Obviously, when Joss Whedon fans found out that he landed the directorial job of helming the movie, The Avengers, it was a good day for his fans. The collective of fans, called the Whedonverse, cheered.
But I just noticed, as I was perusing the credits of the movie, that Whedonverse fans can look forward to a few other little surprises!

ONES: Emily Deschanel as Dr. Temperance Brennan (L) and David Boreanaz as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (R)
Bones TV Series Spin-off
-
News on the web is that Fox is looking to create a spin-off series from the David Boreanaz & Emily Deschanel starrer, Bones.
The spin-off isn’t coming from anyone we’ve met in the show yet, but from a new character they’ll be introducing in the December 6th episode called Walter Sherman, and will be recurring thereafter.
The spin-off may or may not happen, it all depends on the actor snagged for the role. The character will be skeptical of everything, constantly asks irrelevant and offensive questions and has quite the ability to be able to find anything.
Eh… I get moving to a spin-off from a known commodity, but that last time Fox tried to create a spin-off from an new character they were introducing didn’t pan out at all… remember the PI from House? And what’s with this House-like personality trait?
Eh, we’ll see how it goes and who they get. [ TVGuide ]
