Bones is a well-loved TV show with legions of fans, but the stars, David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel, have just as many opinions about the best episodes of the series as everyone else. Bones ran for 12 seasons with continued success for many reasons, as it balanced adhering to the formulas of the procedural genre with some fun twists and iconic characters. Boreanaz plays the emotion-driven FBI agent Seeley Booth, with Deschanel joining him as his unlikely new partner, the logical forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan. It's this dynamic that keeps us invested in Bones.
