I was so looking forward to this. I discussed it at work today and - without exception - everyone was bummed. It was boring, the music was a major distraction, the acting was awful, and the storyline unbelievable. Bah! (House was good, tho!)

I don't believe it stunk, but it wasn't the best. It was just ok for a fox show. Hopefully it can stick around for at least a few more episodes.

Yeah, I was really hyped up for this, and it wasn't all that great. I was disappointed, but I'll give some more time. I really didn't like the lead lady though "Bones" She really got on my nerves. The way she talked, just everything about her.

blah

The lady's sister is a much better actress Zoey Deschannel she was in The Good Girl and some other movies way better actrees than Emily. This show didn't really suck it was just boring

I was disappointed too. Maybe it'll get better, but I expect more from David. He was doing the same ol' schtick and I know he's a better actor than he let on in the pilot.

My problem is that's too formulated. The pilot wasn't anything new or different. It's just the same old copycat of CSI and X-Files with cardboard characters and no respect for the audience.

I always thought that the Kathy Reichs books featuring Dr.Brennan would make a great script, it has a rich backdrop of Montreal and Virginia, good sexual chemistry plus real mystery's that this great character solves.
Unfortunately the show has squeezed every last drop of uniqueness out of the story and made it a very bland and very very boring show. And the actor who portray's Dr.Brennan manged to turn this character into an insipid know it all who chases a guy around begging to be Nancy Drew, pathetic. It's too bad but its a great example to any writer not to let Hollywood bleach your characters, you only wind up with a mess like this.

sounds like i'll just lay off this one. i have plenty to watch as it is, and sampling new shows gets to be a bit of a chore -- especially when a guy works nights and has to find the time to watch everything on tape. think i'll give alyson hannigan's new sitcom a try, though.

What also bothered me about it was what David's character said at the end - that he'd killed so many people as an Army Ranger sniper that he needed to make up for it with saving people's lives. 1) That's exactly Angel. The only difference is he can go into the sunlight and can boink. 2) What Ranger would ever say that? He's a soldier. My cousin in the Special Forces would hit any of his friends who said anything stupid like that. It's all that anti-military liberal BS.

It has gotten better since it picked back up after the world series. It is a lot like Numb3rs, which can get annoying at times. You know what I mean if you have ever watched both shows.

I think DB is doing a pretty good job in this role. My only complaint is with his wardrobe. Somebody needs to talk with these people about those ridiculously thin ties tha DB has to wear. We are no longer in the 1950's. Take a look at Boston Legal. That's how we dress in the modern age.

Also, this is the only show on FOX that I watch. FOX programming stinks!
