Subject: Bones/XF comparison

Got this off the AP Entertainment Wire. Comments from me at the end.

*******
Fox’s seven new prime-time television series include:
———
‘‘Bones’’
What: Thanks to its intriguing heroine, much more than a bare-bones crime procedural.
Where: Tuesday, 8 p.m.
When: Sept. 13
Who: Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Eric Millegan, T.J. Thyne, Michaela Conlin, Jonathan Adams.
Why: As long as we keep watching ‘‘CSI’’ variations, the networks will keep making ’em.
How: Dr. Temperance Brennan (a.k.a. ‘‘Bones’’) has good looks, a blunt style and a working knowledge of judo. She’s also a world-class forensic anthropologist who is drawn into the FBI’s toughest murder investigations. A distant sort (‘‘My most meaningful relationships are with dead people,’’ she concedes), Bones works in dicey partnership with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, who, in a nice turnabout, is this team’s sensitive, outgoing member. Thanks to Deschanel, Bones is the season’s sexiest new tomboy, while Booth (Boreanaz) is a hunky teddy bear. Too work-driven to get involved, or even admit to mutual attraction (maybe), they could be the successor to Mulder and Scully as the hottest chaste couple on the air. And they solve the crimes, too, in fascinating ways.

Dang! The more I hear about this show, the more I want to watch it, but I don't want to give up NCIS. The only thing I don't get is the bit about having the man being the "sensitive" one is a "turnabout". Wasn't that pretty much the deal with Mulder and Scully? He was the psychologist and the one who was generally more in tune with emotional nuances while she was the "just the facts" scientist.
