Booth Vs. DiNozzo

For those who love TV probably knew exactly what am talking about in this blog. Yup, it is about two TV series that caught many attentions lately, Bones and NCIS. Both are two different characters yet have this sort of similar personality. But first let me educate you guys who have no idea whatsoever about the series, those who have a busy and hectic life, hence their lack of knowledge about what is going on in the television's larger than life world. So, here is the thing, Booth is the character from TV series Bones. Bones is an American crime drama television series that premiered on the Fox Network on September 13, 2005. The show is based on forensic anthropology, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) to the forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel). The rest of the cast includes Michaela Conlin, T. J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Tamara Taylor and John Francis Daley.
Created by Hart Hanson, the series is very loosely based on the life of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, who also produces the show. Its title character, Temperance Brennan, is named after the protagonist of Reichs' crime novel series.
The show begins in the year 2005, and tells the story of a series of case files, solved weekly, by the unlikely alliance of Temperance "Bones" Brennan's forensic anthropology team at the Jeffersonian Institute (a thinly veiled allusion to the Smithsonian Institution) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. By examining the human remains of the murder victims, Dr. Brennan and her team provide scientific expertise and an outsider's perspective to the world of criminal investigation to the FBI. In addition to the murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of the major characters including the developing friendship and possibly romantic relationship between Brennan and Booth. The series has dark comedic undertones.
Alright, that was our first excitement for today. Now let's talk about NCIS, also known as NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is an American police procedural drama television series revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which conducts criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
NCIS follows a fictional team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service Major Case Response Team (MCRT) special agents headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. It is described by the actors and producers (on special features on DVD releases in the United States) as being distinguished by its comic elements, ensemble acting and character-driven plots.
NCIS is the primary law enforcement and counter-intelligence arm of the United States Department of the Navy, which includes the United States Marine Corps. NCIS investigates all major criminal offenses (felonies)—crimes punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice by confinement of more than one year—within the Department of the Navy. The MCRT is frequently assigned to high profile cases such as the death of the U.S. president's military aide, a bomb situation on a U.S. Navy warship, the death of a celebrity on a reality show set on a USMC base, terrorist threats, and kidnapping.
The MCRT is led by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs’s team is composed of Special Agent and Senior Field Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Probationary Special Agent (formerly Mossad liaison officer) Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), who replaced Caitlin "Kate" Todd (Sasha Alexander) when she was shot by Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin) at the end of season two. Ari was then killed by his half-sister Ziva at the beginning of season three. The team is assisted in their investigations by Chief Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), Medical Assistant Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen), and Forensic Specialist Abigail "Abby" Sciuto (Pauley Perrette).
It has been revealed through flashbacks that the 'original' head of the MCRT was Special Agent Mike Franks, who led the unit when it was part of NIS. He recruited Gibbs shortly after Gibbs' retirement from the Marine Corps, eventually retiring himself some years later. After Franks' departure, Gibbs recruited DiNozzo from the Baltimore Police Department's Homicide Section. The two were briefly joined by Vivian Blackadder, whom Gibbs recruited from the FBI. In the second part of the NCIS pilot, Blackadder allowed her emotions to nearly derail an anti-terror operation in Spain. Gibbs is noticeably disappointed, Blackadder is not present in the series' first regular episode. McGee first appears as a Field Agent assigned to the Norfolk Field Office. He uses his computer skills to aid the MCRT in subsequent investigations through the rest of the first season, until he is officially promoted with his own desk at the Navy Yard in the beginning of the second season.
NCIS is currently led by Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll). The first director seen in the series, Thomas Morrow (Alan Dale), left after being promoted to Deputy Director of DHS. Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) was appointed director after Morrow; she was killed in a shootout at the end of the fifth season, thus making Vance the director of the whole organisation. Ohoo..I can see that you guys are started to get into it now. I mean, seriously..the plot was very complicated, interesting, and far from boring.
Now, how do these two TV series connected to each other? They don't. But, their two different characters Booth and DiNozzo, for me, have this sort of similar charm. I mean, Booth is a special agent who has a great look and a little bit too confident with himself and so does DiNozzo. Both guys are constantly insist that girls are somehow really into them. But they both have different senses of humor though. Booth is a little bit more serious here as he was kind of closed type of guy. We don't often seeing him make fool of himself as DiNozzo does. Yeah, unlike Booth, Tony DiNozzo is a kind of guy who was always try hard, too hard sometime, to impress people hence his stupidity that makes him looking like a fool. Therefore, we will see the scene where his boss Gibbs slap him at the back of his head just to bring him back to reality quite often. And seriously, I do enjoy these scenes very much. Classics, hah!
One more thing actually caught my attention on this thing, it was how perfect the casts are. I mean, it looks like they were born to play the parts. They don't like acting at all. Boreanaz is Booth and Weatherly is DiNozzo. I know, most of Hollywood movies normally don't look for actors to play the parts anyway. More like they are looking for actors who are fit for the parts. Therefore, unlike British movies where the actors were actually acting, American movies do not have that kind of thing. Well, that was according to me, of course. So, back to our topic, the biggest things on telly at the moment (for me) was the similarity between two actors from two different programs but have the same exact charm. The charm that made me madly in love with them. Well, actually I was more like into Booth as I was obssessed to Boreanaz since he was played Angel in Buffy The Vampire Slayer plus there was a fact that I was actually dated someone who looks like him at certain angle, BUT, I can not ignore the fact that Emily Deschanel who plays Bones has this slightly annoying face that was always bother me whenever I watch the program. Hey, I did remind you guys that am a racist and I judge people by his or her look, didn't I? Besides, the fact that he was unfaithful to his wife proved nothing than that he knew exactly what kind of charm that he got and used it wisely, ha ha!
