Debuting on FOX in 2005, Bones is the crime drama depicting the shenanigans of forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan and her co-hort, F.B.I. Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). The show, which was just renewed for an eighth season, has been a highly successful production for FOX, drawing in almost a cult-like following amongst its watchers. Just why has the character of Bones resonated so much? As Deschanel explains her popularity, “Personally, I was really drawn to a very strong female character; an intelligent woman who is extremely good at her job but has trouble relating in her personal life to people beyond her area of scientific expertise.”
