With the writers strike looming over us for an undetermined amount of time, it’s fair to be concerned about our favorite TV shows. My Tuesday night favorite TV shows are House and Bones. And to be honest, their future isn’t looking so good. They’re being moved to Friday nights.

Everyone knows that Friday nights is a bad TV sentence. Now, House will continue on Tuesday nights after American Idol, as usual, but as near as I can tell, it will only be playing reruns. The new episodes will all be playing alongside Bones on Fridays. And with limited new episodes, both House and Bones will be playing a mix of reruns and new episodes.

But on Friday nights! Why?

Do you remember, in high school or elementary school when you buried a time capsule to preserve what our culture was like when you buried it – cool toys, a dollar or two, whatever? Or maybe you had plans to open it with your friends in twenty or twenty-five years, to laugh at what was important in high school.

That’s exactly what happened in this week’s episode of Bones. While one man, Terry Stinson, is giving an introduction, two current high school students (including Terry’s son, Alex) are digging up a time capsule he and some friends buried. But instead of finding their memories and their things, they find bones of a former classmate, and some goop that looks as gross as I’m sure it smelled.

One of the characters, Gil Bates, tells Bones and Booth that the body wasn’t in the capsule when the it was sealed, and he’s sure of it because he did it himself. The team take the whole thing – body and time capsule – back to the Jeffersonian and drain it so they can see what’s inside. One of the graduates (from the year the capsule was sealed) is discovered inside: Roger Dylan. Who did it? Was it Gil after all? Was it Terry?

To make it even more confusing, a video of the ceremony shows that Roger was at the graduation ceremony. If he was in the capsule, how could he be at the ceremony? Although I entertained fleeting visions of a look-alike, Bones was much more original, of course. Oh, and this kid’s disappearance/death was never reported because his parents found a note that said he’d run away.

While returning to Gil for questioning, they learn that he and Roger were to start a video gaming company. Unlike the team, who had discovered the finished game and new it was amazing, Gil had had no idea there was a finished product. Back at the lab, Zach found a chip that was from the murder weapon, and some mosquito killer that was used in the town, near where Terry Stinson’s wife, Janelle used to live, so the team heads back to the Stinson’s house for questioning.

As it turns out, Roger used to tutor Janelle, and while she and Terry were “off” in their relationship, one thing led to another and she found herself pregnant with Roger’s baby. By the time she realized it, she and Terry were back “on” (gosh – high school relationships) again and she declined running away with Roger. Terry hadn’t known that Alex wasn’t biologically his son (removing himself from the equation), but said that for all intents and purposes, Alex was still his son – and he still loved him, and they’re still a family.

Gil, however, despite his protestations, had accidentally killed Roger when Roger told him about his relationship with Janelle. They had gone back to put a spoof of the capsule in the yearbook and Gil reacted violently and accidentally killed him with his shovel.

Hooked on the Fox network Television show “Bones?”

Here’s Emily Deschanel, doling out what it’s like to be Dr. Temperence Brennan, Bones’ and Booth’s (David Boreanaz) relationship, and what to expect in Season Three.
