Nearly 20 years ago, “Bones” premiered on Fox. Now it’s time to go back and dig deeper! (Unlike the forensic excavation on the show, we don’t mean this literally.) Stars Emily Deschanel and Carla Gallo are taking you on a behind-the-scenes tour of the murders, the characters, the sometimes-grisly bodies, and everything else you never knew about the show. Launching September 18, from Lemonada Media.
Welcome back to the Jeffersonian! We'll be recapping each episode of Bones in order, so please join us today for a behind-the-scenes trip back to 2005 and the pilot of Bones. In this episode, Emily spills all the details of the Bones audition process and reveals how she landed the role of Dr. Temperance Brennan. Carla takes us on a highlight reel of the pilot’s sexiest moments (from Angela’s boobs to Brennan’s boobs and everything in between). And Emily shares the secret to her on-screen chemistry with David Boreanaz (Seeley Booth), which is palpable even from the very first episode of the show (we all saw that scene at the gun range).
The jury’s out on whether or not he’s king of the lab, but there’s no doubt about it – T.J. Thyne is the king of our hearts. Emily and Carla sit down (or should we say, snuggle up) with T.J. Thyne, their friend and Bones co-star who played the secretly rich bug and slime expert slash conspiracy theorist, Jack Hodgins, on all 12 seasons of the show. T.J. talks about how he got cast on Bones, his favorite memories from set, and his on-screen chemistry with Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro). Plus, T.J. tells the story of how he and Emily got in trouble while shooting the pilot episode of Bones.
This week on Boneheads, Emily Deschanel and Carla “Drama” Gallo unpack everything from the second-ever episode of Bones. They talk about the skin condition, they talk about the flesh-eating beetles, they talk about Tessa! Inspired by the episode's deadly affair, Carla reveals who (or, more accurately, what) she’s currently having a secret love affair with. Then, the duo takes us behind the scenes on the Fox lot, where they worked side-by-side with the casts of other hit shows like Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, and Arrested Development. And finally, an answer to the question we’ve all been asking – is Seeley Booth lactose intolerant?
Sex. Lies. Blackmail. Suicide. Or is it murder? All of this and more on this week’s episode of Boneheads, as Emily and Carla re-examine the case of Nestor Olivos, elite prep school student and son of the Venezuelan ambassador. They answer all your most pressing questions about those sex tapes – Was it awkward for the actors to film? What’s the deal with the eyeroll? And were they as kinky as Zack seemed to think they were? Plus, Emily tells the story of a surprise superstar musician coming to visit the set, which leads to a walk down memory lane of all the iconic musical guests from Bones (Cyndi Lauper, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Mötley Crüe, Heavy D). And, Emily and Carla answer your fan questions!
This week on Boneheads, we’re going inside the belly of the beast (literally). Emily and Carla take us on a trip to the most sexually charged town in America – Aurora, Washington – where they look back at the many interesting townsfolk Booth and Brennan encountered there, from hot delivery people to cannibalistic doctors. Emily sets the record straight on whether or not you can actually ship human remains in the mail, which, as we find out, she knows about from personal experience. Plus, Emily and Carla answer your fan questions about their favorite episodes from Season 1.
