Kondid The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2005–2017) Online

B&B investigate the death of a man in a very proper suburban neighborhood. The writers try very hard to condemn the suburban lifestyle. The Monkees did this, too, way back in the 1960s. Here, it falls a bit flat -- and stale. The suspects are virtually everyone living on the block, of course, as the dead neighbor was pretty much universally despised. Booth's son angles to get his father a girlfriend. And Brennan's latest intern, a Muslim, isn't quite who he seems to be. Brennan, meanwhile, is still socially inept five years into the series, and Angela must come to her rescue. Again. Doctor Sweets, who started out as the show's comic relief, here helps the murder investigation and deals with the Muslim intern who is not who he appears to be.

I love this episode. When Bones and Booth are headed to the 'burbs.

In this episode, a body is discovered in a BBQ pit, out in the suburbs, and Bones and Booth have to investigate it. Obviously. Whilst they're there, they discover a whole lot of stuff that people try to keep hidden. Relationships, affairs and for one lucky winner, a murder. And the poor lady. She was a dentist.

I really love this episode because it puts Bones out of her natural element. And another thing I love, that the body was found during a neighborhood party.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10.

Does anyone know who sings the good life in this episode? This is one of my favorite

It's one of those "the suburbs are the devil" episode that's so fashionable to condemn in television. Can't say if it's a factual attitude as I've never lived in the American suburbs but it's a cliché nonetheless.

There's this guy who puts up a windmill in his garden, which others don't approve. It's ugly, it's loud, it's tall. Motiv to murder? You'll see. He also sleeps around quite much, which his wife is obviously not happy about. And he has an online sex toy business with one of his neighbours. That probably was a good addition to the otherwise all-too-familiar setting.

The side-stories were a lot better and made the episode more enjoyable. Parker is ever so cute, trying to find a girlfriend to his daddy - but not just any girlfriend, he's got specific requirements. The last scene with Booth, Brennan and Parker is just adorable.

The Muslim intern accidentally reveals its secret which actually was very thought-provoking: do you have to be pretend these days if you're religious? Isn't it just as bad as that era when one had to fake religion? All in all, the case was worse than usual but the personal stories made up for it.

The plot of this episode borrows from Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express crossed with Desperate Housewives. It revolves around a colourful set of characters living in a suburban cul de sac.

It had two gay characters, just in the mix, mildly comic but not derogatory. There is one male eye-candy character Trey the gardener also appealing to the gay viewer. I like it when gays are present without making a big deal of it.

There is one scene where a Muslim makes a claim that his religion is completely compatible with science. The characters on the show know nothing about Islam, so they just let this nonsense slide.

In the 1300s in Moorish Spain, there was a golden era of Islam. Pretty well all learning and scholarship in Europe was done by Muslims. Islam strongly encouraged science. Then fundamentalism and Quranic literalism swept Islam. Discoveries in science and math stopped. Islam started murdering anyone who did not swallow Creationism and other forms of Quranic literalism and magic thinking. Islam has been a pall over the earth ever since.
