After reading this article, I wonder if the author watched more of the premiere than the first twenty minutes. If he did, he would know that a lot more goes on in this show than "crude Agent Booth" making bad jokes about London. Booth, in particular, begins to like London, and doesn't want to leave at the end of the show. The chemistry and tension between Booth and Dr. Brennan is what keeps the show running. If Booth and Brennan dated, none of the tension would exist, and then the show would just be a smarter version of CSI.

A final note, the title is not Bones because of the fact that all of the remains are brought in as bones - that's pretty far from the truth anyway; Hodgins, the slime guy, and Camille, the skin lady, wouldn't have a job - but because of the moniker given to Dr. Brennan by Booth in the series premiere.

Premiere was last week. Good job with the research.
