What the deuce? Stewie Griffin on 'Bones'?
Twitter
You read that headline correctly -- FOX will do a rather unusual crossover in May when Stewie, the hell-raising, hyper-intelligent infant from "Family Guy," makes an appearance on "Bones."
Stewie completed his shooting recently and had this to say: "Oh, have you seen it? Was I good? Because I heard they said I was amazing and they want me to replace Emily [Deschanel], but that's just a rumor."
His scene partner, David Boreanaz, adds: "The guy was good during the actual scenes, which is the important thing. But between takes he literally vanished -- nowhere to be seen. I guess it's true that Brits and cartoons tend to be standoffish. Or maybe it was a method thing. I don't know."
In the episode, scheduled for May 7, Booth (Boreanaz) will have babies on the brain after Brennan (Deschanel) decides she wants to have a child -- and asks Booth to be the father. The idea consumes Booth -- as does an unrelated (and undiagnosed) health problem that lays him out and causes him to hallucinate. Stewie will "assess the situation" and offer his advice. (But will there be dancing?)
I'm thinking Stewie might tell Booth to take Brennan up on her offer, since my intrepid colleague Korbi has written at length about a Bones-Booth coupling (finally) in the season finale, which airs the following week.
The May 7 episode, by the way, is called "The Critic in the Cabernet." Body in a wine barrel, maybe? Jokes about the wine having a good nose?
What do you think about this idea? Did you picture Booth as a "Family Guy" fan?

WTF?
YES!!! best idea ever
Sounds great to me - we need more Fox crossovers. Dr. House on "King of the Hill," Chloe O'Brien on "Fringe," Quagmire on "Dollhouse."
GREAT stuff! Hope this leads to a House-Bones crossover too! Dr. House and Dr. Brennan definitely need to meet! LOL.
I'm still not sure yet how I feel about this. I'm pretty torn, but really I don't think it's so horrible or anything (maybe desperate or just an annoying Fox idea, but not horrible). I'm really curious how it will happen. I just really hope it doesn't suck.
Funniest thing ever though (seriously I laughed for like 5 minutes) was when I first read this story from Ausiello, and a commenter I read was saying that they aren't really opposed to the idea and want to see how they do it, and then they just ended with the sentence, "But if Booth and Brennan sleep together because Stewie Griffin tells them to, I'll carpet bomb Fox headquarters."
HILARIOUS!
Does Fox hate us??? Seriously???? SERIOUSLY??? I mean Really. Sorry. I'm not pro bones'n'booth getting together this season, and now that stewie.. first Zack.. now this.. now actually if Stewie was a not zack...
There wont be a House/Bones crossover becuase HOuse isn't owned by Fox; it's owned by NBC/Universal Studios.
And this idea is the dumbest idea ever. How low can Bones go? Stewie Griffin is your answer.
I am done with this moronic show. Bring on Criminal Minds.
Screw Bones.
Not much of a fan if something like that bothers you Brooke. Its that kinda stuff that proves "Bones" isn't just another cop show like lets say "Criminal Minds".
Quagmire on "Dollhouse
That's retarded.
