Emily Deschanel Interview With Japan Today

August 17, 2008 by Lynn

Many thanks to Joe for letting me know about this interview Emily Deschanel did for Japan Today to promote Bones in Japan. Apparently, she was in Japan recently to talk about Bones because they will just be seeing season 3 begin in October. (How sad that they have to wait so long!!)

Anyway, she talked a bit about the similarities (or lack thereof) between Kathy Reichs’ version of Temperance Brennan and Hart Hanson’s version. And my favorite quote from the piece is this:

In a television market that’s flooded with police procedurals and crime dramas, Deschanel believes that focus on relationships and character development is what has helped “Bones” to stand out from the crowd. In fact, she says that the show could almost be considered a romantic comedy (that just happens to be set in the world of forensics).

I like that description: romantic comedy. It’s much more descriptive than the usual “dramatic comedy” or “dramedy”.
