Staring Emily Deschanel (Cold Mountain) as Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan and David Boreanaz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth who work together to solve murder investigations where the usual methods of investigation are no longer applicable. 

Working at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Brennan's skill in determining the identities of the people beyond the bones (she can even figure out their occupation) means she is the one called in to help solve crimes with no other clues. Her methodical approach often rubs Booth up the wrong way, but with their combined skills and personalities they work to bring justice to those who's cases would otherwise rot away.

A dark comedy crime drama, the series is based loosely on work of Kathy Reichs, a novelist and forensic anthropologist. What sets Bones above other crime dramas is, according to USA Today, the show's 'traditional and solid foundation: the strength of its characters' and the great on screen chemistry of Deschanel and Boreanaz.
