Prime Time Essay



Bones has been a hit TV show since it began airing on Fox network in 2005. This show is about a very successful forensic anthropologist, and her role in helping solve crimes with an FBI agent. In the cast of Bones, there are three main churchgoers that are women, and one of those women, has the leading role. The other three main charcot are men, and one of those men has the next leading role in the show. There are two characters that are forty years old, and all of them are healthy and in good shape. The ages of the actors are; Emily Deschanel (34), David Boreanaz (40), Michaela Conlin (32), T.J Thyne (35), Tamara Taylor (40), and John Francis Daley (25).
The women in the program are dressed with stylish clothing when not in their lab coats, or work suits that they may have to wear. They don't wear clothing that is too sexual or revealing, but their clothing is not plain in any way. This program is actually very empowering for women, because the leading role, and the female main characters, are all successful and strong. One of the main characters is considered to be bi-sexual, and she also comes from a mixed ethnic background. Another of the main characters is also half African-American.
The intended audience is broad because the show appeals to so many different groups of people. Both men and women, old and young. I believe this show does accurate portray women, showing how successful, strong, and powerful they can be if they are dedicated to their work and determined.
