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 ]

If you enjoyed Victor from Dollhouse, played by Enver Gjokaj, I thought you’d like to know about Gjokaj has a new project coming up.

Enver Gjokaj’s next project is called Previously on Point Dume and it’s referred to as a tongue-in-cheek web-series.  I’ve seen where it’s also been referred to as Twin Peaks meets Clue.  It’s a series based on recap clips from a supernatural soap opera.

Joss Whedon's DOLLHOUSE

Just thought I’d pass along the reminder that the series-finale of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse takes place on January 22nd, 2010.  The final episodes leading up to this last day will be

  • January 8th: “Getting Closer.”
  • January 15th: “The Hollow Men.”
  • The series finale on January 22nd: “Epitath Two: Return.”  Felicia Day and Adair Tishler guest star.

It will be the end of a much tormented science fiction, fantasy TV series run that never quite caught on with the general viewing public.

I even had a feeling that despite the hard-core fan-base wanting Joss’s latest television effort to succeed, even some of us were hard pressed to really enjoy Dollhouse at times.  Sometimes the show just dragged for me and at other times it hit on all 10 cylinders of its 8-cylinder engine.  It just didn’t revv up enough to catch a foothold.

It didn’t help when viewers called it things like a show about trafficking.
