Nicole Bessette, our Bones Fan Columnist, recaps "The Foot and the Foreclosure." If you're interested in becoming a Fan Columnist click here.

Alright, so I'm just gonna come out and say it: this week's murder was really weird. I mean, don't get me wrong, the promo with Booth and Bones finding a pile of ash and a human foot as the only remains of their murder victim sounded pretty cool, but the story behind it was a rather strange one if I do say so myself.

So basically, a real estate agent finds human remains on the bed in the master bedroom of a house she is trying to sell to some prospective buyers. When the FBI is contacted and Booth and Bones show up, Bones is completely shocked at what she finds. There is nothing but a large pile of ash and a woman's foot on the bed, leading Booth to believe that the cause of death was spontaneous combustion. Oh, you gotta love him.

This week on Bones, Booth and Brennan attempt to solve a challenging murder case with family in town. "The Foot in the Foreclosure," the eighth episode of the fifth season, introduces us to Booth's grandfather Hank, portrayed by Days of our Lives star Ralph Waite, which only means we'll getting more scoop and dirt on Booth's backstory.

'Bones' Fan Columnist: The Ever So Wonderful Stephen Fry

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:38:10 GMT

Nicole Bessette, our Bones Fan Columnist, is a big fan of Stephen Fry on Bones. If you're interested in becoming a Fan Columnist click here.

I don't know about you, but I just thoroughly enjoy every guest appearance from the lovely Stephen Fry on Bones. Considering this man's incredibly impressive filmography, it is truly an honor to have him on the show, and I must say that I think it is one of his best roles yet. And yes, I know I'm a bit biased.

But you must admit that the character of Dr. Gordon Wyatt is simply wonderful. I mean, who else could help Booth realize his feelings for Dr. Brennan or help him understand why he shot a clown off of the top of an ice cream truck? He is probably the person Booth trusts most after Bones, of course, and this makes him an invaluable addition to every episode he's in.

'Bones' Fan Columnist: Love, Lies, and Leprechauns

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:29:22 GMT

Nicole Bessette, our Bones Fan Columnist, recaps last night's episode. If you're interested in becoming a Fan Columnist click here.

I am totally still reeling from last night's Bones. I mean, sure, the murder was just kind of so-so, but man, the Booth and Bones stuff was amazing. All I have to say is thank goodness for Sweets and Gordon Gordon. At least they can see that Booth and Bones are totally meant to be together.

In this particular episode, "The Dwarf in the Dirt," we go back to a lot of stuff that was brought up in the season premiere. Specifically, back to the after-effects of Booth's coma dream and his newfound love for Dr. Brennan. And, of course, we get a lovely guest appearance from Stephen Fry, Chef Gordon Gordon Wyatt. Turns out he hung up his psychiatry profession and traded it in for a fancy coat and oven mitts...who would've thought it?

Bones: Preview of Episode 5.7 "The Dwarf in the Dirt"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:00:00 GMT

What would be better than seeing Stephen Fry reprise his role as Dr. Gordon Wyatt on Bones? Seeing Booth in a wrestling ring trying to tackle a midget! Yes, you heard me right. Booth comes to blows with a little person tonight in "The Dwarf in the Dirt," the seventh episode of Bones' fifth season.

The case this week is about the discovery of the remains of a little person in a sinkhole. In due course, we learn that the victim's name is Bryce DaFonte, also known as "The Iron Leprechaun," who competed in a popular wrestling league. However, the popularity of the franchise has left him with many enemies, including bitter competitors and scorned lovers, any of whom could have caused his downfall.

'Bones' Fan Columnist: Grandpa Booth

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:03:27 GMT

Nicole Bessette, our Bones Fan Columnist, brings us some Bones news about future episode details. So warning! Possible spoilers below. If you're interested in becoming a Fan Columnist click here.

So we all know that Booth and Bones both had difficult childhoods, and it's probably one of the reasons why they work so well together. Well, that and their obvious sexual tension. But there is still no doubt that we know way more about Bones' family than Booth's. So, when are we going to find out more about the Booth's?

Nicole Bessette, our Bones Fan Columnist, Recaps "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken". We look forward to her weekly show recaps and thoughts. If you're interested in becoming a Fan Columnist click here.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that I was completely ecstatic that Bones returned last night. And might I just say, I really enjoyed this episode. Pigs, chickens, thumbs in chicken nuggets, fights, and relationships discovered. Yup, sounds like another day at the Jeffersonian.

In "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken," a body is discovered along the banks of the Savage River. Thanks to the Woodchucks, a group of "scientific girl scouts" who absolutely idolize Dr. Brennan, the body was delivered to the Jeffersonian along with water samples, digital photographs of the area, soil samples, and even plants and insects. Looks like these girls really knew their stuff.

Bones: Preview of Episode 5.6 "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Tonight on Bones, we get a little bit of comedy as the Jeffersonian team is brought in on a case that seemingly delves into pure science fiction. We're sure it's nothing that Booth and Bones can't handle but solving the case proves to be a little messy.

"The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken," the sixth episode of Bones' fifth season, explores the mystery behind the mutilated remains of a local chicken farmer discovered on the bank of a nearby river. The twist: He's half-man and half chicken!

'Bones' Producer Gives Flashback Episode a Go

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Remember when BuddyTV hinted on a flashback episode of Bones that would rewind all the way back to Booth and Brennan's first-tag team assignment? Well, it's time to celebrate Bones fans because series executive producer Stephen Nathan has now confirmed the good news.

Fan Columnist: How to Survive the 'Bones' Hiatus

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:28:54 GMT

I know, like me, you must still be reeling over the fact that there will be no new Bones episodes until November 5, but I beseech you to try your best to cope during this hard time. For it is in fact during a tragedy like this that we must all band together in order to get past the pain and anguish we feel in our hearts.

There are 13 long days until the return of Booth and Bones, but we must not dwell on this. Let's focus on the positive and keep ourselves occupied for the remainder of this time. I have listed five excellent ways for you to survive this treacherous Bones hiatus.

Zooey Deschanel to Guest Star on 'Bones'

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:30:07 GMT

Exciting news for Bones and Deschanel fans! Zooey Deschanel, Emily's talented and equally adorable sister will finally be answering our prayers and guest starring along side her big sister. Emily has long hoped her sister would someday join her as a guest star on Bones, and it looks like she's finally getting her wish.

David Boreanaz spilled the news to E! Online saying, "I do know that Emily's sister is going to be on the next episode, which is exciting." Considering even the talented writers at Bones couldn't write away the sister's familial similarities, Zooey will be playing Temperance Brennan's cousin. According to Boreanaz, "I think she's going to play Emily's cousin. It's a whole relationship thing that's going on now with us and it continues to grow and grow and get crazy."

Fan Columnist: 'Bones' Recap - Murder, Mystery and a Mummy?

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:20:45 GMT

BuddyTV would like to introduce Nicole Bessette, our first Bones Fan Columnist. We look forward to her weekly show recaps and thoughts.

A 3,000 year old mummy, the return of Daisy, and a date between Bones and Booth's boss? Yep, that's what you can expect from "A Night at the Bones Museum."

In this episode, Booth and Bones and the rest of the Jeffersonian team find themselves face to face with an Egyptian mummy. After finding the mummy hanging on an electric fence covered in fresh blood, the gang takes the mummy back to the Jeffersonian to investigate, aided by a familiar face, Sweets' unique girlfriend, Daisy. Considering it a personal favor, Sweets gets Dr. Brennan to reluctantly agree to give Daisy a 24-hour probationary period as an intern, despite her "impulse control issues."

Bones: Preview of Episode 5.5 "A Night at the Bones Museum"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Another case awaits Brennan and Booth tonight on Bones and this time, it could change history. "A Night at the Bones Museum," the fifth episode of the FOX drama's fifth season, is all about be a mummified Egyptian royal and an anthropological mystery that has Brennan in a tizzy.

Bones: Preview of Episode 5.4 "The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:46:08 GMT

Bones returns tonight with a brand new case involving a seemingly perfect neighborhood. It also looks like the show will also focus on more character development as it puts the spotlight on Booth and Jeffersonian intern Arastoo.

When we last saw Bones, we got a glimpse of the conservative Amish life and witnessed Cam (Tamara Taylor) as she faced the challenges of becoming a mother to adopted daughter Michelle, who was getting pretty intimate with her boyfriend. It was a good thing that Booth was stepped up to play the protective uncle.

Exclusive Video Interview: David Boreanaz of 'Bones'

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:40:19 GMT

Sitting across from Bones' David Boreanaz is a bit like sitting across from Adonis. The man is ridiculously (sweaty palm inducing) handsome and he answers questions with a booming baritone that at times makes it difficult to separate him from his iconic characters. Needless to say, it's a wee bit intimidating.

But then peeking from his blue jeans, you see a flash of loud, somewhat obnoxious orange striped socks. Socks that Seeley Booth might deem too garish to wear. It's then that you realize the details that make Boreanaz's iconic characters so human, quirky, and relatable are drawn from the man itself. A fact which Boreanaz quickly confirmed saying, "I am the inspiration for every quirk you see on Booth." And appraently some so over the top they won't even show on Bones.

'Bones' Shuts Down Production Due to Swine Flu

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:46:43 GMT

A possible swine flu outbreak has unfortunately reached the set of Bones, the FOX procedural drama starring David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel. The news was confirmed by none other than Bones series creator Hart Hanson, who turned to his Twitter page to vent out his dismay.

'Bones' Creator Explains Why a Crossover with 'Lie to Me' Would Be Worth Watching

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:00:00 GMT

For some time now, FOX has been reportedly toying the idea of staging an episode that would find Bones' Booth and Brennan working on a case with Lie to Me's Doc Lightman, though a couple of months ago, an insider cautioned that "it's in the very early stages and may not even happen."

Exclusive Video Interview: Emily Deschanel of 'Bones'

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:15:45 GMT

Sitting across from Emily Deschanel, it's difficult to remember you're not about to be analyzed by the cold logic of Dr. Temperance Brennan. With the same piercing blue eyes that have captivated Seeley Booth and seen through the lies of countless criminals Deschanel, to a fan like me, IS Temperance Brennan. But sitting down with the actress for a few minutes and sharing easy laughs and conversation well outside of Bones' comfort level, you realize Temperance Brennan is just an incredibly well-crafted character portrayed to perfection by a talented actress. In fact, Deschanel says she has little in common with the character she's so expertly brought to life.

Deschanel and I chatted about the exciting adventures awaiting Booth and Bones this season, including a little something about tonight's Rumspringa episode and what it was like working with Cyndi Lauper after she "butchered" one of her songs in a previous season. Of course, I asked her all about her thoughts on the Booth/Bones romance and if she's as excited for the possibilities between the two as we fans are. Deschanel even joked around about how she and David Borneaz envision the pair's happy ending, "We're in the rain, we run together in the rain..."

See my entire interview with Emily Deschanel and then be sure to tune into FOX tonight for a brand new Bones episode, "The Plain in the Prodigy."

Bones: Preview of Episode 5.3 "The Plain in the Prodigy"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

After a leaky pipe, some money issues and a few sweet moments, Bones returns for its third episode this season to explore another case, and perhaps to tickle our imagination with yet another Booth and Brennan moment. Tonight Booth and Brennan go back in time to investigate the murder of a musical prodigy. No, it's not one of those flashback specials but "The Plain in the Prodigy" does take our dynamic duo to a place where tradition and simple living are of importance.

Exclusive Video Interview: Tamara Taylor of 'Bones'

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:45:27 GMT

The only person more excited for season 5 of Bones than us fans, may very well be Tamara Taylor. Massive change is afoot at The Jeffersonian and for Dr. Cam Saroyan during season 5, and Tamara Taylor couldn't be happier, or more lovely.

Though she plays quite the intimidating character on TV, in person Tamara Taylor is anything but. She's easy going, surprisingly funny, and jaw-droppingly gorgeous. While she was dressed to the nines for our interview, in a retro polka dot frock that begged her to do a twirl, Tamara told me she's much more a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl and that she's a lot "goofier" than Cam.

Bones: A Leaky Pipe and A Little Memory Loss Lead to Pretty Sexual Scene

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Sometimes, it takes a dead body, a bunch of creepy cats and a leaky water pipe to bring two people closer. Last night's episode of Bones didn't have the same intensity as the season opener but it did have a complicated murder mystery and several moments that probably satisfied your appetite for some Booth and Brennan closeness.

So what's the juiciest part? Evidently Booth lost his home improvement skills while in a coma so he doesn't know how to fix his leaky pipe. Too bad because he can't afford to fix it either. Brennan, who got a fat check, not to mention a Rolex, from her publisher, offers to pay for the pipe's $800 repair but Booth, as you would have thought, doesn't want to take her money. And it all leads to Booth dwelling on the fact that Brennan makes more money than he does.

Bones: Preview of Episode 5.2 "The Bond in the Boot"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:00:00 GMT

Booth saying the L word to Brennan may be the best season appetizer in the history of Bones so it's going to be hard to top last week's premiere but it looks like the second episode of the fifth season is just as promising. And judging from the promo trailer, we'll find Booth and Brennan dealing with a body, a gun and a silver car as they investigate a new case, which gets even more interesting as the show takes on a James Bond twist.

A Glee-ful Night at FOX's Fall Eco-Casino Party

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:30:44 GMT

I hardly thought it possible, to love Glee more than I did after its adorable premiere. A premiere, that begged from the TV screen for viewers to break into song, but after meeting the cast in Los Angeles, I am even more smitten.

In the coming weeks I'll be posting my interviews with the stable of FOX stars I interviewed--David Boreanaz, Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Emily Deschanel, and Eliza Dushku--to name just a few. But today, I wanted to share the story of what happened and what I learned when this converse loving girl donned heels and went to an honest-to-god red carpet event in LA and spent her evening chatting up the cast of FOX's hottest new show.

Bones: The Aftermath of the L Word

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Bones came back with a vengeance last week, considering last season's finale which left a lot of fans somewhat disappointed for not living up to its promise that Booth and Brennan will finally do the deed, and it looks like the fifth season is all about toying with their emotions and how they feel about each other now that Booth said the L word, albeit jokingly.

Bones: It's All in the Cards

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:00:00 GMT

It doesn't take a genius to know that Brennan is meant to be with Booth though it does take a psych, specifically one that's named Avalon, to make Brennan realize that. Well, sort of. At least Brennan now knows that she's capable of being loved, right?

Bones kicks off its fifth season with a satisfying premiere that leaves the door open for a lot of possibilities. The case, as mentioned in my preview article, revolves around a mass grave located under a fountain--- as predicted by Angela's psychic Avalon (Cyndi Lauper), who naturally becomes the main suspect for being the person who leads them to 12 bodies. As it turns out, however, a former cult leader is to blame for the murders.
