I think Bones took 5 or 6 episodes to gel -- suddenly the generic Squints became cool characters and the show really took off for me.

It was too much for me to keep up with Bones, last year, because I already watched Lost and VM was on Wednesdays for a good chunk of the year. Then I just let it go. Now I'm watching Jericho, even though I suspect Bones is much better. I just haven't gotten back around to it.

yeah, i think that's another reason i gave up on it, Cindy. so much tv, so little time.

It helped that I had a super pimptastic introduction to it. But really, watching it all in one go is my favorite way to watch television, especially television I'm just getting in to. You undertand a lot more of the character motivations and overall energies better.

I just watched the episode with the serial killer, and man, it just hit home for me how this show hits all the right emotional highs for me. And this show is the perfect example of letting DB off the chain! The man can freaking act, and you never saw it as much with Angel because Angel was such a one-note character. In Bones, it's like Dave has the freedom to really stretch himself, which, after lusting after him for the last ten years, is a treat and a half.

Am I the only one who liked it better when Booth and Bones were more friends than anything else? I've been annoyed with the way they've been playing up the romancy vibe, what with the roadblock relationships.('Cuz you can't get the leads together romanticly or the show will die. Nevermind that Moonlighting had a lot of other problems besides the lead characters boinking)

Then again, I'm not fond of the fictional romance I'm seeing these days.

I hated the first episode of Bones, but I tried watching again later in the season and started liking it. It's not a show I would worry about missing, but I enjoy it.

Jericho, I don't know, I keep thinking it will turn a corner and become something I really like, but it hasn't yet. I feel obligated to watch it, though, in case it starts being really good.

And I think Aillean is right about House orchestrating the whole thig so he can be sure he's not stepping on Wilson's toes when he makes his move on Cuddy. I didn't put it together whileI was watching, but it makes sense.

I am watching Jericho for the first time, and there is a boy on it who looks so familiar. He has dark hair and was just talking about being the "vibe" guy. I am not sure if he is just reminding me of someone I know, but has he been in something else?

The interesting thing about Bones and a potential relationship is that Brennan is generally oblivious--though that mess with Sully has her thinking things a little diffferently--and that there are real, serious differences between Booth and Brennan, ie, religion. Booth is devout and Brennan is baffled by that. He does not appreciate her attempt to analyze his faith from a sociological point of view--especially because she think faith is a failing of logic.

It's almost buddy-cop thing with the male-female dynamic.

No, I don't know the name of the actor (or the character.)

I am so pleased that Stanley is back. When NONE of the promos mentioned him I was going to be pissed off that everyone was all worried about Eric (dead weight) and no word of Stanley (or Heather!)

I loved House. After Wilson yells at House, he leaves and there's the whole "Night, Wilson" "Night, House" thing.

I just can't decide if House is asking Cuddy out because he's interested or if he's playing games.
