My fiance and I love House. He's not a huge fan of a lot of shows on tv, but he likes that one.

I like that he shows I'm not the only Vicodin-poppin' person around. lol I also think he wants Cuddy to ask him to be her sperm donor. Did you all catch it when he was rubbing the alcohol on her ass? He was a little too into it. lol

See my earlier post.

A nice ass indeed

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.

yup.

not only does it just hit him it is usually tied in with one of the mundane events of life, like one of his fellow doctors will ask him an unrelated personal question that gets him to take a different look on the illness at hand and VOILA you have something.

so you keep asking yourself, is all diagnostic ability purely dependent upon these random loose association discussions?

Scrubs is trash.

House > Scrubs.

I don't get why anyone would watch Scrubs with today's great shows.

That said, 24 > Grey's Anatomy >>> *

Grey's Anatomy is too melodramatic. Izzy pisses me off

house is a medical show with character development on the side, grey's anatomy is a drama show with medical cases on the side.

different focuses. i prefer grey's anatomy myself altho i watch both.

favorite show on TV right now tho is still BOSTON LEGAL.

Haha I didn't see that. She does, indeed, have a nice ass.

If you were him, wouldn't you be a little TOO into it, too? That ass was pretty much perfect.

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

I'd have to take a closer look before I can make that determination.

I used to love watching 'doctor shows' with my mom who is a surgical nurse, she'd constantly say how ridiculous and fake most of them were.

I don't watch TV much anymore but last week she called me laughing hysterically over the Grey's Anatomy finale about how terrible some of the medical stuff was.. you think they'd spend 5 minutes reading up on stuff before they butcher it.

I guess it's much like how computers are portrayed on the silver screen and on TV, complete nonsense for those who actually know what they're talking about.

House is an awesome show, I never miss it. I particularly loved the two part episode recently, that was amazing. However, I'm sick of having House's sore leg drummed into me every couple of episodes. Yeah, we get it. His leg hurts. Move on.

That's kind of why I like House so much. You can more or less ignore the medical stuff. It's the interaction between the staff that's so awesome.

And yet, they went out of their way to let people know that they actually employ a retired surgical nurse on the show to make things as realistic and accurate as possible (including using real equipment).

How funny is that?
