Minor spoilers toward the end and lots of fun Bones trivia! Great article.
Stephen Nathan doesn't use the typical approach most executive producers of hit TV shows do -- ratings or awards -- to measure a show's success. In the case of Fox's "Bones," which celebrates its 100th episode Thursday, Nathan uses another criterion.
"There's a bit of tongue-in-cheek to every episode," he says. "We're winking at the audience when we show a body that's truly horrific. We know if we see the Twitter boards where someone says,
'I couldn't eat my dinner!' we're doing something right."
