Of course, he's read the script ahead of time and already knows the ending. :biggrin: I can't figure out why it's such a popular show. As Dawin points out, the dialogue is horrid.

That is why I say people in the medical profession are over paid! :biggrin:

Oh no, there is NO comparison! The scrubs guy is just a bit arrogant, and not that smart.

House is a freaking GENIUS! And is grumpy due to the constant pain he's in.

it sounds like you may want a House in your Home (at least at sometimes)

(Is there a House in the house?)

Is this season shorter due to the writers strike?

I think so. CSI was also shorter and they had long periods of reruns. This year was rather annoying in that sense, because just as you got into it, you had to wait two months for the next episode.

O man... CSI finale was amazing! ... CSI and House are the only two series I follow (well I never miss south park and the daily show/colbert report either). I don't really have the mental space to follow another show. Two is enough. My guilty pleasure used to be the OC. :blushing: yea. but now it's cancelled.

I know people who follow like every freaking series on TV. Where do they find the time?

For those who have been missing:

A perfectly legal on-line source for the last 8 episodes of House. (Finale is not up yet)

You have to endure 30 seconds of commercials every ten minutes, but it's quick and tolerable.

Make sure you have all your chores/errands/homework done before starting.

So you get the show real time there?

Every time she asked "what's my necklace made out of?" I was yelling the answer at him. :redface:

I just remembered, that I was thinking that too, and was also thinking that House may have 'knew' the answer and was waiting for more 'clues'--then when the mystery lady said something about the 'insect' inside----I thought House was going said something like, "OF COURSE, I knew it was a 'piece' of amber all along---OHHH--that's it--Wilson is sick and dying------he's the one that's been buggering Amber!"

Funny thing is that the netcast of behind the scenes footage from the US broadcast show "Heroes" is only viewable in the UK. It's only shown on tv in the UK aswell.

That's pretty stupid. We're all on the Internet here. You can probably easily just use a proxy and visit the site. Or change the referrer. Or view Google's cache.
