Well, I love it, but it is a bit quirky, and I don't know how you feel about murder mysteries. I own everything that's on DVD, so you can try it sometime if you like.

The basic premise is that some human remains are so destroyed that you need a lot of special skills to figure out who it was -- like gluing a hundred fragments back into a skull, and drawing what kind of face would have been over that shape of skull. There's the FBI agent, Boothe, who gets along well with most people and follows his gut (which is generally right), and Bones, who is hardcore scientist and socially awkward. It's a dramedy, and while fairly episodic, has enough awesome long term storylines that it's best to watch it in order (more long story arcs than Numbers or NCIS, less than Buffy or West Wing). It's fairly similar to Castle overall, but Bones has the awesome gender role swap. I could go on much longer, but it's probably better to watch a few episodes and see what you think. When I started watching it, I was intrigued right away, but I didn't fall in love with it until I'd finished the whole first season.
