The show "Bones" on Fox. Who writes this crap? This is one of the worst non-reality shows I've ever seen. Or perhaps I should say that the first ten minutes of the two episodes so far have been horrible. That's all I can stomach.
The dialogue is atrocious, such as last night's "Come on, Bones, we all die a little bit on one like this." And the whole premise, intriguing at first, is somewhat ludicrous when you stop and consider it. Excuse me, but I think if someone has just detonated a car bomb in Washington, DC, perhaps the first person on the scene should not be a forensic anthropologist.
You say that a prominent Arab leader (and friend of the President) may have detonated the car bomb but you're not sure if the corpse is him? Here's an idea: have some rookie gather the goddamned teeth and call the Arab leader's dentist. Case closed. ...Or go through an elaborate and highly dubious process to holographically recreate the person, whichever you prefer.
Also notable is the show's alarming grasp of Washington, DC geography. In the premiere, we see a plane land with the Washington Monument in the background. For anyone remotely familiar with DC, this is Reagan National Airport but the captions onscreen say "Dulles International Airport." Why not just say it's National? And, en route to the crime scene, the characters must be teleporting or something because they criss-cross between locations in D.C., Northern Virginia, and some unfamiliar places that I assume are Vancouver or some other cheaper-to-film city in Canada.
No one will be exhuming this corpse when its 13 episodes are up.

That looks like one show I will NOT be watching... thanks for the heads up!~!
Don't call me bones. Call me "sucka" for sitting through the first episode.
I can't believe that this show is so bad, it is not even really enjoyable...I was hoping it would at least be funny bad, instead...it is just painfully bad!
