This show airs Tuesday nights at 9pm on Fox.
Watch it.
Seriously.
It's a medical drama but not like any of the others out there. The protagonist, Dr. House, is cantankerous, sarcastic, grumpy. He'll say whatever pops into his head. He hates staffing the walk-in clinic.
However, he is very good at finding the cause of unknown infectious diseases. His sense of humor is so cutting and sharp that you hate him the same time you're laughing.

I really hope they don't cancel that show... Every single time I like a show it gets cancelled or moved around so much I have no idea when it's even on. But, House is good. I like that guy. He's sacastic, intense, bitter and utterly cool.

When I was first in the hospital, my friend was freaked out because there was an episode about a guy who had double vision, lost consciousness, etc. I have not seen the show, as i hate medical stuff, but I have heard it is excellent.
Did you see that episode, Mack?

Did anyone see last night's episode, who can tell me how that girl lost so much weight in one day? Did they project into the future or something, and therefore gove away the fact that the team stays intact?

Well, do you really want to know how it ends?
Spoiler-
House is so cool. He suggested cutting the pay of him and his group. That big dude was not going for it, he was like, "Fire someone." I hope that hot girl doesn't leave. She's kinda hot.

I had a minor problem with last night's episode... In it, he talked to the "pregnant" woman about her kids, and how two brown eyed parents couldn't possibly produce blue eyed children. That was exactly backwards...two blue eyed parents couldn't possibly produce brown eyed children. That kinda bugged me.
Otherwise, it was a great episode as always. I missed almost all of AI though. Who got voted off tonight?

Synesthesia, I watched the show. After the girl is cured, there is a shot of her with the team, the young members, talking to her. This has to be a flash forward, thereby giving away the plot. Or did I miss something? Cuz no way that girl lost 80 pounds in a day.

He is like an evil mind game player. Are there really like that in the hospital world? (I know there are in the education world)

He's such a goon. Bothering House over something as stupid as a jacket when House is the coolest.

I don't think House is cool at all. I like the show, but I would never, ever want him as my doctor. My husband had a Houselike doc when he was in excruciating pain with kidney stones. He was belittling and downright mean.

I think they explain that it's a week later by the way they come in House's office for his answer as to he he'll fire and he says its been more then a week.

I like House and have been watching it regularly. (Just like I used to watch Medical Investigations). Dr. House is an interesting character. Ivygirl got me hooked on this show.
Farmgirl
(for those of you who only saw the one episode - you really kinda need the background on the on-going drama between the doctor and this hospital administrator (the guy who got the position just by giving the hospital 100 million) and a lot of things leading up to that. That part of the storyline continues going from week to week, while the patient part changes.)

I occasionally catch this show, when Jim is watching it. I enjoy the episodes, but not enough to make an effort to catch the show (or tivo it). I must say, though, that it's AWFUL nice to see Robert Sean Leonard again. Oh, yes...very nice indeed. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

Hey now, I was arguing that House DID care for his high risk patients. But when you have someone, who's kid brother is putting toys up his nose while he was "carefully paying attention and studying", it's hard not to be a bit blunt.
As for trying 50 some odd "cures" for whatever is afflicting the high risk patient, it does kind of annoy me that they can never get it right the first time (which isn't to say I'm a doctor and that doesn't happen, just as for TV stuff, it gets repetitive and annoying).
But really, House does care, in the doctor way, he just sidesteps the getting attached part the best he can.
"I mean, how would you like it if I got involved in YOUR personal life." "Ah, that is why I have cleverly avoided having any personal life."
He fights to save his patients, not just for a good track record, but because deep down he loves humanity and values life, he's just blunt about a lot of things because he needs to.

"dawnmaria, there is no way that girl lost eighty pounds in theat amount of time, either. "
Maybe not, but I lost 40 in a week when I was in the hospital with my mouth wired shut. When did they say how much she lost?

Did anyone watch tonight's episode? It was the first time I think anyone has actually died. So sad! When the husband was standing over his wife, I thought for sure she was going to gasp for air and be alive.
And as for last week. Dang, I really wanted him to kiss Cameron!

Nope. Second time. Don't you remember the one with that poor homeless woman? I want Cameron to come back. I don't see why they could not have gotten rid of one of the pretty boys.

I really liked tonight's episode also. It was too much for my wife, though. She cried for over an hour... I had to show her an episode of Fawlty Towers to cheer her up.
I hope they bring Cameron back too. I wasn't buying the whole love story, but I really liked her character, and the team dynamic will likely suffer with only two people. I hope they keep Vogler as well. If they got rid of him for good tonight, I'll be disappointed. He brought some much needed continuity and conflict to the show that has really helped it rise above the weekly formula. Great villain.
There have been a couple bad spots, but on the whole I'm really happy about how this show has developed. Of course the highlight is still the excellent dialogue written for House. But I'm also liking the character development, the plots for the individual episodes and the overall story arc. Swell show.

Cameron will be back, my friends and I saw her in the back of one of the "Next Episode" clips. They couldn't get that by us!! Posts: 3636 | Registered: Oct 2001

The "next episode" clip they showed last night was for a rerun. If that's the one you're talking about, I don't know if it bodes too well. It won't do too much good to only have her back on the repeats.

Speed, tell your wife I bawled my eyes out watching that episode.
I agree that I want to continue to hate Vogler. As for Cameron, hmm, now I have to go check their website!

Vogler just seemed a bit TOO much the villain. And the love interest thing just squicked me out. I couldn't watch those parts.

That was a pretty emotional episode! I was surprised -- my kids were yelling at the characters as they were watching it.
And my son kept saying "this is crap, I'm going to quit watching it" - but then didn't budge a muscle and sat there watching to see what happened next. I take it that means it hit a nerve with him too.

Yeah, some of the parts with Vogler seemed forced, but the "why he's there" seemed very natural. I agree there needs to be SOME conflict outside the usual "mystery illness of the week" thing.
"This person is sick." "Hmmm... is it tuberculousis? Run a test!" "Test came back positive, it's TB." "Ha, that is where you are wrong, it is not TB." "How do you know?" "I'm a Doctor." "Then what is it?" "Hmmmm... is it Cancer?" "Should I run a test?" "Good idea." "Test came back negative, it's not cancer." "Run the test again. And check for menengitis while your at it." "Holy crap, it IS cancer." "Ha ha ha, I totally fooled you, it actually IS menengitis."
I actually do like the show, btw.

Mack, that is how I was with Angela's Ashes. It was sad and all, but what I remember is laughing my behind off.
