Bones: Skeleton Crew (lost spin-off web series; 2006)
Bones: Skeleton Crew was a twenty-six episode spinoff web series of the hit TV series Bones and did not have any of the original cast from the main Bones series. The series debuted on October 6th, 2006, via a subscription through the now-defunct Sprint TV service and followed three untrained investigators as they piece together the events of a mystery. The spinoff was made in conjunction with Fox's partnership with Sprint and MasterCard. Later, the spinoff was released on the official Bones website but was later removed without ever being archived. As of the writing of this article, none of the twenty-six episodes have yet to surface.

They quickly begin to put together the clues to prevent a catastrophe...but with no equipment, no official support, and no time, they'll have to use all their technical skills (not to mention their senses of humor) to stop a terrorist's insane plan.
