So, recently there was a Bones episode in which Booth's grandfather comes to stay with him for a while. While at Booth's apartment, he starts a fire because he puts a towel on top of a burner that he left on. Ultimately, he decides to return to the senior facility he checked himself out of.

Tonight, I'm watching the most recent episode of NCIS, and I notice that the same actor who played Booth's grandfather is playing Gibbs' dad. I should have noticed this before, but the two episodes weren't close enough to each other (Gibbs' dad showed up in an earlier episode). In any event, I chuckled a little, thinking, hey, does that make Gibbs Booth's uncle? Do they ever hang out? Is there any mentoring? I mean, they're _in the same city_ (both shows are supposedly set in the DC area, altho neither one is filmed there).

I go back to Treasure Madness while watching NCIS, when Gibbs gets called home unexpectedly because his dad has started a fire in his house. In this case, it's because he was trying to lay a fire in the fireplace and the flue hasn't been cleaned recently.

But still. First, that guy is clearly not someone you want as a houseguest. And second, is Hollywood derivative or what.
