The Jeffersonian Institute seems like it would be a pretty unusual place to work. First, there's the queen bee, Dr. Temperance Brennan (also known as Bones), who is a genius at forensics but somewhat lacking in the social skills department. Then, there's the fact that Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel (https://www.looper.com/407347/what-emily-deschanel-has-been-doing-since-bones-ended/)) and Booth (David Boreanaz), the department's FBI liaison, seem to have a weird flirtation going on that would probably be distracting if you were trying to get work done. Then there's the fact that the shelf life for interns at The Jeffersonian is pretty short — you might even be at risk of being murdered or going to jail if you work there.
Despite all of these complications, the characters on the Fox series "Bones" are rarely boring, and at least all of the drama at the Jeffersonian gives fans something to talk about. Because there have been so many different staff members in the forensics department, we thought it would be interesting to evaluate each investigator and see how they stack up. And because this is a very scientific ranking, we've opted to not include non-forensic characters like Booth and James Aubrey, instead just focusing on the characters who work in and around the lab.
We've also decided to only include characters who appeared in more than three episodes of the show, which means the incomparable Betty White (https://www.looper.com/722096/the-bones-character-everyone-forgets-betty-white-played/) (who played Dr. Beth Mayer in two episodes) is also not on this list. Now that we've gotten all that out of the way, we can get on with the ranking. Here are all of the "Bones" forensic investigators, ranked from worst to best.
