Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. Andrew Leeds tortured my friend Tessa. Not literally- he’s actually a perfectly nice fellow it seems- but when Christopher Pelant (the hacker-genius/psychopathic game-player/serial killer who bears his face), *spoiler alert* forced Booth to reject Brennan’s marriage proposal, Tessa and […]
In our 4-part series “Talking to Fox” we’re sharing the scoop from the sets of Allen Gregory, Raising Hope, New Girl and Bones. Last, but certainly not least, is the incredibly funny combo of Bones showrunners Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan. The bantering duo made for the most entertaining call of the lot and the […]
I stopped writing about Bones about two years ago. It had stopped being fun. The show seemed to stop being the kind of show that really benefits from tons of analysis. Instead, it seemed to fall strongly into a procedural crime drama where the characters weren’t as engaging, and the plots seemed designed just to […]
There’s a stigma to any show that can be called “procedural”. The TV landscape has become so saturated with CSIs and Law & Orders and versions of NCIS that it seems like there’s not a lot left.

*SPOILER ALERT* For years now Bones has been high on my “eventually I really must watch that show” list. So finally I did. I’ve been working on it for a couple weeks. It’s unfailingly repetitive and I’ve quickly gotten to a point where I can spot the murder by the end of Act 1. That […]
The Bachelorette: She picked the right guy. They rode off into the sunset. I got simultaneously jealous and then ashamed of myself. It was pretty standard. Except that she let the other guy go before the last day, causing the producers to have to scramble for a new dramatic ending. I kinda liked that, it […]
In a season that was often uneven, and that came after a season that was so over-the-top gimmicky that its emotional epiphanies often felted tainted by the ridiculousness, Bones actually somehow managed to make a re-believer out of me. It felt like, especially in the second half of the season, the show was aiming to […]
I’m about two weeks late, and I don’t have the time/energy to give this the attention it truly deserves, but as the resident Bones expert here at My Tv I feel the need to comment on the recent dramatics. For the record, BIGGEST SPOILER WARNING EVER. About two weeks ago, Bones had its 100th […]
