The down-to-earth white-bread Catholic sidekick-slash-love interest probably turns it around for them.

I was really disappointed how often it's portrayed that the Catholic side kick is the smart one and Bones is just the science lady who doesn't know about real world knowledge, but they probably love that too.

Don't forget he's also former military (third generation at least), a former athlete, a big sports fan, and a member of law enforcement.

Yeah, that ticks a lot of boxes for some.

You'd think, but they slowly brought the show around to say that she was wrong about everything and really she just needed the love of a good man and a baby and eeeeugh I can't even finish this sentence, the show went to bad bad places.

I only watched some of the earlier seasons but I've heard people talking about how the show ended up and yeesh... glad I stopped watching.

Like the other commenters, I'm cynical and think they were okay with it for several factors:

1) conventionally attractive white lady
2) beefy all-American religious dude
3) the possibility of romance and conversion where the atheist learns the error of her ways


I quit watching the show after a few seasons because the writing and characterization were so weak and inconsistent, but it sounds like Bones ended up pregnant so... yeah. I bet that demographic was okay with it.

She gave birth in a fucking barn, too.

Like the others have said, she gets "put in her place" by her ultra-religious cop boyfriend on the weekly. It's not so hard to see what appeals to them.

lol this show doesn't take brennan seriously, not even about how awful her father is, so there's no conflict with conservatives.

Isn't this also the show where a character's father kidnapped her (not horrible, not even exclusively to blame for the breakup) ex-boyfriend and had him non-consensually tattooed with her face and it was treated like wacky hijinks? The show had issues.
