BONES (Thurs July 31, Seven – 8:30pm)

When it’s not drumming up unintentional laughs by having lab-bred mealworms strip the flesh from a carcass (mealworms eat flour) or feeding a blood stain to a ‘special beetle’ (a Haemostick is much quicker and easier to carry in your pocket), BONES boasts some nice acting from Forensic Anthropologist Doctor Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), whom, when not pronouncing an obviously male pelvis female or holding an arm bone the wrong way up, has some genuine camaraderie with ex-BUFFY walking corpse-turned-corpse-investigator David Boreanaz as Agent Booth, who can’t seem to investigate a crime with his shirt on (no complaints here).
