Bones - Season 1

Gotta love this show. There's something for everyone in it. If you're a chick, there's David Boreanaz to drool over (I'm reliably informed) and if you're a guy, feel free to melt when Emily Deschanel is on screen. It's much more than eye candy, though. It's sharply written, fast faced and veers from black comedy to high drama at a break neck speed.
