What Is FOX Thinking???

This idea is bad on so many levels.

This fall, FOX, the same network that thought canceling Firefly was a good idea, is going to bring us a crossover event involving Bones and Sleepy Hollow.

Huh?

Why in the world would they be doing a crossover event that would bring a television show that's based in the real world with one that deals with a supernatural one?  Let's see what Bones executive producer Michael Peterson has to say about this:

"The Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover is like a great episode of the X-Files, where the Bones hour is the Scully, logic-based perspective and the Sleepy Hollow hour is more Fox Mulder-esque.  Put them together, and it's going to be a great two-hour event that fans of both programs are going to love!"

I hate to break it to you, Michael, but FOX already has an X-Files-ish show on their network...it's called the X-Files?!?  Maybe you didn't get the office memo letting you know that they were bringing it back?  Okay, maybe I'm being a little hard on the guy.  Let's hear what the showrunner for Sleepy hollow, Clifton Campbell, has to say on the subject:

"When the idea came about to create this crossover event for the fans, our writers' room went immediately energized.  The creative freedom to merge these two worlds which, at face value, seem so different, but at the core have such striking similarities - mystery, intrigue and methodical deduction, wrapped up in such strong character partnerships - was a challenge that we all welcomed, and we believe that fans of both series will be very satisfied by the result.  It was a terrific collaborative experience across the board and we are eager to see the fan reaction to Ichabod and Abbie working alongside Brennan and Booth."

Oh!  So this idea was for the fans.  Sounds to me like your writers had a bit of writer's block, and this was the best that they could come up with.  And as far as "striking similarities?"  The real world show of Bones and the supernatural world of Sleepy Hollow are as far from similar as you can get!

These are all just my opinion.  If you really are interested in watching this, here's the official synopses for the crossover:

On Bones, the grisly discovery of human remains lead Brennan and Booth on a hunt for clues, during which they encounter Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills, searching for answers of their own.  Realizing that they are after the same evidence, they team up to solve the mystery.  Then, immediately following on Sleepy Hollow, the intrigue continues as Ichabod's old nemesis is back  from the dead.  Ichabod and Abbie need advanced forensic help and expertise to stop him and turn to Brennan and Booth to unlock 18th century secrets using 21st century science."
