Beautifully written, brilliantly acted and makes me want to hurl myself in front of..

a bus.

I'm talking about a television show I just happened upon called "House," starring Hugh Laurie as a viciously snappish and almost-likeable atheist doctor.

I don't know whether to commend the producers of this program or sue them.

Anyone else see this?

 

[Recidiva]

I've seen every episode of every season. Yes.

One of my favorites.

Every season? How many?

I can't say I'm sorry I've missed it. It's magnificent, but I feel perfectly awful.

Does the dog always die?

It's at the end of its fourth season now.

Sometimes the dog has lupus. But only once.

The writers of this show are smarter than I am, and for that alone, I adore them.

Hugh Laurie is amazing. I especially adore him because he's British and he's doing an accent for a part of New Jersey that I grew up in perfectly.

There are just not enough good things to say about this show. It's gut and heart and brain wrenching.

The Tudors is my latest obsession...well, since the first season, really.

Lots of sex and infidelity, political intrigue, gorgeous dresses. Did I mention sex?

Good lord. Does that mean I haven't been watching enough television?

He does American remarkably well. I'm dazzled that this is the same Hugh Laurie who was thicker than a whale omelette as Blackadder's Prince Regent.

Yes it is. I'm not sure I can handle much wrenching right now.

the only problem with House is that it almost always follows the same formula. There is hardly any variety to it after a season or two. I still sit there and watch it when someone else is watching it, but I don't go out of my way to see it.

Someone always sticks a pen-knife into an electrical socket to find out if there's an afterlife?

Yes. It does. You need to catch up on Dexter as well.

Oh. Okay. If you're not up for wrenching I don't know how to help you. Almost every show I adore involves some sort of gut buffeting.

If you want funny catch up on Flight of the Conchords and How I Met Your Mother or My Name is Earl.

But there's a lot of good stuff out there to watch now.

It sure as hell beats the choices of my childhood between Love Boat and Fantasy Island versus...um...it's better now.

I think they got formulaic there for a bit, and then they switched it up a lot.

People were joining the cast and leaving two episodes later. This season was great, I enjoyed Kal Penn as staff.

 

[Recidiva]

Someone does get hurled in front of a bus.

Didn't see that one coming.

 

[shereads]

Yes. It does. You need to catch up on Dexter as well.

Dexter doesn't interest me, and My Name Is Earl annoys me. I will watch House again, though.

If you're a serious fan of the show, I apologize for discovering it at this late date and probably dooming it to cancelation. I watched "Twin Peaks" for the first time and adored it, in what turned out to be its final season.

I love "King of the Hill," but manage to miss most of the episodes. That's what keeps it on the air.

Twin Peaks rocked, too.

House is amazing. It's the one show of the current crop of series available that I watch faithfully.

I don't know how you missed it Sher. This definitely seems like something right up your alley!

Good coffee.

That's totally okay. I missed the first two years and had to catch up myself. That was fun.

I should have gotten a memo or something.

I hope it doesn't get canceled, there's still more weird medicine to be practiced. I have two digital video recorders that record two channels at a time, so I have hundreds of hours of TV a week to work my way through. Most of it gets deleted as crap, but every now and then I hit something really good.

Right now I'm actually catching up on some Japanese TV. Old Iron Chef, Ultimate Banzuke and Ninja Warrior.

They just look like they're having so much damned fun.

i saw tonight too, she and no, the dog almost never dies......almost noone ever dies.

the formula is that someone comes in w/ all the symptoms that could be anything. house runs a million tests on the person (those tests are the best, he puts them through hell), the fail 3 or 4 times and at 5 min to the end of the show along comes the answer.

i loved the season finale, if you can watch this summer and catch the end of this last season, you will be hooked.

my favorite is still the one w/ the man in a wheelchair who went into the pool, and in the end they (it turned out not to be house, right?) figure out what was wrong, and he could even walk again.

Being an heiress is right up my alley. I've missed that too.

 

[Recidiva]

Twin Peaks rocked, too.

I wanted to like Twin Peaks, but I didn't. I loved Kyle Maclachlan, but I think I was too young or too creeped out.

I was sorta disappointed in myself.

 

[rengadeirishman]

I used to watch Rome every week, and the Wire. Unfortunately they both are no longer around.

I still enjoy Bones and How I Met Your Mother, and the big bang theory is another i usually watch.

The only thing else i catch every week (and thank god for On Demand, because i'm usually drinking with the lads when it comes on) is Battlestar Galactica

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Ninja Warrior is hilarious. I only see that show muted before my Tuesday poker games, but I watch intently every single time. I love watching some of those cornballs trying to prove how macho they are.

And right now I am waiting for Burn Notice to come back in a week or three.

It's really the only tv show I scheduled myself around. I probably would do the same for The Tudors, but On Demand saves my ass.

eta: it was creepy, a more than a little weird, but that's what I loved about it. The backwards talking dwarf was the best.

Bones is great. I love NCIS as well. But I am never around for either show anymore.

I would never mute Ninja warrior, the announcers hollering and screaming in japanese is my favorite part, they get so excited.

 

[meg1]

but since they moved bones, it comes on at the same time as big bang and how i met your mother....either DVR or choose
