House

**Jo Dawn** · 12-30-2006, 03:18 PM

Does anybody else watch this show?

I love it, think it's great. Though I think I watch it (and Monk, for the same reasons, heh) too much. I'm guessing what's wrong (or, in the case of Monk, who did it) before it's over.

I think the cast is great (viva Hugh Laurie. *swoons*), an awesome show. And totally interesting.

My parents got me the first two seasons on DVD, so, as I'm laid up today, guess what I'm watching.

It has humor, angst... Just everything!

Its a great show. I watched the first episode on accident when it first aired.

I now own both seasons and I'm waiting for the third.

Hugh Laurie!! FTW!!! I love this show and it's one of the shows I watch with the folks.

It's always fun to spot the celeb guests. Like when House got shot by Elias "Casey Jones" Koteas.

It's okay. House's humor does get old after a while. On Scrubs it is at least a lot less mean spirited. House just has a heart of ice, and it gets tiring to listen to him because it is always the same routine.

I never seen this show. Although, a lot of people tell me that it's great. Maybe sometime I'll give it a try.

That's what I love about House. Sometimes he makes me cringe a bit, but I love it.

I've watched Scrubs, but cannot get into it. It's much too 'silly' for my tastes. I prefer House over all.

My sister and my mom watch it. I heard an episode once, as they were watching it on DVD in the back seat of the car during a vacation this summer, the guy sounded pretty damn mean. He was making fun of some little fat girl or something? I don't know. Sounded strange.

Greg House is a mean ass. Seriously, there's nothing he doesn't mock or condescend. He has this black guy as his partner, whose ethnicity he constantly insults without actually being racist. His intentions are usually wellhidden behind some weird metaphor he's making involving Foreman. Or there's this girl who gets terribly sick and has only one year to live anyways because she's also got terminal cancer. So House goes there and tells her all about death and how her mommy will be alone so that he can figure out whether there's something inhibiting certain emotional regions of her brain. Generally, his insults are usually always more or less case-related (except when he's bugging Cuddy, he does that for fun), although he seems to be the only one who gets the connection at first. That's the high art of insulting. I want to be able to do that too.

Indeed. But the thing is... He has some underlying problems. It's not that he's just 'a mean guy'... he has some issues. It's facinating, and not just a little bit sad.
