Bones

I flirt with this show, Bones. Maybe you know it. It's on Fox on a weeknight (I can't remember which one. That's what ye olde DVR is for.). Anywho, it stars David Boreanz of Angel fame and Emily Deschanel.

The show has got a great feel for a procedural. Ridiculous science, of course, but a sweet admiration for scientists. Strong characterizations, which may be due to the television series being based on a series of novels. The television series also has a sarcastic sense of humor without being nasty about it. The writers seem to actually like their audience, as opposed talking down to them.

So, why am I only flirting with Bones? Why not commit? Well, Bones is like that guy that both you and your parents want you to settle down with. It's great at first: he picks up the check at brunch; he buys you flower just because. But then, over the next few weeks you realize that's it. He doesn't get anymore interesting than this. He buys you flowers, but it's always the same set of flowers. He always orders the same thing at brunch.

Bones is like that guy. I'm not foreseeing any big surprises. But I keep hoping, and that's why I'll keep tuning in.
