Deb and I are now addicted to "House, M.D."

[Tyler Durden]

The crotchety Vicodin addicted House reminds both of us how much we loathe about 90% of the Human Race, and as a chronic pain sufferer, he speaks to my "wish-I-had-some-drugs" soul.

We saw ONE episode, and after nearly dragging the screen down to the floor from the commercials, we went out the next day and bought the first season on disk.

Any other addicts out there?

1. After I complained about it, I am now hooked too

What do you know.

:hi:

4. House speaks to my inner "asshole."

That's FIGURATIVE asshole. Then again, if it wasn't then it wouldn't be INNER, would it?

[CreekDog]

9. According to the FCC, that's an "excretory organ"

:shrug:

[Midlodemocrat]

2. I really like that show.

[Tyler Durden]

3. "Humanity is overrated."

Hugh Laurie is the new master of line delivery.

5. Present!

Never miss that show.

[Tyler Durden]

6. We are about 1/2 way through the first season....

And we only bought the damned thing on Saturday.

House would be ashamed of us...or not.

[Jamastiene]

7. He speaks to my pain and disillusionment with the human species too.

I, too, am a "House, MD" addict. Wish I had a doctor just like him.

8. I love the first three seasons.

But I never cared for any of the new doctors, and don't miss the current season at all.

[zanne]

13. He had to "soften up" for the current season...

His ratings were going down so the producers told the writers to give him some "human emotion".

[Orrex]

14. That's odd

I recently saw the Sela Ward episodes for the first time, and the "emotion" of that whole story arc struck me as hollow, artificial, and sort of shoehorned into the show.

He's much better as a misanthropic quasi-hermit, IMO.


Regardless, his friendship with Wilson is about the most real male:male interaction that I can currently find on air.

[LostinVA]

10. Haruka got me addicted to it -- it's really good, eh?

[TZ]

11. I love it!

I'm an atheist and a skeptic too..However, not an asshole..so there the resemblance ends..
But DAMN I wish I could get away with some of the funny shit he says...:rofl:

[gbate]

12. It's a great show.

I'm glad there are new episodes airing now.

[Deep13]

15. "They took this out from his skin. The lab says it is a material unknown on this planet."

CHASE: "Really?"

HOUSE: "No, you idiot!"

(Or near enough.)
