Technically speaking, tonight's edition of Bones is the third original, post-strike episode to air since Bones returned April 14. However, due to special extenuating circumstances, it's turned out more like the fourth, since “The Player Under Pressure,” which aired April 21, was actually an episode from the second season that was yanked from its original schedule in light of the Virginia Tech massacre. As such, it became a quasi-original offering because it was broadcast for the very first time.
Tonight's Bones entitled “The Verdict in the Story” features the return of veteran star, Ryan O'Neal, back in his role as Temperance Brennan's (Emily Deschanel) father.

Bones aficionados, here's your once in a lifetime chance to appear on the FOX police procedural drama starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. Team Easton Gym Co. has come up with an auction that will allow fans to bid for a non-speaking walk-on role for the series.
Those who are interested can bid on eBay, which already kicked off on April 26. The auction has started from $20 and has attracted 17 bidders so far. But fans can still make an offer given that there are three days left before the bidding deadline.

Unlike most forensic procedurals, Bones focuses more on the relationship between living people than its dead bodies. This, according to lead actor David Boreanaz, is one of the reasons why the show has stayed fresh for many years.
“For me, I've always maintained that the show is about the relation. It's about the characters, about the two of us [Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan] learning through solving a crime," said Boreanaz, who isn't really fond of serial killer storylines.

Almost exactly a year from its originally intended airdate, the episode called “The Player Under Pressure” finally airs on Bones tonight. This installment was actually scheduled for broadcast April 18 last year but had to be shelved temporarily in light of the story's similarity to real life events that occurred two days earlier.
On April 16, 2007, a 23-year old English major opened fire on his teachers and schoolmates at Virginia Tech. His sudden outburst of gunfire on the campus left 33 dead, including himself. It became the deadliest incident of mass shooting in the United States.

It's seems rare today for any leading TV character to be a deeply religious person, yet FOX's massively underrated Bones does just that with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), an intuitive if not altogether intelligent do-gooder who puts the bad guys away. A divorced father, viewers occasionally get to see Booth with his son, and the moments are tender and real, because it's all too apparent that Booth's motivations for putting away the bad guys is to make a better world for his son. He's charming, funny, a tad brutish but ultimately warm and caring, a combination that surely makes Seeley Booth one of the hottest dads on TV.

A month has passed since the WGA strike came to an end, and more and more shows are now returning to their sets to resume production on the current season. For Bones executive producer Hart Hanson, going back to restart the hit procedural dramedy has been an emotional experience.
"The moment I drove on the lot for the first time in three months, I got a little choked up,” Hanson told USA Today, adding that other members of the staff and crew are excited to be back as well.
