The gathering of writers, actors, directors and crew members from the Fox drama series proved once again that “Bones” was one of TV’s happiest sets during its 12-season run from 2005-2017.

The working experience on a show with such longevity feels like a distant memory to many working Hollywood writers. The industry’s massive shifts over the past decade to a higher overall volume of series with fewer seasons, smaller writers rooms and fewer episode counts per season has taken a toll on the scribe tribe. The WGA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are at odds over the WGA’s demand that more writers be hired per series and for a minimum 10 weeks at a time.
“I think they’re making a categorical error with all of this ‘Let’s cancel everything after two or three seasons,’ “ showrunner Mike Royce toldat the “Bones” picket. “I know the economic reasons behind it. And they have all this data proving that most shows go down after Season 3.” Anders Holm, co-creator of Comedy Central’s “Workaholics,” was an assistant to showrunner Hanson on the first season of “Bones.” Today he’s a showrunner himself. The work that he observed across 22 episodes of “Bones” in Season 1 amounted to a master’s degree in television. The shorter episode orders and lack of exposure to physical production have made it harder for baby writers and assistants to find those apprenticeship opportunities.
