House MD

[phisrow]

For those who don't know, it features a bitter, misanthropic vicodin addict with amazing diagnostic abilities and a hatred of more or less all human life. Also, much cruel mockery.

 

[Amplifier]

so how about that Lost?

I like House as well, but only watch it occassionally. After watching 3 or 4 episodes, you quickly grow tired of the medical talk, and the fact that in every episode, they misdiagnose the illness up until the last 5 minutes of the show when it just "hits" them.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I can't deal with it. I actually enjoyed watching it several times, but it seems SO formulaic that ultimately I find it dull and unsatisfying. It seems manipulative to me on some level to be jerked around by such dramatic events, week in and week out, only to have the same happy resolution of every episode.

Yeah, I saw that episode where he is giving her injections. She bends over the desk and hikes up her skirt....

House: (rubbing cotton swab on her ass for a very long time)

Cuddy: "Don't you think it's ready now?"

House: "Those microbes are sneaky... you can never be too safe."

I used to really like this show but it's starting to get old. I just realized it's the same episode every week for the most part.

The show lost a lot when House's wife took off imho.

 

[stevent76]

I enjoy it. I actually just finished watching this weeks episode. Got to love DVR!

 

[bigrash]

Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Cameron) is hot.

 

[Stuxnet]

I like House, but I agree that it's way too formulaic. It's getting to the point where it seem that all of the characters simply serve as targets and launching pads for House.

5 minutes in: someone gets crazy sick
10 minutes in: someone has to convince House that it's an interesting case
15 minutes in: House takes case; person arrives and House determines that it's really just a basic case with simple diagnosis
20 minutes in: person is about to be discharged and then their head/heart/genitals spontaneously explode/ooze/swell/shrink/etc.
21 minutes in: House decides he was wrong
22 - 45 minutes in: person is violated physically and mentally as House ignores every law and ethical standard established in medicine while trying to correctly diagnose person
50 minutes in: House is picking out toejam and has an epiphany
60 minutes in: person is cured, goes home, and House reflects on a seemingly valuable lesson that he learned about human life

Cuddy is hotter then Cameron. I agree cameron needs to gain a little weight.

Rinse and Repeat weekly.

I am in the same boat, I only watch it occasionally now because of the formula outlined above. The first season was great with the business man that runs the hospital for a while. The beginning of the second was decent, but the formula is wearing thin on me now. I need more variety and unpredictability in TV shows I watch.

 

[Strk]

How many shows aren't formulaic? It would be interesting if they lost a few more cases though (I think they've lost three patients so far).

YOu forgot some important things ... namely

They blame it on cancer and call in wilson, hilarity insues as wilson and house interact or Cameron blames it on lupus, which it never is. Foreman mentions drugs, house makes a slightly racist drug reference. Chase has some sort of god/father issue.

I dont care if they seem to follow a trend... there are always a few zingers and awesome twists. The interactions between the cast are amazing. The show is freaking hilarious. Wilson is the man.
