If Bones is going to go into the toilet, as that horrid season ender would have me believe, then I need a new show about discovering who dead people are. Bruckheimer’s The Forgotten may just fit the hole in my heart and make me into a real boy again. The concept is simple, and sometimes a simple and entertaining show is all one should want from an hour of television. Give me a good whodunit with quirky characters and you’ll have me satisfied. Right now this one should be on the radar.
