Bones:

Bones is an American crime drama television series that premiered on the Fox Network on September 13, 2005. The show is based on forensic anthropology and forensic archaeology, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) to the forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel). The rest of the cast includes Michaela Conlin, T. J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Tamara Taylor, and John Francis Daley.
Created by Hart Hanson, the series is very loosely based on the life of author and forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs,[1] who also produces the show. Its title character, Temperance Brennan, is named after the protagonist of Reichs' crime novel series. Conversely, Dr. Brennan writes successful mystery novels based around a fictional (in the Bones universe) forensic anthropologist named Kathy Reichs. Bones is a joint production by Josephson Entertainment, Far Field Productions and 20th Century Fox Television.[2]
The series was renewed for a sixth season, which premiered September 23, 2010.

Glee

The second season of the musical comedy-drama television series Glee premiered on September 21, 2010 on Fox in the United States. The season will air in the 8 pm (ET) time slot on Tuesdays.[1] The season was produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Ryan Murphy Television, with series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk as executive producers, alongside Dante Di Loreto.
The series focuses on a high school glee club called New Directions, set within the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. Season two will follow the club through sectional and regional show choir competitions, to the national competition in New York City.

Glee's second season saw a shift toward covering more Top 40 songs than the first, in an effort to appeal more to the 18–49 demographic. Having used 2010 songs such as Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" and Cee Lo Green's "Forget You", music supervisor PJ Bloom commented, "We're using songs on the show the same time they're charting as new hits." He described the process behind selecting songs, clearing rights, recording, and filming numbers as taking as little as a few weeks to complete. Producer Adam Anders revealed that production and planning even occurs before rights for songs are cleared, as Glee's creators are offered listens of upcoming songs in advance by publishers and record labels.[67]
The extended play (EP) Glee: The Music, The Rocky Horror Glee Show was released mid-October 2010 to accompany the fifth episode.[68] Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album, featuring winter holiday-themed songs, was released in mid-November 2010, and Glee: The Music, Volume 4, featuring recordings from the first half of the season, was released at the end of the same month.[69] An additional EP tied to the Super Bowl tribute episode was planned but never came to fruition, as well as Glee: The Music, Volume 5 being released in March 2011.[70][71]
Second season musical releases attained some chart success. Glee: The Music, The Rocky Horror Glee Show peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 with 48,000 copies sold. It marked the lowest debut and sales for the cast in the United States,[72] but the highest position ever reached for a Rocky Horror album.[73] Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album and Glee: The Music, Volume 4 both peaked at number three, in Canada and Australia respectively.[74][75] The cast's cover of "O Holy Night" debuted at number one on the Holiday Digital Songs chart.[76] The highest charting single was the cast's cover of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100.[77] The single sold 55,000 copies in its first day of release, and went on to beat the first-week sales record of 177,000 previously held by debut single "Don't Stop Believin'", with 214,000 in the US.[78][79] "Empire State of Mind" marked the highest first-day sales of any Glee song at the time with 106,000 downloads in the US over the week following its release.[80][81]
The record for most appearances by a group on the Billboard Hot 100, previously set by The Beatles, was broken when six songs from Glee: The Music, Volume 4 debuted on the chart the week of October 16, 2010. This feat also placed the cast third overall among all artists, behind James Brown and Elvis Presley.[82] Four songs debuted on November 18, 2010, which pushed the number of appearances to ninety-three, surpassing Brown's accomplishment to land at second.[83]

Plot

I didn’t actually read that into it until I actually saw it on TV and how they set it up. I can see why people would think that.
—Katie Cassidy on fans thinking she was Gossip Girl.[50]
Season four begins with Serena and Blair enjoying their summer in Paris...until the unexpected appearance of Chuck Bass, who is using a false name and cozying up to a new girl. Blair has to decide if she wants to fight for Chuck or spend her energy trying to rule Columbia University.[51] Serena needs to choose between Nate and Dan, but Dan is a bit busy coping with his new role as "dad" to Georgina's baby. Georgina later reveals the baby is not his.[52] Stephanie Savage has revealed in an interview that the Dan and Serena story is "reactivated" and sorting through it will become a bigger story. She also revealed that the third season finale "Last Tango, Then Paris" had a big impact on Jenny and she'll be a changed person when she returns.[53] Her return later this season will be "full of drama."[54]
The Gossip Girl website was under construction when Serena and Blair returned from Paris and debuted “never before seen technology" when it returned.[54] It is revealed that Juliet is working with her brother to take down Serena, for unknown reasons.[55] Vanessa gets caught in the middle when Juliet sets her up for stealing Serena's phone and sending an incriminating email. Vanessa later leaves town when only Dan believes her, but tells Juliet to watch her back.[56] After Blair ran Chuck's new girlfriend out of town, he pledges war against her.[57] They later decide that it's best for both of them if they end their fighting after Jenny posts on Gossip Girl the reason why she left town.[58] In the next episode, at Blair's 20th birthday party they kiss and have sex.[59] Both Nate and Dan still have feelings for Serena,[60] but don't know what to make of her mixed signals.[61]
Most of Juliet's plan will be revealed by the end of the first half of the season, with some elements set to carry over. Juliet will also recruit two main characters to help take Serena down.[7] Blair and Dan will team up to help Serena.[62] The two characters who joined Juliet were Vanessa and Jenny.[61] The three manage to turn everyone against Serena when Juliet and Jenny dress up as her at a masquerade party. Juliet takes photos of herself with cocaine and drugs Serena, causing Lily to believe Serena had gone off the rails again and has her committed to the Ostroff center. Jenny, feeling guilty about what they've done reveals everything to Blair. Vanessa leaves town to avoid Blair, while Blair and Dan form an alliance to seek revenge on Juliet.[63] After they track her down, Juliet goes to Serena and explains everything to her. It is revealed in a confrontation with Lily that Juliet's brother Ben was Serena's former teacher at her boarding school in Connecticut, who was accused of having an affair with Serena. Lily forged Serena's signature on the police affidavit, which in Lily's plan, would allow Serena to return home and, inadvertently, sent Ben to prison. Serena then hatches a plan to help free Ben from prison. This involves proving that her mother forged the affidavit against Ben. Chuck also learns that Lily was planning to sell Bass Industries behind his back.[64]
With Lily's influence, Ben is released from prison. Serena and Ben then pursue the possibility of a romance, which is made difficult by the history between them including Juliet's schemes against Serena and Lily having sent Ben to prison in the first place. They ultimately break up after his mother steals the affidavit in an attempt to clear her son's name and realizing that they cannot "hold on to the past". Serena and Chuck still hold resentment for Lily for having sent Ben to prison under false pretenses and for attempting to sell Bass Industries respectively. With the sale of Bass Industries looking to be imminent, Chuck and Lily work tirelessly to save the company from Russell Thorpe. Chuck falls for Raina, Russell's daughter. Things come to a head after Russell finds out about what Lily did to Ben, and uses it against her to buy Bass Industries. Lily decides to turn herself in to the DA to face charges for what she has done. Chuck is told by Russell that his wife was killed in a fire in one of Bart Bass' buildings years ago, which is the cause for his vendetta against him. Dan and Blair become closer after having spent some time together over the winter break. After both have failed attempts at an internship at W magazine and continuing to see art movies together, they continue to grow closer, culminating in them sharing a kiss to resolve whether or not they have true feelings for each other.
