Before David Boreanaz played Jason Hayes on "SEAL Team" and portrayed Angel on the character's eponymous show and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," he played FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth on Fox’s "Bones." Although the series lost its way towards the end, as it ran for 12 seasons, it still remained a favorite among viewers. With Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel and their co-stars in the mix, the series proved to be successful. You may not believe it, but the show had a very different name before Boreanaz became involved. Fans of the procedural probably know that Emily Deschanel’s Temperance Brennan also goes by the nickname “Bones,” hence the title of the series. However, the OG name for the drama series was actually going to simply be Brennan. That was the approach taken for fellow Fox program "House," which was named after Hugh Laurie’s eponymous character on the medical drama. So what exactly brought on the change? Well, via SlashFilm, creator Hart Hanson revealed in "Bones: The Official Companion" that it took a lot of time for the creative team to figure out the title, but they finally reached a decision once they saw the work of their two lead stars.
