Watching House

I’m SO sorry guys!! First we had a few really slow news days, then my entire family got struck down by the Martian death flu that is making its way around the nation. But I’m back! I promise! Oh, and if you have a lot of buildup in your chest, Mucinex really does work!

So where are we at for house? Well, first of all, a few familiar faces are on the new TV Guide cover! Check it out:

How sweet is this cover! Secondly, there is a new House commercial and I can’t find it! All of the chat boards are talking about the newest commercial, where Hugh is apparently on a bus and it goes over sideways - but I can’t find it! If anyone has a link to this, can you please let me know? Thanks so much!

Times Online had a great interview with Hugh - you definitely have to check it out. Here are a few of the snippits that I loved the best.

“I am being very handsomely paid, though. My ship has come in and I’ll be forever grateful.â€? He has made three series of House to date, is halfway through the fourth and is signed up for three more insert me here singing the Hallalujah chorus. Will he then be able never to work again? “That would depend on how long I live,â€? he replies (he is 48), with impeccable logic. “If I step under a bus in a week’s time, the answer is yes.â€?

His sons are 19 and 17, his daughter 14. With another three-and-a-half series to go, his family might now move to California. “It’s taken us a long time to adjust to the permanence of it. The first year I was in a hotel. Everyone else in the show was signing leases on houses and I said, ‘You’re mad. We’re only going to last a month.’ I literally didn’t unpack. I suppose it’s a form of pessimism: if a thing is going well, it’s only a matter of time, tick tock, before someone’s going to take it away.�

He says he would struggle to settle permanently in America. “I do feel very foreign there, as if I’m on safari, looking at the exotic animals and the way they behave. Then again,� he adds, “America is made up of people who don’t feel American until they do, so I’m not alone in that.�

He has, however, bought a ping pong table. “That’s a real luxury.� Is he better than his children? “Er… I’m not bad actually,� he admits shyly. I say I thought he was supposed to be Mr Self-Deprecation. “Yes, I spoke to my shrink yesterday on the phone in LA – you have to have one before they let you in – and I mentioned I was doing this [interview]. I said, ‘I can’t bear going through the same f****** dance of despair. I’m just going to say what I feel.’ And he encouraged that. So yes, I’m quite good at ping pong.� But is he better than his children? “Er… that’s a parenting issue. If I announce publicly… Er… I’d better skip over that one.� His children, he says, are “an unending delight�.

This is one of the better interviews I’ve seen in a long time - you must check it out here
Countdown to a new House folks…just a few more weeks!!!
