Bones And Fringe: The Musical Episodes

Bones and Fringe are getting their rock on for their April 29 episodes. Fox is featuring a music-themed week for some reason. I suppose with juggernaut American Idol and phenomenon Glee on the schedule, sharing the music just made sense. So, from April 29-May 5, several shows on the schedule will have musical episodes, and each night will kick off with a short music video. Here are the highlights that are relevant to our interests:

April 29

Emily Deschanel & David Boreanaz rock out on BONES / Fox

Bones – “The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle” – 8/7c
Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) investigate a death at a rock-n-roll fantasy camp where the murder weapon is a Gibson ‘57 Les Paul “Black Beauty.” In the episode, Booth rocks out on guitar and later performs a duet with Brennan.

Fringe – “Brown Betty” – 9/8c
While Walter (John Noble) deals with some upsetting news, he tells Olivia’s niece, Ella (guest star Lily Pilblad), a fairy tale that includes musical performances by Olivia (Anna Torv) and Agent Broyles (Lance Reddick).

May 4

Glee – “Bad Reputation” – 9/8c
Multi-platinum pop icon Olivia Newton-John guest-stars on an all-new episode and performs a duet with Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).
