I just started watching Bones at the beginning of this season (actually, I started watching some of the summer reruns). I'm loving it! In my humble little opinion, I think that the Triple Whammy of Bones, Criminal Minds and CSI NY makes Wednesday night The most perfect night of television viewing, ever! Except for the "Bones & Booth do Las Vegas" eppy a couple weeks ago (that was pretty lame, IMO) I think Bones has been exceptionally good, this season. Intriguing cases, excellent character development and interactions, emotional ups and downs, and quirky humor. I don't like Bones quite as much as CSI NY - that show is my "baby" - but I definitely prefer it over the Vegas CSI, hands down. I remember when Bones first came out, some folks automatically criticized it as simply a cheap knock-off of CSI, but now that I've started watching it, I certainly don't see it that way, at all. It definitely has it's own distinctive flavor, and I'm glad I ended up watching it. It's now one of my Top 5 Favorites.
