Bones
Every body has secrets.
Created by Hart Hanson
On FOX
A long-running forensic procedural that pairs grim subject matter with the steady reassurance of weekly case resolution and a central partnership that deepens across 246 episodes.
Dr. Temperance Brennan and her colleagues at the Jeffersonian's Medico-Legal Lab assist Special Agent Seeley Booth with murder investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless.
