With our favorite prime time shows on hiatus, TVF is taking a look back at some buzzed-about programs and grading their performance this fall, with a look toward 2011.

Yesterday, we examined Brothers & Sisters. This morning: Bones.

Best episode: For humor, the Jersey Shore-themed "The Maggots in the Meathead." For drama, "The Doctor in the Photo." This dark, compelling episode featuring an introspective Brennan contrasted starkly from last season's uplifting Christmas episode.

Just the same, it likely marked a pivotal moment for Temperance. Her declaration will resonate with Booth. Sad as it was, it could signal the brightest days yet up ahead.

WE HEART B-SQUARED: Unrequited love lingers for one of our top TV couples.

Worst episode: If we have to pick, "The Twisted Bones in the Melted Truck." It was still enjoyable, but you knew going in that only the following week mattered.

Best character: Aside from the two leads, Sweets has been cracking us up this season. Whether he's cougar cruising, helping Miss Wick cheat on her FBI clearance exam or bromancing Booth, the always-entertaining Dr. Lance has come into his own this fall.

Worst character: Hannah. No offense, Hannah. You seem nice. But get lost.

Best relationship: Angela and Hodgins. Our only complaint is there hasn't been enough of these two together on screen, but we have a hunch that will change come spring. They're always a breath of fresh air, an antidote to the tensions lying elsewhere.

Best body find: "The Babe in the Bar." Hilarious and so, so gross.

Best Jeffersonian work: "The Bones That Weren't." They made a skeleton out of plastic! Honorable mention: Angela's sketches in "The Shallow in the Deep." The woman's good.

Hopes for 2011: An encore visit from David Allan Grier's "Science Dude" ... Daisy not getting killed off by the sniper ... Hodgins and Angela's baby being born without complications.

Oh yeah, and Booth and Brennan possibly getting together. Almost forgot that.

Overall grade: B.
