'Bones' is back! The show's eighth season is premiering tonight on FOX at 8/7 C.
FOX's decision to have it's shows return a week earlier than most other networks may be one of their smartest moves yet. Monday nights are going to be a tough crowd this year...'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Dancing with the Stars' will be 'Bones' main competition in the same time-slot.
'Castle', a show which attracts the same type as viewers as 'Bones', had a strong season last year. Arguably last season was one of 'Bones' weakest. There was a combination of:

"HIMYM": Symphony of Illumination Summary
I feel like this entire episode built my hopes up only to rip my heart
out. First, 'Rebound Girl' gave us hope that Robin and Barney might get
back together, or at the very least that Barney might be the baby's
father. After which we discovered that if Robin is pregnant
Barney is definitely the baby's father. Plus, we learn via apparent
flash-forward that even if Robin is not pregnant now, she and Barney
have not one, but two children someday. At which point we unfortunately
reach the downward spiral half of the episode. We learn that Robin is
not pregnant. She and Barney show no signs of getting back together. And
if that isn't bad enough we get to watch Robin being told that she can
never have a baby. She tells no one, so we watch her suffer alone. We
still hold onto the hope that she has children someday with Barney,
because we have seen the flash-forward scenes. But no, finally, at the
end of the episode we discover that all of the flash-forward scenes are
figments of present day Robin's imagination. And not only that, we hear
from future Ted's voiceover that Robin never has children. So,
basically, this episode initially gave us a future with a happy Robin
and Barney with two children, and then snatched it all back and left us exactly where we were before. Robin is with Kevin, and Barney is single (for now).
The other side-story, which involved Marshall and Lily, really wasn't much better. It certainly wasn't less depressing. Unless you think that a cruel teenage boy trapping Marshall on a roof and trashing the new Long Island house is funny. Or that pregnant Lily repeatedly talking about all the gross side-effects of pregnancy (while a depressed Robin hovered nearby) is funny. Yeah, me either.
Did you like the episode? Persuade me that I'm wrong!

"HIMYM": Who is the Father of Robin's Baby?
minor spoilers
Who's the father of Robin's baby? And what's the bad thing that's happening to her that "How I Met Your Mother" co-creator Craig Thomas dropped hints about? I know the answer to at least one of those questions, and I'll speculate on the other.
Craig Thomas (co-creator of "HIMYM") has dropped hints about the episode, including the fact that Robin gets bad news. I'm concerned that she'll have a miscarriage, and think it's a possibility that the writers might have decided to go that direction because: a) Lily is also trying to have a baby, and having two characters pregnant at the same time can really complicate story-lines b) "HIMYM" seems to be way more of a drama-comedy recently (the horrendous Barney/Nora break-up, Barney/Robin will-they-won't they, no she'll choose Kevin scenario comes to mind) then a true comedy. But I really, truly hope that that doesn't happen.
Other 'bad things' that could happen? Robin clearly has a lot of unresolved issues with her father, so perhaps she has to deal with him having an illness, or even dying (although that seems unlikely since we already dealt with the death of a parent last season). Or, Kevin could break-up with Robin right when she's about to tell him she's pregnant (or worse, after she tells him she's pregnant). Or, Barney could say something horrible to Robin about her pregnancy (this seems highly unlikely, but you never know). Craig Thomas has promised that the show won't deal with abortion (at least in this particular situation), so at least we know it's not going that route.
The episode will pick-up exactly where the last episode left off, and the father of the baby will be revealed very early. Want to know who it is? Watch the clip:

"HIMYM" and "Castle" Are All New
The hiatus is over! Tonight both "HIMYM" and
"Castle" are all new, and both shows are much anticipated;
"HIMYM" because of Robin's surprise announcement at the end of the
last episode ("Barney, I'm pregnant"!), and "Castle"
because we've been promised an hour of Castle and Beckett trapped in a room
together, handcuffed.
"How I Met Your Mother" airs on Mondays on CBS at 7/8C.
This is the last "Castle" episode until January, so hopefully it will be a good one!
Watch "Castle" on ABC at 9/10C.
I've dealt with "HIMYM" here (the post even includes a clip that reveals who the baby's father is!), so now it's time to talk about "Castle".
What we know for sure is that Beckett and Castle are going to wake up together in an empty room, and they're going the be handcuffed. The whole episode will revolve around them trying to escape the room, the rest of the precinct trying to find them, and presumably some sort of relationship discussion. I mean, they're literally trapped together, so there's no way for them to run away from any conversations (or fights!) that might start.
Thanks to TV Guide for the following clip:
This is the last "Castle" episode until January, so hopefully it will be a good one!

HIMYM: Will Robin and Kevin break up? When?
Will Robin and Kevin break up? Yes. Mainly because they have to. In a contractually obligated sort of way.
Kal Penn, who plays Kevin on 'How I Met Your Mother', signed on for an eight-episode arc. That's not to say he won't be invited back in the future, but it seems unlikely that he'll commit to another long arc.
Remember when Penn first appeared on 'HIMYM'? It was in the fourth episode of the current season, "The Stinson Missile Crisis" (S7Ep4). He has appeared in almost every single episode since then*, for a total of six episodes. So, by the power of math (and Penn's contract) that means Kevin will only be sticking around for two more episodes.
So, does it matter if Kevin is the baby's father? Okay. Yes. It matters a little bit. But will potential parenthood mean that Kevin will be sticking around? I doubt it. Especially since Penn is currently developing a new workplace comedy for NBC. Why settle for guest starring roles when you can be the next Tina Fey?
*Kal Penn did not appear in "The Slutty Pumpkin Returns" (S7Ep8) or "The Rebound Girl" (S7Ep11)

'HIMYM': "Tick Tick Tick" and "The Rebound Girl" reviewed
'How I Met Your Mother' has really been pulling on our heart strings recently. It's almost as though they've decided to switch genres.
Last week's episode "Tick Tick Tick..." (S7Ep10) was the most depressing episode of 'HIMYM' that I have ever seen. It opened with Barney and Robin in bed together, both grappling with the fact that they'd cheated on their significant others. Throughout the episode they discussed what this meant to them: Were they destined to be together? Was it all a big mistake? By the end of the episode Barney had ended his first ever serious relationship (on the very day he was supposed to meet her parents!) and wanted to get together with Robin. Robin, despite initially agreeing, had a change of heart when her boyfriend said "I love you" for the first time. The episode ended with the series' saddest scene ever: Barney removing rose petals from Robin's bed, and blowing out candles that he had set up all over her room, before she came home. The other story line, featuring Ted and Marshall high at a concert and a pregnant Lily craving nachos was not enough to distract from the pain.
It's unclear how much time in the 'HIMYM' world passed between last week's episode and the one that aired tonight...but I'm hoping for a couple of weeks at least. If you saw it you'll probably guess why.
"The Rebound Girl" (S7Ep11) featured a lonely Ted and a still emotionally distraught Barney. They drunkenly decided that it would be a good idea to adopt a baby and raise her together. This storyline continued throughout the episode--with Barney being the one to insist that it really was a good idea, and that he really did want a baby. Robin, meanwhile, was the center of the other storyline. She was devastated when Lily and Marshall told her that they were going to move to Long Island to the house that Lily's grandparents had given them. Her anxiety was present throughout the episode, and I think most viewers assumed it was because she felt that everything was changing...including her friendship with Barney, which had presumably been damaged when she rejected him and stayed with her boyfriend. Despite Robin's anxiety and Barney's obsessive behavior this was a much, much funnier episode than last week's. The jokes about Lily and Marshall's tiny apartment, the running gag that Robin couldn't turn around without breaking a lamp, and the appearance of a real-live baby helped to liven the mood.
Midway though the episode a distraught Robin locked herself into the bathroom at the Long Island house, declaring that she would not come out until Marshall and Lily promised not to move. Although she refused to open the door, she did end up opening the bathroom window numerous times to receive a cheese plate, have a conversation through the window with Marshall, and finally to let Barney climb through. He cautiously asked her if they could still be friends (leaving us to wonder, how much time had passed since last week's episode? Was this the first time they had seen each other since she chose her boyfriend over him?), and then proceed to tell her about the baby plan, leaving out the part where it was all his idea, and placing the 'blame' on Ted. Robin finally said something that explained her odd behavior throughout the episode: "I'm pregnant".
So, seriously, how much time has passed? Is it possible that Barney is the father? And if he isn't the father will Robin's current boyfriend want a baby? Based on Barney's behavior throughout the episode it's pretty clear that he would have no problem raising another man's child as his own and that he is still in love with Robin.
And, finally, was anyone else bothered by the similarities between Brennan's declaration to Booth at the end of last season of 'Bones' and this episode's ending?
On 'Bones': Brennan, "I'm pregnant. And you're the father." Cut to black.
On 'HIMYM': Robin, "I'm pregnant." Cut to black.
Ahh mid-season hiatus, you will be the death of me. Hopefully we'll find out what happens when new episodes start airing on December 5th. But, knowing how much 'HIMYM' likes to drag out storylines (who is the mother? And who is Barney marrying?) I'm wondering how long it will take before the writers choose to tell us anything about Robin's pregnancy.

First Sneak Peek Video of Bones Season 7 Released!
Finally, we're able to see a video clip from 'Bones' Season 7!
All new episodes of 'Bones' will air on November 3rd.
Check out the video clip that was recently shown at Fox's fall preview:
The clip shows Bones and Booth interacting at a crime scene. Bones is very pregnant, and seems reluctant to accept Booth's point of view (so basically, nothing has changed!).
What do you think about their interaction?

How many episodes of 'Bones' will there be in Season 7?
Bones Season 7 has Limited Episodes
The disappointment of 'Bones' 7th Season continues...
Not only is the series not returning until November 3rd, but Fox is only allowing Hanson and co. to produce 13 episodes this season.
That means a sadly short season for us, although I do support Fox's decision to not make any episodes with Emily Deschanel.

'Community' at 8 pm
'Parks & Rec' at 8:30 pm
Unfortunately '30 Rock' joins 'Bones' with a mid-season release date due to Tina Fey's pregnancy. She's due in September. (Of course the stars of all of my favorite shows had to get pregnant at the same time!)

Bones Season 7 Premiere Date (Release Date and Episode Title Announced)
Thursday, November 3rd!
The episode will be called: "The Memories in the Shallow Grave"
I admit that I'm probably as frustrated as the rest of you. Normally the new season starts in mid-September, and having to wait an extra month and a half doesn't mesh well with my patience. Still, the only good thing is in all likelihood it means that once the new season premieres we will have new episodes until May. Presumably Emily Deschanel is taking her maternity leave from the show right after her baby is born (this fall) until they show episodes in November. Because of this they may film as many episodes during hiatus (in July) as possible prior to her fall delivery. Which will make an interesting twist...how far along will she be in her pregnancy on the show? This definitely should calm the rumors online that Brennan's pregnancy annoucement is going to prove to be a dream, or that she will miscarry (although a late-term miscarriage is possible, it's a little too 'Secret Life of the American Teenager' to happen). Frankly, if I was the writers I wouldn't want to pass up the opportunity to show a frantic soon-to-be dad Booth dealing with a pregnant Brennan. But maybe they're tired of having to deal with pre-baby drama after Angela and Hodgins. Guess we'll just have to wait until November to see. All I can say is that I really hope they show everyone's reactions to Brennan's pregnancy, and their reactions to finding out that Booth is the father...if the writers skip that I'll be as annoyed as I was when they skipped the sex scenes at the end of last season.
edit: 'Bones' executive producer Stephen Nathan says, "The first episode will pick up with Brennan moving into the third trimester of her pregnancy. Brennan is still the same strong character and shows no sign of slowing down. She attacks each case as she always has, although she must now deal with the realities of being pregnant."

'Bones' Season 7--maternity leave, short season, release date
'Bones' 7th Season:
maternity leave, short season & release date
Fox hasn't released 'Bones' seventh season premiere date yet...but we do know that it will in all likelihood be in mid-September (that's when the last two seasons started). Of course, it's possible it will be pushed earlier than usual to get as much out of Emily Deschanel as possible before she goes on Maternity Leave. As soon as she's gone, so is the show...they'll be going on hiatus. This is good news for Deschanel's baby, and bad news for us because it means that we're going to get a shortened seventh season of 'Bones'. Hart Hanson's new show, 'The Finder' (which had a cross-over episode with 'Bones' during this past season) is going to takeover for 'Bones' for at least ten episodes.
EDIT 7/22/11: 'Bones' Season 7 Premiere Date Released
I, for one, can't wait until we see how everyone deals with Bone's pregnancy. Read my posting here to learn why!

To tide you over until September finally rolls around, here's a video of Brennan and Booth's first kiss (with the actors before/after reactions!). This clip certainly shows way more passion than the show has ever given us in their edited down version. It also makes Brennan's line "It was just like kissing my brother" way funnier:

bones, booth, sex and baby: season 6 finale
First Comes Love, Then Comes a Baby in a Baby Carriage:
"The Hole in the Heart" & "The Change in the Game"--'Bone's' Season 6 Finale
spoiler alert
spoiler alert
The Hints in "The Hole in the Heart"In "The Hole in the Heart" (last week's second to last 'Bones' episode) lots of things happened. A bunch of it was just the usual: there was a murder, they solved it. But, what all the fans really cared about was the suggestion that Brennan and Booth had finally had sex.
We know for a fact that Booth and Brennan spent a night sleeping in the same bed. The super crazy fans spent lots of time analyzing each scene to determine if this sleepover involved cuddling or actual sex.
Many bloggers pointed out that in "The End in the Beginning" (a dream episode where Booth and Brennan were married) their sex scene happened at 4:47. And in "The Hole in the Heart" when Brennan gets into bed with Booth it is exactly 4:47. And that doesn't seem accidental. Plus, I personally thought it was pretty obvious that they'd had sex because of the looks that Angela and Brennan exchanged, as well as the look that Brennan and Booth shared at the end of the episode.
I could spend more time analyzing the episode, but lots of bloggers have already done that. And it's kind of a moot point now...
Because we know that Booth and Brennan had sex at least once since....
Brennan is pregnant. And Booth is the father.
How's that for a season finale?
But Was It Expected?
I was expecting something exciting to occur during the season finale, and at 9:57 when I looked at my clock and nothing at all had really happened it just raised my expectations. And I wasn't disappointed. Of course, Emily Deschanel's real life pregnancy was a hint that Brennan would get pregnant too, but we didn't know for sure.
Throughout the episode Brennan constantly made comments about a very rude child. She kept looking at Booth and saying "our child" wouldn't be like that. Of course, she referred to Booth as Buck since they were undercover as a married couple at the time. And it wasn't completely clear where her comments were headed. It was obvious that it wasn't, as her father thought, just an attempt to stay in character. But I thought that it might be leaning towards a renewal of the whole 'Booth donating sperm' storyline that was dropped a while ago. Maybe Brennan just wanted a child?
Although I somehow doubted that because she seemed more concerned than eager. She also seemed incredibly worried about Angela's delivery.
And she was distant from Booth, as both Sweets and her father point out in different scenes. I assumed that the distance between them in the diner was because they'd had sex. And perhaps it was, because it was clearly a mutual distance. But in the bowling ally when her father points out that something is weird Booth seems a little clueless...suggesting that Brennan is the true cause of this distance because she is concerned about Booth's reaction to her pregnancy.
She doesn't really have much to be worried about. When she told Booth that she was pregnant and he was the father he got a huge grin on his face. He was obviously okay with it.
What I'm wondering is how in the world she got pregnant that fast. The amount of time that passes between 'Bones' episodes normally mimics a real-life time frame (so about a week). And considering the fact that Angela was really nearing labor in last week's episode, and delivered a baby in this week's episode, suggests that very little time passed. But there is no way that Brennan would know after a week (or even two) that she was pregnant. So, what's going on there?? Seriously, any suggestions?
And how in the world are we all going to wait until next season? I want to see everyone's shocked reactions to a Booth/Brennan pregnancy. And I really want to see them actually have sex (you know, to the extent that Fox can show us that). Because I feel a little cheated by the whole 'did they, didn't they' situation which really was no solution to the 'will they, won't they' stand-off of the last five years.

What I'm wondering is how in the world she got pregnant that fast. The amount of time that passes between 'Bones' episodes normally mimics a real-life time frame (so about a week). And considering the fact that Angela was really nearing labor in last week's episode, and delivered a baby in this week's episode, suggests that very little time passed. But there is no way that Brennan would know after a week (or even two) that she was pregnant. So, what's going on there?? Seriously, any suggestions?
And how in the world are we all going to wait until next season? I want to see everyone's shocked reactions to a Booth/Brennan pregnancy. And I really want to see them actually have sex (you know, to the extent that Fox can show us that). Because I feel a little cheated by the whole 'did they, didn't they' situation which really was no solution to the 'will they, won't they' stand-off of the last five years.
