Does Bones Deserve an Emmy Award?

There’s a petition on the web that’s trying to gain support for the idea of Bones winning an Emmy Award. Or, short of that, perhaps the idea of David Boreanaz and/or Emily Deschanel winning an Emmy is a great idea too.

So what do you think about it? Would you be willing to sign an online petition in support of the idea?

Hart Hanson, executive producer and creator of Bones, says this about the Emmy neglect:

“I think the reason why we don’t get recognized is because we don’t take ourselves too seriously,” Hanson says. “We’re a ‘crimedy’ — a mix between a crime show, a procedural and a comedy. The shows that seem to be honored all the time are the ones that take themselves very seriously, or do one thing very well.”

Hanson says he’s particularly miffed that the stars of “Bones” — David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel — have never been nominated. “That really rankles me. These performers turn on a dime in every scene. I really think they should be in there.”

The petition is here, so if you support the cause for a Bones Emmy, please go sign up!
