Bones Episode Recap: "The Critic in the Cabernet"

This week on Fox's Bones, as the team investigated the death of a wine critic, Bones found herself intoxicated by the idea of having a baby — and tapped Booth to be her create-a-family guy! His reaction was quite animated, to say the least. Here's our recap:

A group of friends are wrapping up a tasting at Sean Mortensen's winery when they stumble upon a cask with an extremely full body — meaning, a decomposed corpse lay inside. Gives new meaning to the term "mouth feel," though truth be told probably none of the vic's mandible could fit through the spigot.

Cut to Booth and Bones in a session with Sweets, who suggests a round of word association to ...  read full recap

  • Poll: Did Bones, Grey's, House or Heroes Most Jump the Shark? | Jump the Shark | 6/10/2009

    We asked which shows Jumped the Shark this season, and TVGuide.com readers told us. By a wide margin, they pointed most often to Heroes, House, Bones and Grey's Anatomy. Some even snickered and laughed while doing so.

    So now we need help again. Vote in our poll on which of these shows is the biggest Shark Jumper of this past season. read more 70 Comments

  • Fall TV: Fox Picks Bones Up for Two More Seasons | Today's News: Our Take | 5/16/2009
    Capping one of the upfront season's most prolonged back-and-forths over the licensing fee paid by the network to the studio, Fox has decided to renew Bones — for a fifth and sixth season.

    Executive producer Hart Hanson announced the pick-up on Saturday, via his Twitter account. Later, Hanson confirmed that Fox had ordered not just one but two more seasons.

  • House, Bones, Grey's Have Sex Dreams... But Not Sex | Jump the Shark | 5/15/2009

    Look, we have unrealistic dreams of our own. We don't need to see the unrealistic dreams of the imaginary people on TV, too. That's just too many steps removed from anything we might ever care about.

    So we're underwhelmed by the new hallucinatory sex trend sweeping this season: House and Cuddy and Bones and Booth ended the will-they-or-won't-they speculation in their respective finales, and Grey's Anatomy introduced Izzie's brain tumor by having her have sex, loudly and often, with the very-dead Denny. (In so doing, the show also made the first-ever argument in favor of cancer. Bad.)

    All the sex was pretend. Or set in an alternate dream-world. Or something. read more 17 Comments

  • Ratings: Which of 11 Finales Delivered the Biggest Bang? | Today's News: Our Take | 5/15/2009

    Thursday's ratings rundown:

    8 pm/ET
    Survivor topped the hour with an audience of 12 million total viewers, on par with last week. Bones' surreal season-ender scored 8.7 mil, up a tick. Ugly Betty dropped 9 percent to claim third with 6.83 mil.

    While NBC's Earl (4.8 mil) wrapped up its season with a 370K gain, Parks & Recreation (4.25 mil) concluded its freshman run with another (8 percent) drop. Smallville saw 3.16 mil (down 180 thou) pull up a chair for the [cough] "epic" clash.

    9 pm
    Grey's Anatomy's two-hour, two-jaw-dropper season finale drew 16.35 million viewers — marking the serial's largest audience since the Sept. 25 opener and a week-to-week gain of a mil. CSI's finale followed with 14.42 mil.

    Trailing the Hell's Kitchen closer (7.4 mil), NBC's The Office welcomed 6.72 mil to the company picnic (down 13 percent), while 30 Rock (5.66 mil) dropped 8 percent.

    Supernatural's Dean and Sam had 2.9 mil (up 100K) at their side as they braved an apocalyptic finale

    10 pm
    Placing second behind Grey's, CSI: NY's wacky little Thursday season-ender copped 12.84 mil, up 600 thou from its Wednesday outing. Facing outrageously stiff competition, NBC's Southland plummeted 29 percent, to 4.64 mil.

    Some 59 minutes before serving up a major twist regarding Booth's recuperation from brain-tumor surgery, the Bones season finale gave fans a taste of what they've hungered for — the partners-in-crimesolving canoodling in bed together.

    Ah, but there was a catch, as had been telegraphed by producers in the weeks prior. The bedroom antics were ... read more 106 Comments

Premise: A scientist with an `uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones' solves murders in a procedural series inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs. Scientist Brennan is often teamed with FBI Special Agent Booth, who mistrusts science and believes evidence should come from the living. The Brennan-Booth pair have drawn favorable comparisons to Scully and Mulder of 'The X-Files.'
