'Bones' crossover scoop: First Stewie, now Lightman?

Categories: Bones, Lie to Me, News

Ausiello-Bones-Lie-Me_lHere’s further proof that brain tumor-afflicted Booth will be on the mend this fall on Bones: The next Fox character who visits him will be a flesh-and-blood human, not an animated talking baby.

Sources confirm that Fox is toying with the idea of staging a crossover next season that would find Booth and Brennan working on a case with Tim Roth’s Lie to Me doc Lightman. The insider cautions that it’s in the very early stages and “may not even happen,” which is even more reason for me to get this out there now before the whole thing falls apart!

Thoughts? You tired of Fox’s other properties invading the sacred ground that is Bones? Or do you come from the “the more the merrier” school of thought? Sound off below!

    Yes! I knew there was a reason why I caught up “Lie to Me”. A crossover between the two would be PERFECTION.

    Make it happen NOW!

  • Lexi

    I completely LOVE the idea!!! Fox should definitely go for it :D

  • Hannah

    It should be House or Fringe!!

    • Monica

      YES! YES! YES! These are my 3 favorite shows, It would be SOOOO cool to get these three together somehow!!!

    • Allan

      House vs. Bones? Could you imagine the dialogue between the two? Maybe House could also tell Angela where to get off, too!

    • Nic.

      I LOVE the idea of a House and/or Fringe cross-over. I can only imagine the dialogue between House and Walter. Priceless!

    • Aiden

      Bones and House, no doubt about it! First thing that came to my head as well. Two great shows here.

      • J Lo

        Actually – I always thought a crossover House-Lie to me would be perfect. The guy who thinks everyone lies paired with the guy who can actually tell when someone lies? Genius.

    • Nichole Muldanno

      I think house or fringe is a better idea, We got rid of tv awile ago and we make sure that someone will record bones for us so we dont miss it and we dont even know who lightman is but we have heard and ive seen a couple episodes of house and Fringe and i think one of them would be much better because more people have heard of them

    • Amanie

      yeah it should so be House or maybe Law and Order svu sooo kewl ooo or In Plain Sight so kewl!!

        Why would FOX crossover to a show that’s NOT on FOX?? Cause they wouldn’t, come on

  • kat

    ever since the first episode of lie to me, ive been dying for a cross over with bones! How great will the interactions and skepticism be!

  • Cass

    Starting to get into “Lie to Me” a little, but not quite ready for another “Bones” crossover, especially with a show that doesn’t quite meet its caliber. Maybe toward the end of Season 5… First I need some pure, uninterrupted “Bones.”

  • Don J

    Makes sense to me. Both shows are produced by FOX and both shows air on FOX and take place in Washington DC. Hopefully FOX (the network), Hart Hanson and Shawn Ryan can work it out.

  • Kevin

    YES!!! If it falls apart, it is up to you, Michael, to piece it back together and make it happen. Your smurfs may get it if you fail.

  • lilybilly

    Definitely would like to see this happen. Those are two of my fav shows ! That would be awesome

  • Danny

    I would love to see this happen… but not yet. I think Lie to Me needs to establish itself more as a show before it crosses lines with the wonderful hit show Bones.

  • Pete

    I’d rather not see a crossover. The shows are too different and forcing them together would just scream shameless cross promotion.

  • chattypatra

    I think it is a brilliant idea. Hopefully, it will be a two-hour episode. I can already imagine Bones’ reaction to the “Lie” team.

  • Kermonk

    My thoughts? My thoughts are that you just made that up because you have no real stuff to post *g*

    Apart from that, I’d think could work out fine.

  • Carol

    Yes, great idea. I love both shows.

  • Branr

    Pure Awesomeness, I had that idea while watching LTM last season.

  • Dave Walker

    Lightman and Brennan together! Oh yes please! Even better Booth and Torres, true love in the making.

  • Jenna V.

    this idea totally works! they both work with the fbi, they’re both based in DC, and i can totally see an episode where booth has trouble figuring out the truth because all the suspects are lying!
    the crossover wouldn’t be a stretch at all!

  • Carol

    I love both shows a lot! I’d just tuned into LTM…they should really do it! Lightman analyzing B&B would be fun to watch!

  • readinrobin

    As a fan of both shows, I think it’s a brilliant idea.

  • Davey Crockett

    Never watched Lie To Me. In fact, I never even heard of it. Probably why there is talks of a crossover with Bones, a more popular and most enjoyable show!

  • May S

    Oh. My. God. YES!!!! Oh, that would be so PERFECT. Bones and Lie To Me are my two favorite shows, and I’ve been dreaming of crossovers for YEARS – I would just die if it really would happen. Oh, I hope so!!! Fox, make it happen!!!!!

  • Ryan

    Bloody brilliant! Make this happen! FOX, we want this!!!

  • Courtney

    No way! It should be House!

  • linda

    Only if it will help ‘Bones’ return to it’s more serious days in the beginning. That will be one more hour of TV that I don’t have to watch.

  • Cheryl

    I hate cross overs! They suck

  • Angela

    I love both shows and think that a crossover would be pretty cool. Don’t forget Grey’s and Private Practice did it last year and it turned out very well.

  • Alex

    neither. I just hope the next crossover don’t mess things up. The first one was great so let’s keep fingers crossed for the next.

  • Todd

    Add me to the list of people who want the crossover. I enjoy both shows and think it would make for some entertaining television.

    I would still love to see House and Lightman cross paths.

  • Mandy

    GREAT IDEA!!

    Now….a House/Bones Crossover Episode, PLEASE?????

    • David

      A House/Bones crossover would *only* be worth it if it meant bringing Hugh Laurie together with Stephen Fry for most of the episode.

      • Kim

        AMEN! I’ve been waiting for such a show…

      • Dave

        God yes. Fry and Laurie reunited would be the greatest piece of tv in years. House vs Gordon would be fantastic tv.

    • Jeremy

      House and Bones can’t do a crossover, Bones is from Fox, and House is from NBC Universal, but played on fox.

    • rachel

      how would that work? house is about solving medical mysteries and bones is about bones. i mean it would be great, i love both shows but i just dont think that would work.

  • Chris

    i’m a fan of the crossovers they bring to bones, and they’ve been done very realistically in the past so i’m all for it… i would really enjoy a house crossover though…

    • Lasse Noren

      Actually I find the combination with “Dexter” better. He cuts them up and she’ll put them back again. :-)

  • Mandy

    “Even better Booth and Torres, true love in the making”**********************************
    NEVER NEVER NEVER!!! There is only ONE TRUE LOVE for Booth…..
