DVD Reviews of Bones: The Complete First SeasonDVD Review: Good, but..................... Summary: 4 StarsI will not dwell on the content as other reviewers have done this admirably, There are 3 main criticisms
1) Double sided "Plain" discs....... very cheap and for a show as good as this, why?
2) No "Play All" feature, one of the reasons people buy TV show DVD's such as this is No Commercial breaks and being able to watch multiple episodes back to back in one sitting, so in this instance I have to > go to main menu, then click play on the next episode.
EDIT; The above 2 issues have been addressed in Season 2
3) the Title intro seems really loud as opposed to the actual episode content itself, I found myself turning down the volume each time, then turning it back up again?
Otherwise its fine as advertised
DVD Review: Incredible First Season Summary: 5 StarsI am absolutely taken with this show. It stands out from other forensic programs as it focuses more on relationships than the cases themselves. This makes this show much more re-watchable. The casting is fabulous, although I did have a little trouble adjusting to David Boreanaz in the role of Booth at first. The characters are lively and outrageous, and when put together create some very interesting moments. The only thing I'd criticize are the inconsistencies. One minute Bones is too literal to understand a joke, but later one she makes one herself. Zack is even more literal, but occassionally we hear him say things like "Be Kind, Rewind". There are a lot of great episodes with tons of character development in this season, namely the Christmas episode - "The Man in the Fallout Shelter", and "Two Bodies in the Lab". The special features are great as well, especially David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel's commentary over the "Two Bodies in the Lab" episode. The further seasons are great, but none compare to the first.
DVD Review: Five star show!! Summary: 5 StarsI have liked Bones from the start; I've missed some of the episodes here and there so I really look foreword to any complete season coming out on DVD.
Double sided discs or not, in fact I like it better because it takes up less space, maybe that's what whey were think then they produced it?? Keep up the great work!

DVD Review: So much fun! Summary: 5 StarsThis show is so much fun to watch. It's great how the show seamlessly combines crime solving with character driven stories. Season One is particularly fun to watch because you can go back and see where the characters started and then realize how well they've been developed over the years. Of course, having Zach appear is a definite added bonus!
DVD Review: Wonderful Summary: 5 StarsThis was of great quality and I really enjoyed this season and it came in great amount of time it did not take long to get to me:)
Description of Bones: The Complete First SeasonDavid Boreanaz (Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) stars as F.B.I. Agent Seeley Booth, who teams up with forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) to solve some of the most baffling and bizarre crimes ever. Booth depends on clues from the living, witnesses and suspects, while Brennan gathers evidence from the dead, relying on her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the bones of the victims. Their different investigative styles cause the two to frequently clash, creating an undeniable chemistry and just the right touch of dark humor. Inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs and state-of-the-art criminal investigation procedures, Bones is a compelling, cutting edge television. A taut series filled with drama as well as great chemistry between its two lead stars, Bones is a strong addition to Fox's television lineup. Debuting in 2005 to favorable critical reviews, the series shares an audience of fans with the CSI franchise. Smartly written and well-acted, the first season of Bones focuses on the collaborations between FBI special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), whom Booth somewhat sarcastically nicknames "Bones." Each of the 22 episodes follows a premise well-known to regular viewers of crime dramas--a murder has been committed and a body found. The team's job is to figure out who the victim is, how he or she was killed, and how it was done; that part doesn't differ from other shows on television. What sets the show apart is the humor injected into the episodes (Boreanaz is particularly good at delivering wry lines). There's some wicked humor in the episode focusing on Brennan's attempts at dating, which is nicely offset by the horrific crimes she has to deal with. And for a show with such attractive leads, Bones doesn't make a huge point of dwelling on any possible attraction between the pair. Rather, it takes advantage of their playful bantering, which is more akin to that of bickering siblings than repressed lovers--for this season, anyhow. The series is inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs (who stars in one of the featurettes on the four-disc set). In a nice play on art imitating reality, Kathy Reichs also is the name of the heroine in the murder mysteries that Dr. Brennan writes on the side. By the end of the season, viewers will learn enough about the characters to care, but not enough to completely understand why they are the way they are. That is an ongoing mystery. --Jae-Ha Kim Beyond Bones: The Complete First Season  More "Edge-of-your-Seat" TV DVDs |  Break No Bones: A Novel (Temperance Brennan Novels) |  24: Season 5 | Meet the Characters of Bones: The Complete First Season (click for larger image)  Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz)is a former Army sniper who mistrusts science and scientists - the "squints," as he calls them, who pore over the physical evidence. |  Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel)is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and writes novels as a sideline. |  Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin), earthy and bawdy, is Brennan's friend and fellow scientist. |  Zach Addy (Eric Millegan), is a young prodigy whose genius IQ actually gets in the way of his finishing the several doctorates he has begun. |  Dr. Jack Hodgins (J Thyne), is an expert on insects, spores and minerals, but conspiracy is his hobby. | Stills from Bones: The Complete First Season (click for larger image)
