House

O.K. I'll start...

Does anyone else like HOUSE?? The new season started tonight..I'm not sure I'm going to like the way it's going..but the first one always is a little different to get the audience interested.

I sorta liked his iconoclastic demeanor in the past seasons...but maybe it WAS getting old. We'll see.

I am a fan of the show and I watched! I think his friend is jealous of him!!

Not sure I liked it either, hopefully it will get better... we'll see...

Grey's anatomy is next... can't wait!!!

I like House too. In fact it's on tonight here. Think we may still be in the old series. I'll hafta check.

He was great in BlackAdder too.. grin.

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 5:09 am

He does indeed mrsK, especially if heavy metal poisoning is involved. A couple of week's ago someone had anthrax and several other totally unlikely diseases all at once. I'm always enthralled by the speed at which all the tests get done. Not to mention all these lofty medics scraping bits out of people's sinks and rubbish bins er trash cans in between having personal dramatic clashes and seducing their patients. Or, in House's case, assaulting them. All good stuff. Grin.

I am not sure it will "work" with him being pain-free. I think the chronic pain and the limp helped make House who he was. I am not sure if the new House will have the same effect.

I'm a huge fan, love that sarcastic sense of humor. I think the lack of pain is in his head like they were hinting at. His popping pills is part of who he is, I expect his pain to come flying back in another couple of episodes.

I have just completed the first season (mini marathon from Net Flix) and I will be renting season II, The next series I'm going to get is from Briton "The Footballers Wives" I saw a couple episodes on BBC America.:rolleyes:

G-man · Post by **G-man** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 6:16 pm

I love that show... Hugh Laurie is excellent in that! I loved him in BlackAdder, too certainly... his character seems to be modelled after the character of Sherlock Holmes... with the addictions, deductions, his incredible genius (which is why everyone must put up with him... he's the best.), and he's just so nasty to everyone around him, especially the ones closest to him whom he loves and who love him... he seems more concerned, not so much about the patients, as figuring out a solution to a mystery... he could very well be merely solving a crossword puzzle, for all his concern.

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 7:50 am

What did you all think of this week's "alien abducted child" episode? I thought it was great. I am glad that they finally told House he was right about that patient from the other week. They should not have kept it from him.

The pain is back...as is the cane and the vicodin.

libertine · Post by **libertine** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 8:20 am

I liked the Alien Abducted Child better than I liked the first show of the season. With the pain and cane back, House should be his old self again. I, too , am gld that they didn't carry out the not telling him any further than this second show. It would have gotten pretty old next time.

Do you think Cutty is pregnant? And if she is, is "the friend" (can't think of his name to save me) the father?

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 7:26 am

One of the best show on TV, grumpy ol Doctor who is a genius what a concept. I love the characters the plot lines are for the most part riviting..

Here in Italy we are backward steps with these stories.

What does it mean "alien Abducted Child" ?

Do you address to "Doctor House" ?

There was an episode of the show the other week where a child believed aliens were visiting him at night and taking him away.

Doctor House found a disorder in his brain that caused the problem.

I've never watched it but I do love Hugh Laurie. Question for the Americans here; is his accent any good? Does he slip up? He's actually got quite a posh English accent in real life, I always pick up on badly acted English accents in films and stuff. I think that one of the best I've heard would have to be Nicole Kidman's. Fake English accents tend to come over either like bad cockney or the Queen:wah:

wneelz42 · Post by **wneelz42** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 9:33 am

I love House. I hatte that American idol is inerruting it. Do you guys think that House will end up with cuddy or camren?

JacksDad · Post by **JacksDad** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 6:10 pm

Oh the Cuddy thing is so on the move! What a way to leave us hanging for two weeks. Damn Fox!

Move the show to Wednesday so Idol has it's time.

Katy, Hugh's accent is excellent. When I'm watching House I completely forget how posh he can be. Then I see an interview.:-3

The man deserves every award he gets.

Houseisms

Search YouTube for Hugh's audition. Fabulous.

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 6:32 pm

His American accent is great. To be honest, I never had ehard of him before House, and did not even know he was British till I read an article about him not long ago. Recently he won a Golden Globe award, and I heard his "real" voice for the first time. Interesting thing...without even looking, I knew it was him..even with his real voice.

libertine · Post by **libertine** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 11:19 pm

I agree that the Cuddy 'thing' is heating up, but I don't think it will go very far. I think they are both too work oriented. However, I won't be surprised if HE becomes the father of her baby!!!

I think Cameron is getting wise to him. I think she and Chase are going to get it on for awhile, and maybe even fall in love...

I'm glad the focus has m oved from House's addiction. As a background, character motive, it is good, but as the plot mover, it gets old fast.

I agree that waiting two weeks is a bummer!!

JacksDad · Post by **JacksDad** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 7:41 pm

Suggestion.

Libertine, Marie, all in the U.S.

Let's not discuss tonight's episode.

The U.K. and others are a season behind.

They don't need spoilers.

O.K. We're halfway through the 'new' shows : After Idol...What did you think of last night's episode? I think I liked it. Showed a side of House that has always been apparent, but that has never really gotten play. And the last scene was so poignant (if a little melodramatic).

I hope the 'lovers' get off it soon. That is getting old.

But all in all, still one of the best if not THE best show on T.V. these days.

JacksDad · Post by **JacksDad** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 10:37 am

Loved it.

An awakening for all.

After this season I'm going to buy all the episodes on dvd and have a House marathon.

I'm so addicted, it's sad.

:D

911 · Post by **911** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:00 pm

Last nights episode was just on time.

I was wondering when something like that would happen. It wouldn't be the least realistic without something like that eventually happening.

I love House. I never knew he had an accent until I saw him on a talk show after the Stuart Little movie. I was shocked. He's a natural. I can't even do a decent southern accent and I live here! I can't imagine doing an English accent for years like he has.

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:56 pm

911..I agree. Makes a show more realiztinc when they make mistakes now and again.

I just recently found out her was a Brit, myself.

libertine · Post by **libertine** » Tue May 01, 2007 11:41 pm

O.K. How about tonight's episode?? Are we only two weeks from the end of the season, or do we have three to go?? The character developemnt in this particular one didn't surprise me, but it will surprise me to see it come to fruition.

I purposely don't visit any fan sites for House...if there even are any...because i don't want to know what off screen politics and other factors will serve to move the plot, so I can't predict the outcome. It does seem a natural progression except their two characters play off each other so well the story as it is now needs everyone there.

I'm trying NOT to give anything away so the people who don't get it when we do aren't spoiled, but it's hard!!!

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Wed May 02, 2007 6:42 am

I found it interesting...his way of coping with what happpened last week, I think.

I do not visit the fan sites either, but here is my take on the whole thing. Dr. House can be an @ss at times..BUT he is a good Doctor. I think Cutty and the other doctors see that and are unsure how to deal with him..they may not always care for the person, but they respect the opinion of the DOCTOR. And when House used the word "timid", I think that did it.

I think there are 3 more episodes left, but I have been wrong before.

libertine · Post by **libertine** » Wed May 02, 2007 8:25 am

Actually, I think Cuddy and Wilson especially really DO like House as he is. In the episode much earlier where he was trying to be a 'good guy' they couldn't cope. They do respect his ability and are willing to tolerate his major personality flaws. The others, however are still too idealistic to see him as anything but an a$$. I think Foreman is the only one with even a clue, and that is because he is so much like him. It will be an interesting two or three weeks coming up. I don't see House giving in, but I do see him acknowledging the other's right to his actions.

JacksDad · Post by **JacksDad** » Wed May 02, 2007 11:10 am

3 more weeks. The personality plays are great tv. It's what Emmy's are made of.

Although giving a dog a vicodin addiction, welll....:-3

I've been to 'fan' forums. Here's a taste of what they're like.

Are you kidding me? His Hakuna Matata OBVIOUSLY bonded with his cerebral cortex but the real,i.e., underlying problem were the female hormones laced with PABA-236 that were rapidly forming in his marrow.

Uh-huh. Yea. That's entertainment.

libertine · Post by **libertine** » Tue May 29, 2007 10:35 pm

WOW!!! Without giving it away, do you think it's for real or just the end of season cliff hanger?? I'm not sure how I feel about it.

The show tonight was o.k. but I think it is losing a little of the impetus with all the sub plots going on. I prefer more interaction with the patients even if it is House's typical NO interaction. And maybe a little more of Wilson.

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 6:19 pm

Ditto Libertine I was blown away by the ending. Yike its just House now and we have to wait till next season to see if any of them come back. :-5

Oh god, the thought of a whole new team boggles me.

OK..a slightly off topic, but relevent to House aside here. I went to an orthopedic doctor yesterday. Told me I need a hip replacement in a few months. In the meantime...he wants me to use a cane AND take Vicodin. Told my husband about it and he spent the rest of the evening calling me Mrs. Dr House.

I just watched House for the first time last night. I remembered this thread and I saw an ad for it that looked good. It was a pretty good show. I'd watch it again.

It is one of the best show on TV house rocks. I just realized he is the DAD is both Stewart Little movies.

He got a new guitar at the end of the last episode. I have heard him play piano. He did well.

Well, the new season started tonight. It will be interesting!! I think his original team will return in come capacity. His character tonight was a little less arrogant than usual, but I enjoyed the play between House and Wilson.

Looks like another good season
