'The Finder' Cast Talks Missions, Guest Stars & What's Next (VIDEO)

Calling all "Bones" fans. Hart Hanson's latest show, "The Finder," a "Bones" spin-off of sorts, didn't get such a warm welcome when it premiered last week (Thursdays, 9 p.m. EST on Fox).

The show follows Walter Sherman (Geoff Stults), a vet with a brain injury that gives him an epic case of one-track-mindedness. His mission? To find things ... all kinds of things, no matter where they are. (Translation: lots of gorgeous locations.) His team? Leo (Michael Clarke Duncan), the heavy, the sidekick and the money man; Willa (Maddie Hasson), the gypsy kid with all sorts of sneaky skills who's been sentenced to work at Walter and Leo's "office," i.e. an old dive bar; and Deputy U.S. Marshal Isabel Zambada (Mercedes Masohn), who calls on the crew from time to time, and has a major flirtation with Walter. Naturally.

I'll admit I wasn't initially that compelled to tune in either, but the comedic stylings of the charming cast have convinced me to give it a shot. It also has the stamp of approval of The Huffington Post's Maureen Ryan, mostly because it has a taste of that witty, tongue-in-cheek banter that's made Booth and Brennan one of TV's favorite duos. And if you're after more "Bones"-iness, there's always the chance for more crossover -- this week, Dr. Lance Sweets ("Bones" star John Francis Daley) travels from D.C. to Miami to help the guys out.

I caught up with Stults, Clarke, Masohn and Hasson to find out what we'll learn about their characters in the coming weeks, some of the missions they'll be going on and the scoop about a few fun guest stars, including 50 Cent, Peta Wilson and Mario Van Peebles, who someone may or may not be making out with.

Watch the interview below!

"The Finder" airs Thursdays, 9 p.m. EST on Fox.

I love this show, I wish,the theme song was "what a blind man can see" by the zen road pilots, it would fit the show much better, check it out on youtube...this isn't a put-down, it really would fit like a glove...

I am a big fan of Bones and have since the beginning. I watched the show when the 'Bones' group met 'The Finder' and I liked it and see where The Finder will be a good and interesting show. I didn't think Geoff Stults was "awful". I thought he was acting his role as a somewhat uncomfortable man in the big world. He does fine with his friend Leo but doesn't always know how to communicate and fit in with others. I see a lot of potential with this show and I have my fingers crossed that the network will give this show a chance to find an audience. Love Leo and the way he takes care of and sort of runs interference so Walter looks good. Michael Duncan is great in all ways including his voice! Keep this show on the air, Please!!

The preview during "Bones" was OK, but IDK if "The Finder" will ever take-off... Loved the banter though!

Stults is simply awful. His acting produces an uncomforatbly contrived coolness that is unwatchable. Move on.

Saw the pilot and enjoyed it - a fun take on a procedural. I'll tune back in, but it's a good thing the dvr works, 'cause it's up against Person of Interest.

Doesn't seem like the network is really supporting Finder, though. Which makes you wonder why, since it's from the Bones team, and that's done pretty good for them.

Also, it'd be good if David E. Kelley could watch some of this and take notes - learn the difference between characters with quirks and characters who are quirky just to be quirky (which is what makes most David E. Kelley shows unwatchable any more).

watched 1st week -- liked the show & will continue -- need to give it a chance as well - some of the best start a little slower ie: Seinfeld networks to quick to pull the trigger today -- which is why 90% of shows my wife & I watch are CBS -- have only watched Bones on Fox 0-ABC had watched Detroit-187 but yanked - probably won't go back

I watch this show last week and I think it will take off. Person of Interest, the CBS compition has Taraji P Henson taking the top billing for this show, it is the worst thing about this otherwise great show. so why is she their top star? The ghetto speak Det. Carter.

Taraji P Henson is the worst thing about this otherwise great show. Granted I have never been a fan of hers so maybe I am biased. We get it Taraji, you want everyone to think you have an urban edge so you drop your R's off words; "Shoota", "Killa", etc etc. And you use urban vernacular ; "yo officia". She really makes me role roll my eyes in every scene she's in.

Why is she being allowed to pollute the minds of young black kids with her inferior diction? Do you think Morgan Freeman, Michael Clarke Duncan or Oprah would be stars if they talked that way?
