Fall 2007 TV Tuesday: Bones
I strongly considered dropping Bones from my Tivo’s season pass list. I liked it last season, but didn’t love it. The eps were uneven, and the mysteries were often boring. What stood out was the ensemble cast, and that’s not necessarily enough to keep me aboard during a crowded fall TV season with a handful of promising new shows. But Entertainment Weekly had only good things to say, and the gals at Everybody Loves Saturday Night liked the premiere so much I knew I might have to give it another chance, and I’m glad I did. The season premiere was funny, icky, and engaging. So Bones remains on my season pass list, for now.
That last scene, though, with Brennan and Booth on a bench was seriously undermined by the painfully fake DC Mall backdrop.

yeah, I found that backdrop surprisingly fake looking also! considering they normally do a good job of looking like washington, i thought that was bizarre.

The second ep had a very fake DC background at one point, too. Why bother?
