I'm sure I've been watching too much TV when...

  • I notice that the same actor plays Gibs (NCIS) father and Booth's (Bones) grandfather -- and I wonder if Gibs is Booth's father.... then, I realize he couldn't be, because Booth's dad was abusive, and Gibs would never be abusive -- So -- then I conclude that Gibs is Booth's uncle, and I feel better.
  • While watching one Canadian home renovation show, I see mistakes that Holmes on Holmes (the Canadian contractor/vigilante) would go nuts about. I then wonder how long it will take before the house shows up on Holmes on Homes...

OMG, those are my two favorite shows! Yes, it is a funny coincidence of casting.

Gibbs isn't old enough to be Booth's dad, since I'd guess that Booth is mid-30s and Gibbs is about my dad's age (~50). They graduated high school in the same year (which is my signal that I've been watching too much TV, since I know these random facts).

Oh, and here's a slight spoiler: Rena Sofer who is a guest star on a couple episodes of NCIS, will be guest starring on Bones soon. Weird, isn't it?

If Gibs is mid-50s, it's possible... but, the best evidence against the Gibs as Booth's dad stuff is the abuse. So, I went with the uncle bit --

I do have to wonder if there isn't another old guy actor in Hollywood...
