Product Description

Agent Seeley Booth who teams up with forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) to solve some of the most baffling and bizarre crimes ever. Booth depends on clues from the living witnesses and suspects while Brennan gathers evidence from the dead relying on her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the bones of the victims. Their different investigative styles cause the two to frequently clash creating an undeniable chemistry and just the right touch of dark humor. Inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs and state-of-the-art criminal investigation procedures Bones is a compelling cutting edge television.System Requirements:Running Time: 946 Minutes.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 024543267287 Manufacturer No: 2236728

A taut series filled with drama as well as great chemistry between its two lead stars, Bones is a strong addition to Fox's television lineup. Debuting in 2005 to favorable critical reviews, the series shares an audience of fans with the CSI franchise. Smartly written and well-acted, the first season of Bones focuses on the collaborations between FBI special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), whom Booth somewhat sarcastically nicknames "Bones." Each of the 22 episodes follows a premise well-known to regular viewers of crime dramas--a murder has been committed and a body found. The team's job is to figure out who the victim is, how he or she was killed, and how it was done; that part doesn't differ from other shows on television. What sets the show apart is the humor injected into the episodes (Boreanaz is particularly good at delivering wry lines). There's some wicked humor in the episode focusing on Brennan's attempts at dating, which is nicely offset by the horrific crimes she has to deal with. And for a show with such attractive leads, Bones doesn't make a huge point of dwelling on any possible attraction between the pair. Rather, it takes advantage of their playful bantering, which is more akin to that of bickering siblings than repressed lovers--for this season, anyhow. The series is inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs (who stars in one of the featurettes on the four-disc set). In a nice play on art imitating reality, Kathy Reichs also is the name of the heroine in the murder mysteries that Dr. Brennan writes on the side. By the end of the season, viewers will learn enough about the characters to care, but not enough to completely understand why they are the way they are. That is an ongoing mystery. --Jae-Ha Kim Beyond Bones: The Complete First Season

 No "F" words here...except FANTASTIC! June 22, 2009
Harold Edward Wills (Hagerstown, Maryland USA)
Bones is a brilliant example of how old fashioned people-oriented performances of any variety are interesting, intriging and wonderful to behold.
With few exceptions this series is not only exquisite watching for now and the future - look forward to watching the episodes quite often...each viewing seems to endear you in the same fashion as the venerable "I Love Lucy" - but it also is stellar proof that the "F" word does not need to be a prerequisite for crime oriented genres.
 Every character is Brilliant May 24, 2009
Cliff Merkell (Los Angeles, CA)
There is nothing like listening to people converse that are both brilliant and love what they are doing. I wish I was there with them.
Easily my favorite series! May 16, 2009
C. Anderson (Orange, TX)
Loving this series. It's the best out there. The chemistry, the characters, the stories--everything is awesome!
Good, but..................... April 9, 2009

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I will not dwell on the content as other reviewers have done this admirably, There are 3 main criticisms
1) Double sided "Plain" discs....... very cheap and for a show as good as this, why?
2) No "Play All" feature, one of the reasons people buy TV show DVD's such as this is No Commercial breaks and being able to watch multiple episodes back to back in one sitting, so in this instance I have to > go to main menu, then click play on the next episode.
EDIT; The above 2 issues have been addressed in Season 2
3) the Title intro seems really loud as opposed to the actual episode content itself, I found myself turning down the volume each time, then turning it back up again?
Otherwise its fine as advertised
Incredible First Season April 9, 2009
N. C.
I am absolutely taken with this show. It stands out from other forensic programs as it focuses more on relationships than the cases themselves. This makes this show much more re-watchable. The casting is fabulous, although I did have a little trouble adjusting to David Boreanaz in the role of Booth at first. The characters are lively and outrageous, and when put together create some very interesting moments. The only thing I'd criticize are the inconsistencies. One minute Bones is too literal to understand a joke, but later one she makes one herself. Zack is even more literal, but occassionally we hear him say things like "Be Kind, Rewind". There are a lot of great episodes with tons of character development in this season, namely the Christmas episode - "The Man in the Fallout Shelter", and "Two Bodies in the Lab". The special features are great as well, especially David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel's commentary over the "Two Bodies in the Lab" episode. The further seasons are great, but none compare to the first.
