David Boreanaz

Not every show is shutting down for a month or two with a fall finale. Here’s one that will keep right on rattling: Bones.

The crime drama stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel mismatched homicide investigators. He’s a cynical, seen-it-all FBI homicide special agent; she’s a no-nonsense author and forensic anthropologist.

You’ve seen this part before: They hate each other, but they love each other. They were called "TV’s sexiest sleuths" on the cover of last week’s U.S. TV Guide, which seems about right.

Bones, however, is more than just a couple of pretty faces. It’s both heavy and light. The lab staff revel in their scientific nerdiness. The two leads, if you’ll pardon the expression, have nice chemistry.
