When is 'Bones' Returning from Hiatus?

Update 2/9/12: 'Bones' will be be airing all new episodes on April 5th at 9/8C.



Update 2/27/12: FOX has revised its Spring schedule, and 'Bones' is moving to Mondays! The season now returns on Monday, April 2nd at 8 pm.


People keep messaging me, asking me to tell them when new episodes of 'Bones' (Season 7!) are going to air. I have no affiliation with FOX, so the short answer is: I have no idea. That being said, I do know a couple of things:

Yes, this season will be short, but there are going to be a minimum of 17 episodes. Only 13 are officially scheduled, meaning the season may drag into the summer, or (if renewed for an 8th season) return earlier than normal in the fall. They're still filming now*, so if things go incredibly, remarkably smoothly there's even a possibility that there might even be more than 17. But...let's say there will be 17. Six episodes have aired, which means that we are not even half way through the season, and there are (hopefully!) 11 more episodes to look forward to.

The network hasn't officially set a release date for episode seven yet, but actors/producers etc. have alluded to the fact that the show will be returning in the spring.

When 'Bones' finally does return, we'll be watching the seventh episode of the seventh season (there is a kind of eloquence about that), entitled "The Prisoner in the Pipe". According to various internet sites, baby Booth/Bones will be born during the episode! And Brennan will go into labor in a prison!

While you're waiting for 'Bones' to come back, if you're looking for shows in a similar vein to watch, you might want to try 'Castle'. Several die-hard 'Bones' fans are pushing people to watch 'The Finder' (created by Hart Hanson, the man behind 'Bones'). While 'The Finder' is a completely decent show, and needs more viewers in order to be signed for a full season, its tone is not at all similar to that of 'Bones'. In fact, the only similarities I can see are the occasional character cross-overs (John Francis Daley guest-starred in the show's second episode).

I will update this post as more information becomes available from FOX, the producers, and the rest of the cast and crew.

*I'm not entirely sure what episode they're working on now, but they've finished through episode 10.

Critique of 'Bones' Season 7 Episode 1

How did you feel about the 7th season premiere of 'Bones'?

Oddly enough Booth and Brennan's occasional moments of affection didn't feel strange. Each time they kissed I didn't feel shocked, in fact if anything I felt a little too desensitized to it. It used to be that a Booth/Brennan hook-up was something that fans looked forward to and that there was a lot of excitement associated with a kiss. Now it doesn't carry much weight. I'm not sure why this has happened, but it just seems as though they have always been together.

The storyline itself was a little weak. Frankly, I can't even remember what the murder was, and I only watched the episode a day ago (to be fair to the show, I have watched half a season of 'Castle' since then which does muddy my memory with its own murders).

Also, although I know that Sweets is investigating crimes with Booth because Emily Deschanel asked for reduced screen time due to her pregnancy, I miss the old scenario where Booth and Bones interrogate witnesses. I hope that a few of the episodes this season still have that.

In a way I was pleased to see that Booth and Brennan are not having a perfect relationship, and that decisions over their living situation caused tension in this episode. The fact that they said "I love you" to each other was also nice to hear, although I feel as though we got cheated out of the six months or so at the beginning of the pregnancy that lead up to that moment.

The scene where Brennan falls down and gets stuck behind the crate and calls Booth to help her was also telling. Despite the fact that it was a little too ridiculous, and didn't fit with the general tempo of the show, it did help the writers highlight the fact that Booth is the first person who Brennan thinks of when she needs help. She even said as much.

I knew there was no way that the episode could live up to its hype, but I also thought that it could have been stronger. It was a relatively enjoyable episode, but nothing extraordinary. 

Funnily enough the thing I disliked the most was the new opener. Superimposing still images of the main characters over a moving background really bothered me. It  reminded me too much of the opening credits of a sitcom. However, I do understand that if there is any time to introduce a new opening it's now, when large parts of the actual show are also changing.

All New 'Bones' Tonight!

'Bones' is finally returning from extended hiatus, but can it live up to all the hype?

Fans have been posting all over the internet so much since the season finale that there is no way the expectations of viewers haven't been escalated. There have been numerous complaints about the lack of any sex scene/build-up toward Booth and Brennan's relationship. Of course, this isn't HBO or Showtime, and no one is expecting real sex scenes...but you know, we had that fake scene in the Booth dream-coma (Season 4 Finale) and we had tons of Hannah sex scenes (beginning of Season 6). For goodness sake, we even had Cam/Booth sex scenes! So why not give loyal fans something instead of skipping all of the fun of a budding relationship. 'Bones' is supposedly attempting to avoid the Moonlighting Curse, but I'm a little concerned they're going to accidentally jump the shark instead.

What is the Moonlighting Curse? 'Moonlighting' was a widely popular show in the 1980s which had a lot of sexual tension between its main characters, but when they eventually hooked up they lost tons of viewers. The belief is that people didn't watch the show any more now that they knew that the main characters who they had always wanted to see together were actually together. It's called the curse because there's a belief that other television shows will also suffer poor ratings if they bring main characters with sexual tension together as a couple.

Hart Hanson, and others connected to the show, have been interviewed about concern over the Moonlighting Curse, and have insinuated that the Booth/Brennan pregnancy will let them avoid it all together. They're able to skip all the lovey-dovey new relationship stuff and suddenly have their main characters just be together. The only problem with this is that a lot of fans really do watch the show just for those Booth/Brennan moments, and many of them were waiting impatiently to see how the couple would get together and what would ensue right after they did. That has all been lost.

Hanson and co. are banking on the fact that by avoiding the Moonlighting Curse they'll hold onto viewers, but what if their attempt at avoidance is the very thing that loses them loyal fans?

I'd bet a lot that ratings for tonight will be spectacular, but I'm curious to see what happens in the long-run. What do you think? Do fans feel cheated and will it stop any of them from watching 'Bones'?



Watch an all new 'Bones', "The Memories in the Shallow Grave",  tonight (Nov. 3rd) 9/8C on FOX.

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?

Check out the new 'Bones' promo video HERE.

'Bones' has a new actor!


Is anyone else missing 'Bones' horribly? I can't believe we have to wait until Thursday, November 3rd to see the first episode of the new (7th) season. More info HERE.

Still, at least they're still dropping occasional tidbits about the new season. Note: If you don't want to know anything, don't read the rest of this!

Anyway, as those of you who saw the end of the 6th season know, Vincent Nigel-Murray tragically left the show. That means that there's an opening for a new squintern. And Luke Kleintank is filling that role. He's (in real life) a young actor. Major credits to his name include the roles of Elliot on 'Gossip Girl', Chris on 'No Ordinary Family', and Noah on 'The Young and the Restless'. He also has kind of floppy hair, which I hope gets cut for his role on 'Bones', mainly because I find it irritating.


He'll appear in the second episode of the new season, playing a new squintern who has a problematic past that includes a stint in juvie.

We'll just have to wait to see how it all turns out. Unfortunately, that wait is a solid 5 months.

What I Want to Happen on...'Bones'


What Will Happen During the Seventh Season of 'Bones'?

From time to time I like to post what I want to happen on some of my favorite series during their upcoming seasons. As the season starts and ends, I follow up on my predictions and see if any of them came true. Many of them don't. Mainly because I'm not guessing the most probable situations, but rather because I am coming up with what I really truly want to happen. Leave a comment below and I'll add your predictions to my list. I'll re-post come October after the Season 7 premiere date and we'll see if any of our predictions came true!

1. There have been rumors on the blogosphere that Booth is not the father of Brennan's baby. I refuse to accept this. Booth is the father of Brennan's baby.

2. Brennan will tentatively agree that Booth should live with her to look after the baby. She'll insist on separate bedrooms at first.

3. Or Season 7 will start and Brennan and Booth will be a romantic couple. Everyone knows (which is kind of boring) or no one knows except for Angela, and no one knows who the father of her baby is (I vote for this! Way for fun!).

3. This time around, Brennan will be the one attempting to persuade Booth that they need to give their relationship a try. He'll be a little hesitant because he was hurt by her (and Hannah) before, but he'll agree to give it a go because they have a child together.

4. Hannah will reappear for one episode to try and get Booth back. It will be awkward.

5. Booth will want to christen the baby, Brennan will be hesitant. It will be awkward...but in a much more entertaining way than the whole Hannah thing.

6. Sweets and Daisy will get married.

7. Angela and Hodgins will randomly bring their baby to work. But only once or twice, because children and sets don't mix well.

8. Cam will continue to be relegated to the background. Which is kind of okay with me. I like her, but I don't care about her character developing further.

9. Maybe Michelle will make an appearance. Remember her?

10. Sweets will have hilarious things to say about Booth and Brennan and their baby. Or maybe he'll be the one person they're hesitant to tell about Booth being the father, and he'll get confused as to how their relationship dynamic is changing.

What do you think?
