Guilty Pleasure

Everyone has their guilty pleasure that they can never get enough of. Some admit what it is, while others try to hide it from others. I am not one to hide my guilty pleasures. Sure most of them are embarrassing but I guess that all my friends must accept my weirdness.

This year, my guilty pleasure has been the TV show Bones. I cannot stop watching it. Some days, when I don't have work, I can watch atleast 5 episodes of the show. I admit it isn't the best show ever written or made but I love it. It is my favorite show and it has me entranced. The fact that it has mystery of trying to find out who killed the victim, to the drama in the Smithonian lab, and the scientific touches, I love it all.

There is not one character that I am not intrigued in. Everyone brings something to the show and makes me laugh. I even liked the creepy character of Eps. The storyline of Eps was one of the most intriguing. It was also disturbing because in reality, there are serial killers out there similar to Eps. They kill for the fun of it and leave their marks of their "work."

I have also learned some about science. I haven't taken a science class since physics my junior year of highschool. Not all the science may be true in the show but it is interesting. In general, they keep it real and I learn some. Watching it with my friend who is a bio major is a whole other level because she is always one to point out in shows when something about science is incorrect. For Bones, there are not too many times where she does that.

Of course, the last and one of the greatest parts of the show is Booth. Back in the good old days I was obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I watched it religiously and loved Angel, so watching David Boreanaz in Bones is reminiscent. He is gorgeous and hilarious in the show. Plus the tension between Booth and his partner Bones is too much to handle. Everyone knows who watches the show that they are made for each other and it hurts to watch the show sometimes.

In conclusion to this mystery, science, funny, drama show is perfect. I can sit for hours watching it. I can even watch reruns. It is my guilty pleasure and I'm letting everyone know.
