House, M.D.

I just watched a DVD of some early episodes -- my first viewings of the show -- and I love how all the Britishers think that Laurie's accent is bad while all the Americaners, myself included, had no idea he wasn't born-n-bred in the US.

HOUSE!! Abbott - HOUSE!!

I KNOW I AM FLIPPING OUT HERE. I have been geexing on Hugh Laurie interviews for the past three hours – guy's got the depression, makes me wanna give him a hug even more.

36 minutes to launch.

Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Cameron) is on the cover of Modern Bride er summat this month smiling her not-smile. She's marrying the guy who plays Chase---whole photo spread on the inside of Ralph-Laurened-out Chase looking like he's going to tackle the world in love and glee and there's Jennifer in her strapless gown, looking like an unfriendly cat coming out of anesthesia.

(NB I just saw this mag in the grocery checkout line, I'm not running some House Gallery & Gossip geocities site.)

They broke up! pssst - Sign me up for your site emails. ;-)

WAHT they broke up on the show or IRL? Bcz they are engaged IRL and I would love to see egg on the botoxed face of Modern Bride magazine. I fucking hate bridal magazines.

In Real Life!! It happened a couple weeks ago. I hate them too. The wedding industrial complex is scary.

Episode was alright - next week's looks like a lot more fun though

I'm not running some House Gallery & Gossip geocities site

lol

it was "geocities site" that did it for me

Did anyone else think the bizarre new color to Wilson's personality might play out nicely in the future? He'd been becoming a serious downer for a long time.

Cuddy looks like she's been hitting the gym-totally smoking

Lisa Edelstein has always been way hot (or has a "zesty bod," in the parlance of House).

Agreed-for some reason she looked even hotter last night.

"I don't negotiate with terrorists" *deletes telenovelas*

I don't get the love for this show at all.

so i missed this, is the rest of the cast actually gone and not returning?

I really seriously doubt any of them aren't coming back. In fact I think I've seen some of them make public statements about going back to work on the new season recently. More likely the first handful of episodes this season will be without them just 'mix things up' or whatever.

The full cast is returning, but instead of being on House's team they'll be heading teams of their own (or so says my mom, who read that someplace).

hmmmmm dunno about this new sidekick to-be girl they've set up. on the other hand, "yr eyes are lopsided. and by eyes i mean breasts."

did i read correctly that kumar of 'harold and' fame is gonna be in this now too?? that could also suck. or be cool, i dunno.

Yeah giving his old team their own teams could be alright, but if they're just going to put a new Cameron-type girl on House's team it'll be lame. But this show has already proved itself willing and eager to throw plausibility and character development out the window for an exciting "next week on House" promo. I give it at most 2 more seasons before they do something so ridiculous it gets hard to watch anymore.

I thought the reason to watch this show was the escalating ridiculousness!

Yeah, I'm just saying, there'll probably be a point where it just isn't fun anymore.

Yeah I mean the shark has been in permanent jumpmode since that shit with the cop, the writers realized everybody loves it when house never learns his lesson and boom, fuck an ongoing saga of old man growing up, check this crazy shit out I just saw on discovery health

I don't want House to learn his lesson, I want him to be bloody but unbowed forever. It's wish fulfillment.

Or I should say, I only want him to be accountable to his team who loves him in their own ways, but not to hospital boss guy who makes me thinking about sharp, sharp knives.

Although that guy who played the investigator is kind of hot, he's my type all over and was also Dedaelus in The Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis rowwr.

wow, never had David Morse pegged as the kind of actor that drives the ladies wild.

he was also in disturbia as the milf killer next door

Well, some roles/pics more so than others. But a little hot, sure.

Yeah House is such a good character and HL is such a good actor that it hardly matters if there's anything else going on of interest character- or narrative-wise (and there usually isn't!).

WTF David Morse? THAT plot was HELL OF insultingly dumb, jesus every week it was "okay now YOU can't write scrips now" "HOUSE JUST APOLOGIZE" "I am going to glare and spin my cane they tried to make me go to rehab and I said no no no."

I have been geexing on Hugh Laurie interviews for the past three hours – guy's got the depression, makes me wanna give him a hug even more.

Do you mean he suffers from depression all the time, or that he is depressed about living in the U.S., away from his family?

Thanks for the heads-up about the show being back, btw. I never would have known otherwise and might have missed it.

the five or six real laughs i got from the premiere were the biggest laughs i've had from TV in 2007.

the actual patient part of the story was really sad though.

I enjoy the show, but they're going to have to win me or I won't keep watching. The overamped drama about simply giving the patient dialysis was just weird. A building falls down and everyone's in prankster oodles-of-time mode instead of crisis management. I don't expect everything to be realistic, but I don't want to be distracted from the plot by the suspension of disbelief. Some funny lines though. I was hoping they'd keep the janitor on as his assistant.

they should just set the whole thing at hogwarts really

lol kal penn

i hope he is on the show forevers

I hope he suggests "get 'em wasted" as a diagnostic for every patient

how many roles can he do where he is stoner who is good at medicine tho??

unless there is a harold and kumar go to mayo clinic storyline i am unaware of, this is basically dream role

it was kind of funny how obvious even in the first scene which applicants would get fired right away and which ones would get a speaking part and stick around for an episode or two. "OK, that's Kumar, he's definitely staying, the camera just lingered on that hot girl for a little too long, she's staying." Kal Penn had even less lines in last night's episode than he did in Superman Returns, though! presumably they'll flesh his character out more next week.

ok this shit is just a lil emo here

jesus

close-up on dog was awesome

hey, it's the OC's favorite lesbian

Holy shit thank you milo, I couldn't figure out who she was. Also, it was emo as hell but I shed one. I'm a big wimp.

the dog almost had me too though
