The hourglass of identity

Twentysomething and post-twentysomething fans of Joss Whedon from days of yore, prepare to feel old. I have stumbled upon a fact.

Remember David Boreanaz?
Yeah, this guy, Angel. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's swoony first love, appearing in the first three seasons and sporadically thereafter in a total of 57 episodes, later the lead singer of a rotating angst band on his own eponymous show, which ran for 111 episodes

Well, this Monday, September 30th, marks the day that Angel is surpassed by this guy:
Special Agent Seeley Booth, who has appeared in every episode of the crime dramedy Bones. All 169 episodes, this coming Monday.

So while in our hearts, it may always be the case that that guy from Buffy and Angel is on a crime show now, the truth as of Monday is that that guy from Bones was in some vampire shows in the late 90s and early 00s.

No offense to Mr. Boreanaz, who is great, by the way.
