 Goodbye, baseball; hello, 'Bones'

By Mike Hughes | Lansing State Journal

Of all the TV characters, few speak for the audience as thoroughly as Seeley Booth.

He's the FBI agent played by David Boreanaz on "Bones." Surrounded by smart people and big words, he tunes them out.

"He's sort of a blue-collar guy," Boreanaz said. "He realizes he doesn't know what it is they're talking about."

Yes, viewers know the feeling.

TV is big on procedural shows, pulling us into a specific world. That requires characters to spit out large words and phrases; audiences must take it on faith that these words mean something.

Booth feels the same way. "I really don't care what they're saying," Boreanaz said of the character.

Occasionally, he'll tell that to the other characters. Viewer nod their heads in agreement.

Booth has overcome some of his early biases, when he dismissed all scientists as "squints." Still, much of the show's fun - alongside the gory murder stories - is in his tenuous relationship with forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel).

Tonight's episode - bringing the show back after a long baseball break - has a prime example, as the two debate the subject of beauty. Booth hesitantly mentions that Brennan has a well-structured face; Brennan seems startled by this information.

As it happens, Boreanaz, 37, is also quite well-structured. Producer Joss Whedon has described casting him for the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series. Female staffers, Whedon joked, "had their tongues hanging out."

Boreanaz got that role, went directly to the spin-off "Angel" and now to "Bones." He's had close to a decade of consecutive stardom.

In "Bones," he fits the role rather easily. No, Boreanaz doesn't follow the big words; in high school, science wasn't his subject.

"I was more of an athletic guy ... more the guy who was clowning around and getting in trouble," Boreanaz said.

He didn't do any school plays then, but he was interested in performing. His dad (using the name Dave Roberts) is a veteran TV weatherman and TV personality in Philadelphia.

Boreanaz started acting at Ithaca College in New York, then went on to Hollywood. For some upcoming "Bones" episodes, he's been working with veteran Ryan O'Neal.

"He would tell us about the old days, when he was doing 'Peyton Place.' ... He said, 'I was just happy to be doing television.' "

That may be Boreanaz's approach, albeit with a much bigger paycheck. He offers a blue-collar approach that Seeley Booth would like: "You just do the work, and good things will happen."

SMOULDERING

2 Bones

Solving crimes while the sexual tension sizzles.

Chemistry : yep, that’s the word on everyone’s lips when it comes to top-rated drama Bones. The star duo of Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz have struck up a smouldering on-screen rapport as bickering cop-and-scientist duo Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan.
It’s becoming the biggest will-they-won’t-they TV saga since Mulder and Scuelly. They’re back for a brand-new series this month, so loosen your collar, and prepare to do some ‘scientific’ research..

Breaking Bones down

Partly based ont he life and novels of real-life forensic anthropologist and best-selling crime author Kathy Reichs, Bones follows the murder investigations of Booth (an FBI agent who believes in solving crime the old-fashioned way : through interviews with the living) and Brennan ( a socially awkward forensics genius who has a knack for spotting clues in the dead).

The critics love it ..

“Deschanel’s deadpan delivery is mesmerizing.” Said Entertainment Weekly... “Super-slick forensic drama,” stated The Times...”Bones flicks all the right switches,” agreed The Guardian. So what’s the key to the show’s success...?

That chemistry....

“It just clicked with David,” says Emily. “I wouldn’t have necessarily thought that would be the case, because we’re kind of opposites in lots of ways. He likes to get right into the details of everything, while I tend to look at the bigger picture?”
Kathy Reichs is definitely a fan of the pairing :”I love the chemistry between Emily and David. It makes ours a more character-based show with more humour than any of your CSI-type dramas.” Trouble is, it might count for nothing this series...

Love triangle ....

Booth and Brennan’s frustrated attractin is about to be hampered further by the arrival of one of Booth’s old flames as Temperance’s new boss (played by Tamara Taylor). “Not only does she stroll in and get a job ! feel I deserve, she’s already been romantically involved with the guy I’ve been developing something with!” says Emily, sounding genuinely exasperated. “It adds a new dynamic. There’s a bit of a triangle going on and it certainly spices things up.”

Victim of her own success...

There’s a drawback to starring in a hit crime drama -- it can ruin a girl’s TV viewing habits. “Before Bones I was really interested in forensics documentaries,” admits Emily. “I’d watch episode after episode until 3am... and then I’d go to bed and have nightmares. But now I’m surrounded by it. Sometimes after a day of working on fake dead bodies I just want to go home and watch Project Runway!”
