If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, you might want to start here.
This one is a twofer, mostly because before tuning in I lumped them both into categories that I just don’t watch: Medical Drama & Crime Drama.
House
I’m not big on medical shows – I’m afraid just watching them will give me a rash – so when I started watching House a little over a year ago it was purely for the Hugh Laurie factor. Don’t let the promos trick you, this is more than just a doctor with a terrible bedside manner. Ok, there’s plenty of that, but the best thing that the latest season has proven is that it’s okay with dynamic characters, which is practically primetime blasphemy. I support that.
Bones
I joined Bones two seasons in, a tardiness I mostly blame on my Post-Buffy mourning period. Suffice it to say, Boreanaz fares better outside a Whedon script, and I support anything Deschanel. The show is fun, Booth and Bones have a very Mulder and Scully thing going on, and yes, I like forensic anthropology. Unlike House, the icky stuff in Bones just isn’t so barfy to me. That said, the most recent season of Bones has been a real dud so far. Fingers crossed, I’m keeping it on the DVR for now.
