you. That's police talk.
Re: Bones?Wow, not a lot of love for Bones here. I've been watching it from the beginning, and I think it's fantastic. It's one of my favorite current shows, besides Heroes. I love the characters and how they interact. They're hilarious, especially when Booth and Brennan are arguing about things like religion. Re: Bones?Cannot agree more with O-Deka-K. Just love it The only thing that bugs me is that its not airing until april 28th :S Wtf is that !?!?! O Plaxico, Where art thou?

Re: Bones?I enjoy Bones but yeah like CSI the tech is abit overboard not nearly as bad in my oppinion tho. Re: Bones?theConundrumm wrote:
on th flip side, if they were to base everything on the real workings of a lab, i'm sure the the viewer numbers would slope of drastically. IMO having some of the exaggerated storytelling mkes it all the better. Who watches tv to see beleivable tings?? If so watch a documentry or 'reality tv'. TV is meant to be something to get away from the real world. if only for 40 minutes. Re: Bones?I enjoy Bones, said to be based (loosely) on a real person.
