• BRENNAN AND BOOTH HAVE ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATE AS FOX DELIVERS AN EIGHTH SEASON OF “BONES” It’s a Girl! BONES Returns with a New Arrival on the First of Seven All-New Episodes Monday, April 2, on FOX FOX has renewed the hit series BONES for its upcoming eighth season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Over the past seven seasons, Hart Hanson, Stephen Nathan and the incredible BONES cast and crew have redefined the traditional crime procedural with an irreverent and adventurous sensibility and I’m really happy to have this distinctive, fan-favorite on our schedule for another season,” Reilly said. BONES returns with seven in a row, all-new episodes on a new night and at a new time beginning Monday, April 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). In the first of these episodes, “The Prisoner in the Pipe,” the remains of an escaped convict are found in a residential sewer, but an examination of the sewer pipes indicates that the murder occurred within prison walls. When Brennan (Emily Deschanel) insists on solving the crime – despite Booth’s (David Boreanaz) pleas for her not to overexert herself – the expectant couple experience a very untraditional arrival of their baby daughter. During the upcoming eighth season, BONES will celebrate its 150th milestone episode. BONES is a darkly amusing procedural centered on a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who can read clues left behind in victims’ bones and an FBI agent. These unlikely partners take on homicide cases involving human remains that most forensic specialists can’t handle. The series stars Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, TJ Thyne, Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor and John Francis Daley. BONES is from Far Field Productions and Josephson Entertainment in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Hart Hanson. Hanson, Stephen Nathan, Ian Toynton, Barry Josephson and Carla Kettner are executive producers. “Like” BONES on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/Bones .

• Dear Friends and Those Who Pretend to Be Friends (you know who you are, but we pretend to love you anyway), We're very excited about BONES moving to its new night and time beginning Monday, April 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, which makes us feel like the show is premiering for the second time in one season. Next season we hope for three or maybe four premieres, but for now two will have to do. Of course, we wanted you to be the first people to see this all-new episode since it's another game-changer for the show. This season, we have brought Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth (David Boreanaz) together as a couple, something many thought would be the kiss of death for the show. But we thought, "'Moonlighting' be damned." Since Bruce Willis had hair then, that means that it was so long ago, no one even remembers that show. Happily, because of the wonderful Emily and David, it turns out that Booth and Brennan are a great couple that the audience seems to be enjoying more than ever. And with the arrival of the baby in this episode, we think the fans will be even more pleased. So here we go - a new baby, new conflicts, new murders, and in this episode, even a lovely prison riot. We could go on, but that would just delay you from watching the show. So enjoy. And thanks for all your support. - Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan Executive Producers, BONES

  BRENNAN IDENTIFIES WITH A VICTIM ON “BONES” THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, ON FOX
  Katheryn Winnick (“Love and Other Drugs”) and Enrico Colantoni (“Flashpoint”) Guest-Star
  Brennan gets a glimpse into her own life when the body of a brilliant and career-driven surgeon is found in a rough neighborhood with multiple fractures in her skull and no indication as to how or why she was there. While the team investigates the case objectively, Brennan struggles to separate her own life from the victim’s as she perceives many parallels between them the more she learns about the victim’s past. Meanwhile, evidence found at the crime scene brings the team closer to solving the case, but it’s Brennan’s unique perspective that propels her to retrace the final events of the victim’s life. With the reassurance of a new friend and Jeffersonian security guard, Micah Leggat (guest star Enrico Colantoni), Brennan makes a discovery about herself and learns a lesson about taking chances in the “The Doctor in the Photo” episode of BONES airing Thursday, Oct. 27 (8:00-9:00 PM) ET/PT on FOX.

Upon meeting the victim’s teammates, including an arrogant 12-year-old bowling prodigy, it becomes apparent there could be many suspects in the case. Meanwhile, a very pregnant Angela anticipates her labor at any moment, but continues to work diligently via webcam to identify the murder weapon from the hospital in the “The Change in the Game” episode of BONES airing Thursday, Oct. 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

  THE TEAM DEBUNKS THE MURDER OF A MYTHBUSTER AND HONESTY IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY ON “BONES” THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, ON FOX
  Jo Anne Worley (“Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”) and Ryan Cartwright Guest-Star
  The remains of a mythbuster television show host are found in the wilderness appearing to have been killed by the mythic Chupacabra, a reptile-mammal hybrid creature whose existence has not been confirmed. The team soon learns that the victim traveled to the remote West Virginian area to debunk the Chupacabra myth, and they interrogate possible suspects, including a rival wilderness-channel host/cryptozoologist/pet psychic (guest star Jo Anne Worley). But when a tape is recovered at the crime scene and peculiar tooth marks are found in the victim’s remains, the team learns new details about the victim’s demise. Meanwhile, recovering alcoholic squint Vincent Nigel-Murray (guest star Cartwright) makes amends with each member of the team and makes some surprising confessions. Then in the second hour, the team identifies the remains of a successful ad man found in the grounds of a newly built community center playground. Upon inspecting the victim’s home and interrogating his former partner and employer, Booth and Brennan discover that the victim burned bridges by adopting an aggressive attitude toward honesty and was a member of a radical honesty support group. Meanwhile, each of the team members attempts to adopt a more honest way of communicating that doesn’t always lend itself to good relationships, and Angela urges Hodgins to confront the realities of their pregnancy in the “The Truth in the Myth/The Pinocchio in the Planter” two-hour episode of BONES airing Thursday, Sept. 8 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

• FOX GREENS IT AND MEANS IT DURING EARTH WEEK
  Go green with FOX this Earth Week! As part of Fox Broadcasting Company’s ongoing “Green It. Mean It.” campaign, an initiative designed to raise both viewer and employee awareness of environmental issues, FOX talent, shows and employees are stepping up their efforts to help preserve our planet. In addition to the numerous eco-friendly activities that the network and its sister companies support year-round, FOX’s Earth Week plans this year include:
  · FOX Talent “Green Tips”: During Earth Week, FOX talent, including Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Beals, Chris Colfer, Martha Plimpton, Christian Slater and Joshua Jackson, will appear in network and affiliate on-air promos offering viewers helpful “Green Tips” on how to establish a more sustainable lifestyle. Tune in throughout the week to HOUSE, GLEE, RAISING HOPE, AMERICAN IDOL, BONES, FRINGE and other series to learn more about environmental issues and what you can do to help. In addition, these “Green It. Mean It.” talent tips were provided to more than 2,000 radio stations for use in all day-parts throughout the month of April.
  · www.fox.com/greenitmeanit : To better support the network’s greening efforts, FOX has revamped and re-launched http://www.fox.com/greenitmeanit, the network’s dedicated “Green It. Mean It.” website. The site hosts videos, photos and information to help viewers track the network’s achievements and learn how they, too, can make a difference. Additionally, in an effort to promote environmental awareness and energy efficiency, www.americanidol.com  will turn its homepage black for Earth Day on Friday, April 22. The AMERICAN IDOL finalists also share their green tips exclusively at http://www.americanidol.com/
  · Local Grocery Tote Giveaway: On Wednesday, April 20, FOX employees will take shifts distributing free reusable “Green It. Mean It” grocery tote bags outside of Ralphs supermarket at 10309 West Olympic Blvd. in Los Angeles to encourage shoppers to avoid using paper or plastic when carrying their groceries.
  · Habitat For Humanity Build: FOX is a proud partner of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles. On Thursday, April 21 in Long Beach, CA, FOX employees will join the organization in constructing affordable housing for a family in need, using recycled and sustainable materials.
  FOX Talent “Green Tips” are available at http://www.fox.com/earthday  for viewing and sharing across social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Examples include:
  From BONES Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT):
  * Emily Deschanel – “Don’t know what to do with your old computer? You’re not alone. Only half of our states make retailers take back old devices for proper recycling. If your state isn’t one of them, email a local legislator to talk about a “Take-Back Law” in your area.”
  * David Boreanaz – “Turning off the tap while you brush your teeth could save you up to five gallons a day. If each of us made this small change, the savings could add up to 1.5 million gallons: equal to what New York City consumes in 24 hours.”
  FOX’s Earth Week initiatives are only a small part of FOX’s ongoing “Green It. Mean It.” campaign. For the past six years, FOX has hosted the FOX Fall Eco-Casino party, a benefit for various eco-friendly charities, including The Nature Conservancy, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, Global Green USA, among others. Last year, FOX donated two solar panels, previously used on the AMERICAN IDOL finale red carpet, to schools in Los Angeles and New York. This spring, FOX will donate the solar panel from its most recent Emmy Awards red carpet to an additional school. In addition, the Environmental Media Award-winning TEEN CHOICE AWARDS annually implements numerous “green” initiatives, including the use of solar and natural gas power, a Woolly Pocket vertical garden as a step-and-repeat and, in a red carpet first, cyclists generating power to cool talent and the media.
