HH Twitter 51: Jack Hodgins

Question : I was looking up Hodgins and found a Jack Hodgins that is actually a novelist. Is that why Hodgins was a novelist in the finale?

Response: Jack Hodgins the actual living novelist is my dearest friend and mentor. He is a serious literary writer, not a pulp novelist.

HH Twitter 50: Future Holds

Question: If I know Booth and Bones aren't getting together, why should I watch? Too much UST and I'll stop caring. I have to care.

Response: That's exactly why I won't tell anyone what the future holds. So they'll watch to find out. "They" being "you" in particular.

HH Twitter 49: Title of the Season 5 opener

Question: What is the title of the season 5 opener :) You gave us a bunch of titles and I'm curious which one is the opener.

Response: I have not titled it yet. I was thinking "The Beginning in the End" but it would be a big fat lie so ... no.

HH Twitter 48: BONES trivia

Question: Have any more crazy BONES trivia for us? (And is the title actually BONES as opposed to Bones?)

HH Response: I type BONES so I don't have to type "Bones" on Twitter and lose two characters out of 140. Does that count as trivia?

Reference: HH Twitter!!

HH Twitter 47: Translators

@HartHanson In the French version, Brennan and Booth are addressing "VOUS". Is this still the case also in the original version?

We don't really HAVE a formal "you" -- but I think that is a very good choice by our French translators.

HH Twitter 46: Stooges

The question: What's with the stooge references?

HH Response: Exec Producer Stephen Nathan has an unhealthy and inexplicable love for the Stooges. I humor Stephen because he's wonderful.

HH Twitter 44: Back From Vacation

Question: @HartHanson Are there any plans to bring back Marisa Coughlan as Agent Perotta next season, or is her time up?

HH Response: We hope to have her back. She was busy having a baby at the end of last season.

Question: @HartHanson Is there any link between Brennan's nickname and Leonard McCoy ? Nice to read that you had nice vacations !

HH Response: Oh, how I wish I'd thought of that! As it is I'm tempted to answer "yes". Can I say it SHOULD be true?

Ask Ausiello...Couple Brennan & Angela?

Question: Any more Bones scoop? Pretty please? --Charlee Ann

Ausiello: Since it doesn't look like Brennan and Booth will be having real sex anytime soon, how about Brennan and her bisexual BFF Angela? "We've never discussed that but I wouldn't put it past [producers]," says Emily Deschanel with a chuckle. "I feel like Brennan's the type of character that if she had feelings for a woman she wouldn't question that and she'd go for it. But it would be kind of complicated with her best friend."

The nomination . . . please!

Hart Hanson, executive producer of " Bones," has almost everything a show runner could want -- a hit series with a hot leading man and woman, praise from critics and a loyal and growing fan base.

But one day a year, Hansen laments what he hasn't got. On those annual mid-July mornings when the nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards are announced, Hanson always hopes to see his show among the list of award contenders. And he is almost always let down.

"It's very troubling to me," says Hansen, who was also a producer of "Joan of Arcadia" and "Judging Amy." "We're not in the zeitgeist. It's like we're invisible. I always look at the nominees with one eye open, and I'm always disappointed."

"Bones," after four seasons, ranks with several other popular or critically acclaimed (and in some cases, both) series, including " Ghost Whisperer," " Rules of Engagement," " Numb3rs," "Friday Night Lights" and "Criminal Minds" that rarely wind up with nominations or nods in marquee categories. While some series, such as " 30 Rock," " Lost," " Entourage," "The Office" and "24," are almost certain to get recognized each season, there are plenty of others that are consistently shut out of the race.

"In three seasons, we've never been nominated for anything," says Tom Hertz, executive producer of CBS' "Rules of Engagement," which has been a part of the network's successful Monday comedy block. "I don't know what they base their voting on. It seems like popularity and ratings aren't important."

The absence of recognition by industry peers also irks Ian Sander and Kim Moses, executive producers of CBS' "Ghost Whisperer." The drama, which stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Emmy winner Camryn Manheim ("The Practice") has notched solid ratings since its 2005 debut but has earned only two nominations -- in 2006 for music composition and in 2007 for main title design (the series lost both years).

Says Sander, "There's a certain part of everybody's ego in showbiz where they know it would be nice to be recognized. But it's also important to be recognized by our audience base, and that's what we've accomplished."

The producers of "Whisperer," "Engagement" and "Bones" agree that perceptions about their shows may have damaged their Emmy chances.

"I think the reason why we don't get recognized is because we don't take ourselves too seriously," Hansen says. "We're a 'crimedy' -- a mix between a crime show, a procedural and a comedy. The shows that seem to be honored all the time are the ones that take themselves very seriously, or do one thing very well."

Naturally, the producers all stand by their talent against any other regular Emmy contenders.

"Jennifer Love Hewitt is just incredible," Moses says. "She's in every scene, and it would be not only nice for her to get noticed, it would be appropriate." Sander adds, "Jennifer hits all the emotional notes that the show needs."

Hansen says he's particularly miffed that the stars of "Bones" -- David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel -- have never been nominated. "That really rankles me. These performers turn on a dime in every scene. I really think they should be in there."

He adds that he thinks "Bones" one day will get its Emmy due: "Maybe if the buzz gets loud enough if and when we get to our last season, we'll get honored for our body of work."

An Emmy would be particularly beneficial for "Rules of Engagement," says Hertz. "It would be a sure sign that it's a good show. I know how hard everyone works, and they deserve it. But if it doesn't happen, that's the way it goes. I'm fine without it."

Top Fall Time-Slot Battles

Interesting prediction of the battling time slots for fall:

Thursdays at 8 p.m: “Flash Forward” vs. “Survivor,” ”Bones” and NBC comedies: This is one of the oddest moves of the fall. A sci-fi’ish drama at 8 p.m. to lead into ABC’s female-heavy medical soaps? But the more you look at this one, the more it makes sense. The show brings unique content to the hour. “Lost” (which ABC also launched at 8 p.m.) has repeatedly proved to ABC that it’s a scheduling island; a drama largely ignoring its lead in and lead out. It’s not unreasonable to think “Forward” could draw a stand-alone audience here. Prediction: “Survivor” is still the favorite, but “Forward” will likely overthrow NBC’s comedies and possibly “Bones” as well.

RE: new format

You did look at this before you sent it out, didn’t you? I don’t think that the public is going to be very happy with this, especially considering the advance publicity you released. Thank God I’m used to the duplicity of marketing executives.

It’s a rather weak entry in the Temperance Brennan, Forensic Anthropologist series. You’re never going to option this as a television show unless you do some serious work on it.

Anyway, here is the summary (and my comments) on “Brennan and Booth Live Happily Ever After.”

Best and Worst Season Finales 2009

Worst: Bones 
Airdate: May 14, 2009 
This show has been on a downward spiral lately, culminating in this mess of an episode. Former cast members returned, Brennan and Booth finally got it on, and everyone did things that were out of character and pointless. It was made more pointless by the fact that the entire episode was in Booth's head, as he was comatose after brain surgery and he might have been picking up clues from something Brennan was writing, or maybe it was... a mess. And we were left with one final hint that Booth might have amnesia. Perhaps they could have thrown another cliché in there for good measure.

Matt Mitovitch Answers a Question

At the end of the Bones season finale, during the credits, the narrator said new episodes would return in the fall. — Tom

MATT: My, isn't Mr. Voice of Fox well-connected! But did he tell you this?: We have not seen the last of Booth's brother, Jared. "They're just starting to write next season now, but I would imagine he'll pop up," says Emily Deschanel. Noting that Jared's affinity for Temperance was "not exactly resolved" by season's end - and progressed not at all during the surreal finale - she believes "it would make sense for him to come back." .

I'd like to invite on board BoothFan21 AKA Misty and BonesinOz AKA Kim. I'm sorry I couldn't choose everyone. It was very hard. Then my hubby told me that I'd make a terrible boss. LOL. So, I chose Misty since she is always in the know and sending me links. BonesinOz is a prolific LJ blogger, so I've seen what she can do.
Again, I'm going to blubber and say I'm sorry I couldn't choose everyone!
It's a joint-effort now and I'm thankful for all of you!

Kathy Reichs Interview

Q. Ratings for “Bones” are consistently up. Do you keep track?

Yes, I do and you're right, the ratings are increasing steadily. We're now the second highest scripted drama on Fox, behind “House.” We are absolutely getting better, and I think Emily (Deschanel) and David (Boreanaz) are a wonderful pair.… We've blended a number of things that make the show unique. We have a dark subj

Q. Planning to do any acting in season five of “Bones”?

I'll probably do one next year. I'll write a script myself and the executive producers have suggested I write a little part for myself. I was reluctant to do it, but I really had a good time when I was on the show before. They may have created a monster.
