Bones TV Series is a Fox TV series that created by Hart Hanson. On Bones TV Series, an FBI agent; Seeley Booth (David Boreanez), and a scientist, Temperance Brennan (Emily Daschanel), who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington D.C. as a forensic anthropoligist, work together to solve crimes involving bodies that are not easily identifiable due to the nature of the crime or time that has passed causing decay.
The Characters
Seeley Booth (played by David Boreaneaz) is an outgoing ex-jock with a son named Parker who is adorable. A loyal, soft-hearted, tall, dark and handsome Special Agent, Booth wears crazy socks, ties and belt buckles expressing his personality. When it comes to solving crimes, mostly murders on Bones TV Series, Booth is a very gung-ho, “Let’s go solve a crime” type of agent. Breaking the rules sometimes happens and, due to the consequences, he likes to avoid it unless absolutely necessary. Temperance Brennan (played by Emily Daschanel), nicknamed Bones, hence the title Bones TV Series, by Booth against her will, has a very mixed up family. Her parents left her and her brother, Russ, when Bones was only 16 so she was cared for by her brother for the next 2 years and then she was on her own. Bones found out that her mom had died during the Bones TV Series, when a Jane Doe came in possessing items that she knew belonged to her mother. Then she found out that her dad was still alive and was a con artist who began killing people who had a gripe against Bones, his daughter. As a multiple best-selling novelist on the side, Bones uses the people around her as inspiration for characters in her novels. Booth is helping Bones learn better social skills throughout Bones TV Series, so this would be a great show to watch with your young adult with Autism to help them visualize the problems and solutions to social situations. Of course there is sexual tension written into every episode of Bones TV Series as Bones and Booth struggle with feelings for each other that they don’t act upon because they don’t want to jeopardize their current relationship. “Don’t mess with a good thing” seems to be their mantra. There are so many more vital characters to Bones TV Series but, for the sake of time, we are only going to give you a short reference to them here. Angela Montenegro is Bones best friend and the sketch artist/computer expert. Jack Hodgins is married to Angela and is the bugs and slime guy. Cam, the boss of the Jeffersonian Institute, is the flesh expert, and there are also a lot of student interns that work in the Jeffersonian as a part of their schooling. Lance Sweets is the psychologist that works with them to analyze the suspects and has written a book about Booth and Brennan’s relationship both professional and personal.
Although it seems like it would be the same thing in each Bones TV Series episode, there are always new and interesting crimes each week. I also love to watch the Bones TV Series characters because they are unique in their thinking and I can identify with the way their minds work and the social awkwardness that comes due to that. The main reason I like to watch Bones TV Series though, although it is atypical, is to see what’s going to happen in the Booth-Brennan relationship.
