There is a nice blend of action and humor. However, the shows real strength is the interaction among the main characters. Each character has great depth and every episode shows another layer of that depth. Sam is the interesting drunk who appears to have no moral center but comes through for Michael. Michael is amazing in his center core values that he comes back to in every episode. He is one of the good guys in this strange word of mostly those whose soul is for sale to the highest bidder. Fiona is one of the best characters on TV. Her beauty is a mask for a very tough lady who will have your back. The sexual tension between Michael and Fiona is quite well written and acted. Michael is an updated MacGyver who is always finding a way to build just the right weapon/tool for the situation....

The squints each have enduring personalities that blend together as well as any cast on TV. The quirks each character brings to the show makes every one of them lovable. The way they expanded the role of Zack with the haircut and new look to make him more presentable for court appearances was brilliant. the romance between Angela and Hodgins is so cute. I hope they do not spoil the relationship between Bones and Booth by creating a real romance. the interplay between the two and the anticipation is one of the show's major strengths. the worst character and storyline is the inclusion of Ryan O"Neal as Bones father. They need to move on without him. He detracts from the highlight of the show - the interaction among the squints and Booth. The best recent addition is the lawyer who has a personality that fits right in because it is so different and engaging....

The banter is engaging and moves very rapidly. The interaction among the characters is one of the show's major strengths. It makes the quirky so appealing. You see each of these characters as human with all the frailties of a "normal" person. The plots are a engaging but really serve as a way to showcase the quirks of every character. they have done a nice job of focusing on each character in various episodes. I hope they are able to allow the characters to develop beyond the surface. My major concern is that it will not develop a sufficient audience to keep this wonderful comedy on the air. Every stereotype is present. The more you see  characters the more you want to know about them. Every character represents a different and widely help misconception about the gifted nerd....

Gibbs, McGee, and Abby are wonderful characters played perfectly. The more they show about Abby the better. A strong, bright woman with more than a few quirks. The only totally unbelievable character is Lauren Holly as the Director. There is just no authority in her presentation and there is zero chemistry with Gibbs....

I'd also like to see them stop making Torres such a troubled character. Bailey always should have been the Chief Resident, but they didn't need to make Torres look incompetent to accomplish that. The way the show mixes drama with humor makes it among the best shows on TV.... Thu, 22 Nov 2007 12:19:56 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Greys-Anatomy--16620-review-e815 professor-doc 5
