Bones is an American crime drama television series that premiered on the Fox Network on September 13, 2005. The show is based on forensic science, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth to the forensic anthropology team of Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan. Emily Deschanel stars in the title role, along with David Boreanaz as Special Agent Seeley Booth. The rest of the cast includes Michaela Conlin, T. J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Tamara Taylor and John Francis Daley.

Created by Hart Hanson, the series is very loosely based on the life of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, who is a producer on the show. Its title character, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, is named after Temperance Brennan, the protagonist of Reichs' crime novel series. Bones is a joint production by Josephson Entertainment, Far Field Productions and 20th Century Fox Television

The show begins in the year 2005, and tells the story of a series of case files, solved weekly, by the unlikely alliance of Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan's forensic anthropology team at the Jeffersonian Institute (a thinly veiled allusion to the Smithsonian Institution) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. By examining the human remains of the murder victims, Dr. Brennan and her team provide scientific expertise and an outsider's perspective to the world of criminal investigation to the FBI. In addition to the murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of the major characters including the developing friendship and possibly romantic relationship between Brennan and Booth. The series has dark comedic undertones.
The concept of Bones was developed during the latter part of the pitching season of 2004 when 20th Century Fox approached series creator Hart Hanson with an idea for a forensics show. Hanson was asked to meet with executive producer Barry Josephson, who had purchased the rights to produce a documentary on the forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs. Although Hanson was reluctant about being involved in making a police procedural, he signed on and wrote the pilot episode after having an intensive meeting with Josephson about the show.[5] As the show is based on the works of Reichs, the writers constantly involve her in the process of producing the episodes' storylines.

In order to make Bones a unique crime drama in the midst of the multiple procedural dramas that already populated network television like the Law & Order and CSI franchises, Hanson decided to infuse the show with as much dark humor and character development as possible.[6] Another element conceived for the show was the "Angelator", a holographic projector whose use is to replace flashbacks that are often used by other procedural shows. In addition to their expositional purposes, the holographic images, which are created by visual effects, brought a unique visual style to the show that the producers were looking for
David Boreanaz was the first actor to be cast in Bones. Series creator Hart Hanson described the actors who had auditioned for the role of Seeley Booth as "pretty boy waifs" and immediately responded when the head of the studio, Dana Walden, suggested Boreanaz for the role. Boreanaz was offered the role but was unenthusiastic about getting involved after a difficult meeting with executive producers Barry Josephson and Hart Hanson, even though he thought the script was well written. However, after the producers contacted him again to convince him to accept the role, Boreanaz agreed to sign on and was cast as Seeley Booth.

Emily Deschanel was cast in the role of Temperance Brennan just before production began on the Bones pilot.After Deschanel finished the film Glory Road, the film's producer Jerry Bruckheimer recommended that she audition for Bones.Deschanel impressed Hart Hanson at her audition with her assertiveness. In a tense moment in the audition scene, David Boreanaz stepped closer to Deschanel. Deschanel held her ground rather than retreating. Hanson remarked that, in such a situation, "90% of actors would take a step back". Deschanel was subsequently cast in the role.

In Season 4, Eric Millegan (who played Zack Addy) was replaced by a succession of lab assistants. One — Scott Starett (played by Michael Badalucco, formerly of The Practice) — is much older than the typical grad student. Marisa Coughlan guest-starred in a few midseason episodes as FBI agent Payton Perotta, who was brought to the Jeffersonian as a temporary substitute for Booth when he was incapacitated
Most of Bones is filmed in Los Angeles, California, despite the fact that the show is mainly set in Washington, D.C., where the fictional Jeffersonian Institute is located. The interiors of the Jeffersonian Institute were specially built on a large soundstage at the 20th Century Fox lot in Century City, Los Angeles, California.The two-part fourth season premiere was filmed on location in London, United Kingdom.
The title sequence of Bones is usually shown near the beginning of the episode. Accompanied by the show's theme music, composed and performed by The Crystal Method, the sequence provides the credits of the show. Each episode usually begins with a cold open, which sets up the plot of the episode and can last from three to ten minutes before the title sequence is shown. The title sequence varies from season to season. The first season's title sequence mostly consists of scenes from the first five episodes of the series while the second season's title sequence is made up of scenes from the first season and early episodes of the second. The opening credits in the title sequence include the regular cast members of the respective seasons.
The soundtrack album titled Bones Original Television Soundtrack, produced by Maria Alonte McCoy and Billy Gottlieb, was released in 2008. It contains 13 songs recorded by popular artists for the show.

The fifth season premiered on September 17, 2009. The series has also been renewed through its sixth season

I am so far behind already with all the new dramas that came out when I was locked in the batcave. It is so frustrating that I can’t watch them online with the unbelievable buffering I got. Gosh, I wish I have a T1 for my net connection. Why wasnt I so addicted to asian drama when I had a full access to a T1 line. Back then I was able to download loads of songs in a matter of minutes.
Anyway, I was able to watch a couple of The Last Scandal of My Life and I was hooked. I think I am going to make recaps for the series. Ha ha ha…here I am planning to do another series when I haven’t finish Legend. Bad “recapper”! Can you blame me? Looking at BYJ makes my head spin…well..not literally, I’m no Linda Blair…creepy unforgettable scene in the Exorcist. My target was to write the 22nd and 23rd eps today but I got sidetracked. KJK’s out, bgurl? And so I dived into Youtube and had my fill of XMAN highlights again. Then I peek into some Love Letter episodes. Some of it was funny but some of the dancing sucks.

Somebody emailed me about a reality show about fake couples and they try to pretend that they are married or something and her favorite is Andy and Solbi. She was kinda stuttering in her email…that is the best way to describe her message, lol. I was lost. Was I away for sooo long? I haven’t googled it yet so I dont know anything about it. Tooizzy…any reviews on that?

Have I told you that I hate downloading videos? I like watching them online with hard subs, yeah shoot me…just kidding…I do appreciate the hardwork of those fan subbing teams for the non-korean/chinese/japanese speakers out there but I’m so lazy and I just dont have the time. After watching it, I just get the flash video file from the temp folder to share it with my sis and my mom. I love flash videos, the files are smaller but I sometimes convert it back to mpeg just so that I can watch it on my DVD and bigger screen. Crazy, right?! My real problem now is the buffering. Can’t do anything about it because I am too lazy to download huge files and besides I got no time for it now.

So, probably in the next few days or..err…weeks, I will be featuring some kdramas like The Last Scandal, Who Are You and a few more…not a full recap but maybe a review or something.
If you’re a regular reader, you know that I am addicted to BONES TV series. Wow, what a season ender. It is an american TV series that I am so passionate about. It does not have anything to do with asian dramas but I just want to mention it here. Try watching an episode and you’ll get hooked. Start with a fan made video about Booth and Bones and I guarantee you that you will fall in love with them…*sigh*

I also had my fill of past Korean movies and I enjoyed some of them but some are just too weird for my taste. Why can’t they make some normal stories with normal reactions from normal situations. Ha ha ha…I was able to watch a movie somewhat similar to Tom and Meg’s You Got Mail but there were boring parts but all in all it was okay. I forgot the title though…wait…I think the title is Who R U…

See you all guys tomorrow and hopefully I will get to post two Legend recaps and some new ones. Enjoy your weekend people! Bburps…thanks.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-series online,tv game show on ITV news,forum

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is a television quiz show which offers very large cash prizes for correctly answering 15 (some versions, 12) consecutive multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty. The format is owned and licensed by the Japanese production company Sony Pictures Television International. The maximum cash prize (in the original British version) is one million pounds. Most international versions offer a top prize of one million units of the local currency, though the actual value of the prize varies widely, depending on the currency's exchange rate. In the United States the top cash prizes have been changed to annuities.

The programme originated in the United Kingdom, where it is hosted by Chris Tarrant. It is based on a format devised by David Briggs, Steve Knight and Mike Whitehill, who also devised a number of the promotional games for Chris Tarrant's breakfast show on Capital FM radio. The original working title for the show was Cash Mountain. When it first aired in the UK on 4 September 1998, it was a surprising twist on the game show genre. Only one contestant plays at a time (similar to some radio quizzes) and the emphasis is on suspense rather than speed. In most versions there are no time limits to answer the questions and contestants are given the question before they must decide whether to attempt an answer.

In 2000, a board game based on the hit television series of the same name was released by Pressman Toy Corp. In March 2006, original producers Celador announced that it was seeking to sell the worldwide rights to the show, together with the UK programme library, as the first phase of a sell-off of the company's format and production divisions. Dutch company 2waytraffic acquired Millionaire and the rest of Celador's programme library. Two years later, Sony Pictures Entertainment purchased 2waytraffic for £137.5m. The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire franchise is the most internationally popular television franchise of all time, having aired in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Get ready for some big tears as Chris Tarrant's latest game show, The Colour of Money, premieres on ITV tonight.

Billed as the 'most stressful game show on TV', Tarrant said the programme is the most 'tense and emotional' he has ever been involved in.

20 specially designed cash machines are pre-programmed to dispense secret amounts of cash, ranging from £1,000 to £2,000. Contestants have to keep their nerve to reach a pre-determined target by withdrawing cash from the machines before they run out of money.
If they do not hit their target exactly, they do not win a penny. The format is so difficult it was reported that potential players have to go through a medical before they can appear on the show.

Tarrant, 62, told The Guardian, 'Having spent many thousands of hours of my life in television studios, I've never seen so many tears,' he said.

'The tension was frequently unbearable. Obviously the money is a major factor, it always is. It's not a £1million but on any show there was a possibility to win something in excess of £100,000 and, certainly in the current climate, that is very serious cash.'

Tarrant added that the show is similar to Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, which he also hosts on ITV. Both have the 'shoutability' factor, meaning that people will be yelling at their television screens.

'The machine just starts going, "£1,000... £2,000.... £3,000", meanwhile the audience are screaming, "For God's sake stop!," he said.

'The families are on the sides shouting, "What are you doing? You silly cow!"'

The Colour of Money was created by David Young, the man behind the BBC's The Weakest Link, and ITV bosses are said hoping to repeat the success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.

That has been on television for 10 years and has aired in 100 countries worldwide.

Chairman Michael Grade is reported to be banking on the new show to raise millions in sales from abroad after the company missed out by not owning the rights to Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, according to reports.

Question: What is the greatest TV game show of all time? Answer: Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Research among 2,400 TV addicts found Who Wants to be a Millionaire? was best loved for Tarrant's hosting skills, its tough questions and big-money prize.

Runner-up in the best game show of all time poll is Noel Edmonds' Deal or No Deal, loved for its gripping competitiveness.

And in a 'quite interesting' third place is the intellectual comedy panel show QI, hosted by Stephen Fry with regulars Jo Brand and Alan Davies.

At four is Family Fortunes, which while not quite the top answer in the poll, is still a firm family favourite nearly 30 years on from when it started.

Catchphrase hosted by Roy Walker and the animated Mr Chips make it to number five, while University Challenge makes position number six, despite few viewers knowing the answers to any of the boffin-like questions.

Sharing seventh place is The Crystal Maze and Mastermind, named as top for testing contestants memory and specialist knowledge.

At number eight is Anne Robinson's sharp-tongued The Weakest Link, while A Question of Sport and Countdown are named nine and ten respectively.

Matt Owen, a spokesperson for Churchill Insurance, said: 'The nation loves game shows - they are a great source of entertainment and something the whole family can enjoy together.

'There's a great selection coming out of our game show charts, with the oldies not always necessarily being the best, but with all of them proving that you can really depend on a British game show for light entertainment.'

Voters were also asked which TV game shows they would most like to see brought back.

Topping the list was The Crystal Maze, followed by Catchphrase, Blockbusters, Bullseye and The Generation Game.

Sargon de Jesus has always been a trivia buff and a fan of game shows that test trivia smarts. So when he earned an appearance on the popular TV game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, de Jesus was "totally psyched" and ready to take his shot at some big money.

Busy man

As someone who has cultivated a vast array of interests and talents, de Jesus possesses a broad and varied base of experience upon which to draw.

The 24-year-old, who has nemaline myopathy (NM), holds a bachelor's of science degree in geological sciences and literary translation and a master's in geological sciences, both earned at Brown University in Providence, R.I. A Washington, D.C., resident, he works as a science writer for an environmental consulting firm, making technical science "digestible and understandable to the general public." Raised bilingual (English and French), he also does some freelance translating.

De Jesus co-founded the nation's first collegiate whistling choir called "Lip Service," sings in an a cappella group that goes by the name "Suspicious Cheese Lords," and "calls" instructions at contra dances (a type of folk dancing that blends elements of swing, line and square dancing).

He also enjoys photography and "being outside and seeing the natural world," and has turned an interest in hiking into a personal challenge to climb to the highest point in the lower 48 states. So far, de Jesus has managed 15 high points, some of which are high peaks, one of which was "just a street corner."
To the "hot seat"

On Sept. 9, de Jesus taped what would be split into two Millionaire episodes, broadcast Oct. 1 and Oct. 2, 2009.

It was "exciting and surreal" to spend the day on the set, he says, "a blast."

"Once I got there I was dreadfully nervous!" de Jesus says of the “hot seat” where contestants attempt to answer a succession of questions in their bid for $1 million.

He successfully answered the first two questions before time ran out for the episode, then moved on to the third question at what would mark the beginning of the Oct. 2 episode.

"You lose about 50 IQ points due to nervousness when you're sitting there," de Jesus jokes. "You begin to second-guess yourself."

In fact, de Jesus did second-guess himself on the $3,000 question, which was: Which of these children's games traditionally ends when someone reaches "tensies"? A: Simon Says, B: Leapfrog, C: Hopscotch, D: Jacks. Although he was reasonably confident the answer was "D," he used one of his "lifelines" and polled the audience for reassurance.

He was tripped up two questions later when asked: Singing about the state where she was born, Faith Hill had a hit song in 2005 with what title? A: Minnesota Girl, B: Pennsylvania Girl, C: Mississippi Girl (correct answer), D: Oregon Girl.

De Jesus asked to use another lifeline with only a few seconds left, having forgotten that the particular lifeline he'd requested was not yet available to him. "It was a sort of disconnect," he notes. Time ran out before de Jesus could choose another lifeline, and he walked away with $3,000 in winnings.

Although he admits his first reaction at an early exit was disappointment, de Jesus says he's grateful for the experience and definitely would do it again.

"I got some pocket change out of it," he adds, noting that he plans to save his earnings or maybe enclose the balcony in his new apartment.

"Either way," he says, "I appreciate the experience."

One of my greatest fears in life is to miss one of the first five questions on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and leave with $0.

Today, I still have anxieties about this when I'm awake and nightmares about it when asleep ... despite the fact that I already appeared on the show, did not miss any of the first five questions, and am ineligible to ever be in the hot seat again.

(Side note: Backstage, the producers on the show assured us contestants that the first five questions are designed so all contestants can reach the $1000 milestone. While this was intended to be comforting, they only exacerbated my fears of missing a question that every elementary school student knows. It was the equivalent of having Meredith precede a question with, "Ok, only a tard would miss this next question.")

The nightmares flare up after I see an actual Millionaire contestant live out my horror scenario and leave with no money.

This happened two nights ago when John-Anthony Cavanagh, a New York doorman, missed the $500 question.

What was unusual about Mr. Cavanagh's situation, however, is that I think the question he missed was patently unfair.

His $500 question was:
Q: "Whittle a stick to a sharp point" is one of the first steps in which of these traditional camping activities?"

A. Roasting marshmallows
B. Cleaning a fish
C. Collecting firewood
D. Pitching a tent
He thought about it for a second and answered D. Final answer.

There were no gasps from the audience.

When Meredith told him the correct answer was A, he conjured up a familiar look of horror that compelled me to take a photo of my television:
Let me begin by saying that I respect the writers on Millionaire. Their questions are consistently creative, thoughtful, and detailed, avoiding the ambiguities that often surface when most amateurs write trivia questions.

But the $500 question above is inexcusable because A and D are both correct answers.

While a stick with a sharp point is undoubtedly useful for roasting a marshmallow (if you don't have a skewer), it's also useful for pitching a tent (if you don't have a peg).

Normally, the Millionaire writers include some extra bit of information -- e.g., "Kraft's Jet Puffed brand's packaging states that ..." or "According to campfire.com, ...-- to ensure that only one answer is correct. But there's nothing that clearly eliminates D as a reasonable answer.

Granted, a person could concoct explanations for how a sharp stick might be useful in cleaning fish (Choice B) or collecting firewood (Choice C). But that would require a serious leap and a creative imagination.

In contrast, it takes no work to imagine how a sharp stick would be useful in anchoring a tent. In fact, as a former Boy Scout, I'm sure that I once found myself short a tent peg and used a sharp stick to replace it.

If John-Anthony Cavanagh is anything like me, he's going to be reliving that nightmare every few minutes. Especially if he Googles himself and discovers my photos of his fifteen seconds in the spotlight of national humiliation. But he owes it to himself to appeal.

In conclusion, John-Anthony Cavanagh deserves a second chance in that Millionaire hot seat and I need to find better things to do with my time.

Originally broadcast on successive evenings for around ten days, it now appears weekly on ITV in a primetime slot on Saturday evenings, and also occasionally on Tuesday evening. The show lasts for one hour (including commercial breaks). The first contestant was Graham Elwell, who won £64,000.

As of January 2006 it is in its 19th series, over 400 shows having been screened. At its peak in 1999 the show pulled in up to 19 million viewers (an astonishing one in three of the British population), often when it only had a half-hour timeslot, before declining to around eight million by 2003. Current ratings as of 2006 are around six million in the UK.

In a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted for by industry professionals, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was placed 23rd.
Members of the public apply to appear on the show by calling a premium rate telephone number or sending a premium rate text message. Applications can also be made at the ITV website, via a system of £1 "credits" as well as through a contestant casting audition. Such auditions are held around the UK at various locations. Contestants are chosen from the large number of applicants through a combination of random selection and ability to answer test general knowledge questions.

In one series the audience were asked to vote (secretly) on every question, and their answers were revealed, for interest only, after the question had been answered. This feature has been abandoned but the host does, however, sometimes reveal the answer chosen by the contestant's friend sitting in the audience.

Tarrant's catchphrases on the show include "Is that your final answer?", "But we don't want to give you that" (meaning that he would like the contestant to go on and win even more money), and more recently at the end of the show, "But the cashpoint is now closed for tonight".

Unlike most other versions of the show around the world, whenever a contestant answers an early question incorrectly and wins nothing, there is no on-screen text stating it. Tarrant usually reminds contestants of this possibility after answering the £500 question correctly, as they now stand at the last point at which they could go home with nothing. It has happened only seven times in the show's history, and in all but one case, the £0 winners missed the £1,000 question.
