I think I've met my TV-twin. I'm obsessed with all three shows (minus Sarah's character).

The entire time I was thinking it was a B+. I enjoyed the Ginny and Michelle developments in a vacuum, but Cozette and Frankie are poor characters, the Mel backstory is half-baked, etc.

She and Sasha are quite great at physical humor.

I wouldn't be too sympathetic — Ginny has always held an irrational contempt for Cozette, and I don't think Ginny's freakout was an in-the-moment thing as much as it was her irrational jealously of Cozette + the "shut-down" by Frankie.

Unfortunately, for anyone with any self-respect or any sort of intellect, Bones is not comfort food. There's Castle if you want comfort food.

Cozette and Frankie are still problem spots with this show, but Sutton Foster along in the latter-half of this episode makes it A-quality.

So no one caught the FNL/NBC reference in Truly's little rant on morning shows? haha, those are the little things that make me love this show

Buck's on the truck, driving the truck, buck truck. Truly funny stuff…

I can agree with that. But that was when the show still had the potential to develop its characters, and still had a touch of genuine emotion and reality. I liked up to season 3, with occasional things here and there. The season 6 finale is probably my favourite Bones episode ever, actually.

The show is beyond stupid, in terms of its stupidity index.

It's still terrible.

Not even Bunheads?

Situations like those are what DVRs are totally perfect for (although I am one of those people who schedules around TV).

It's #BundayMonday!

Bones is literally the most awkwardly paced, horribly plotted, remarkably inconsistent show on network TV. It's like Hanson wants to teach people lessons through Bones, but is just so klutzy in his writing that it falls totally flat.

This episode was great, but also quite interesting, and beyond typical Shameless-territory. I don't think this Molly-arc is gonna work out gracefully.

TWOP is the bane of TV existence. Almost as bad as the IMDB forums.

I disagree with your assertion, only because I believe that any insight isn't a product of the writers' underlying ideas or beliefs, but rather this audience's desire of over-analyze something that wasn't really meant to be dissected at such a low level of granularity.

I mean, think Cheers. I do believe it came from a place of love, wanting to hang out with the gang!

The network pays a licensing cost to the production studio. And that cost is ratings-dependent, or at least depending on what they project ratings to be.
