Okay, I'm watching 'House'

[Oeditpus Rex]

Never saw it before, but I figured I should see what all the fuss is about. :popcorn:

1. So what's the fuss about?

What is it anyway - sitcom?

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Hospital drama, I think.

3. It's like a mystery drama and hospital drama combined.

And Dr. House has the opposite of a good bedside manner. But he is smart.

The end.

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Yeah, and I guess he's hot

'nuff said.

Reminds me of "Medical Center" with swearing, or "Becker" with actual patients.

5. He is kind of hot, indeed.

I always mean to catch that show but I never do.
:(

6. Watch the DVD

It's better that way, you can follow what few inter-episode arcs they litter the show with.

Imagine a Doctor as the world's best auto mechanic. He's presented with a problem at the beginning of every show that seems unlikely to ever be solved, and then he solves it.

He also does it by being contrary and surly to the sick people. Just like an auto mechanic.

No offense to the auto mechanics who are great, but you guys are more rare than diamonds.
