Trivia[]

  • Although a full slate of 20 episodes were produced, the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike interfered with the writing of Season 4, and the network rearranged the broadcast schedule to compensate. Due to this rearrangement, the show had an extended hiatus after "The Santa in the Slush" aired on November 27, 2007; the show returned on April 14, 2008.
  • The episode "Player Under Pressure" was originally supposed to air during the second season in April 2007, but was delayed in the wake of the Virginia Tech massacre. The original version included references to Hodgins planning to ask Angela to move in with him when they were already engaged at this point, so they re-shot new scenes for Hodgins and Angela.
  • During the this season bonus content was posted by Fox on "Bones" official site, which include 5 short videos featuring Booth and Brennan waiting to see Sweets for partners/couple's therapy.
