Watching House

On December 9th (three days after my oldest turns 8 - I’m getting so OLD), the House Christmas episode airs! At least, it looks like the Christmas episode, and considering it’s called “Joy to the World’, I’m pretty sure that it is.

Anyway, these photos are awesome - my favorite, however, is this one - look at the white board…do you see brain and the word “Cuddy”? Hmmm…is he diagnosing an illness OR is he trying to figure out his own mind about Cuddy?! What do you think?

A troubled teen collapses during her high-school Christmas program; Foreman and Thirteen learn more about each other as they work together on the Huntington’s disease drug trial; House gives and receives holiday gifts, leading to team speculation; and Cuddy receives a gift as well. Meanwhile, House hopes to win a bet he made with Wilson.

Sorry for the delay on the recap! It’s here now - though - better late than never, right?!

The shows starts at PPTH in slow motion – watching the doctors and the patients. Eventually time speeds back up to normal. A man tries to get Thirteen to give him a refill on his migraine medication but she says that he’s not an emergency.

Foreman approaches Thirteen about clinical trials, including one that is a Huntington trial and that can help to slow the progression of the disease. She says that she’s not following any type of program for her disease.

A man is looking into Cuddy’s office and sees House searching through her desk. He goes in and asks for Dr. Cuddy.

House: She’s either not here, or she’s under the desk. Either way you’re going to have to wait outside until I’m finished.

He starts to leave and asks when she’ll return before he walks away. House just says that she will, not when she will. The man walks back outside and pulls out a gun. Thirteen and a bunch of other people come into Cuddy’s office, followed by the man with the gun. He says that he’s sick and that he wants the best doctor in the hospital to help him or he’ll start killing people.

House: What seems to be the problem?

The man instructs the people to barricade them all into Cuddy’s office. He tells House that he’s been to 16 doctors in 3 years and has had tons of tests in order to get the answer. He says he can’t breathe and that he’s constantly tired. He gets skin rashes, heart palpitations and insomnia.

House: That’s a cool constellation of symptoms. Could be something minor. At least compared to life in prison, which is what you seem to prefer than seeing 16 more specialists.

He gives house the file and throws his cane to the side. Meanwhile the entire ground floor is being evacuated and Cuddy walks into a mess.

The rest of the recap is below the cut!

Back in the room, house is checking the man over and says that he’s not looking at the files because the tests were all negative and the symptoms are what is important. One of the hostages says that his pregnant wife is sick to her stomach.

House: Next time pack some heat and maybe we’ll look into it.

The phone rings and the patient hangs it up. House wants a specific type of machine but since there’s none in the office, he settles for a lighter, which a teenage boy has (bad teenage boy!). He has the patient hold it out as far as he can and try to blow it out. He can’t. House says that the patient has pulmonary scleroderma and that it can be fixed.

The phone rings again and the patient has House answer it. It’s Cuddy and House tells her he needs a special medication in order to diagnose the pulmonary scleroderma. The patient wants Cuddy to bring it in because she’s not a guard or cop.

House: She might be armed. I’d have her deliver it shirtless.

House takes the package from Cuddy and prepares a syringe. The patient wants House to give the medication to someone else first. One of the patients tries to get House to give the meds to Thirteen, but as she’s sick, House says he can’t. He gives the meds to the larger guy who had the migraine in the beginning and tells the patient to roll up his sleeve. Before he can, however, the hostage passes out.

The patient pulls the gun on House.

House: You’re not going to do anything. You need me.
POtW: You’re right. I need you. I also need you to know that you can’t screw with me.

He moves the gun and shoots one of the hostages in the side. The phone rings again as we go to commercial.

Back form commercial and it’s still ringing. Thirteen is trying to help the gunshot victim. The patient tries hanging up the phone but Cuddy keeps calling him back. The hostage negotiator finally shows up and says that they need to set up perimeters.

Cuddy: By perimeters you mean snipers? We need to get those people out of there.
Negotiator: Got a husband or a loved one in there?
Cuddy: Um, no.
Negotiator: Don’t worry. We’ll decide when it’s time to start shooting.

Cameron is with Taub and Kutner when house pages Kutner. Foreman calls him back with all of the ducklings, both new and old, with him. Chase, however, isn’t having any of it.

Chase: You think he’s the only guy in New Jersey with an unsolved illness and a pistol? I’m not playing this game.

Chase walks out of the office. Cameron, however, says that he’s still there. House takes down some of Cuddy’s artwork and starts using it as his white board. He instructs Foreman to get the test supplies needed for bloodwork, Cameron to comb through his past medical history, and Taub and Kutner to go to his apartment to check for toxins. The patient gives his address quickly, and House notes that since he’s willing to give it, he’s not going back there, which means he has “an end game.”

The phone rings in the lobby and Lt. Bowman (our hostage negotiator) answers the phone. House has the nurse who was taken hostage draw his blood and after she’s done, the patient suddenly hangs up the phone and tells the hostage to open the blinds a little bit. Thirteen ends up doing it and they see snipers by the window. They back up once the patient says that he will kill Thirteen if they don’t back away.

House says that it’s interesting that the patient could hear the snipers, as no one else could, and that the patient has hyperacusis. House believes that this means that it is a nerve problem. The patient is able to smile but it is lopsided. House says that there is a test that they can do to check for the herpes disease that he believes that the patient has, but the test is painful, while the treatment is painless. The patient wants the test.

The phone rings and it’s Lt. Bowman. Lt. Bowman says that he won’t send in the capcasin unless the POtW is willing to give something back. He says that they can have two hostages, but that Cuddy has to bring everything in. Lt. Bowman says that it’s not going to happen, and keeps using the POtW’s name – Jason.

House: First, don’t use his name so much. It doesn’t sound reassuring, it just sounds creepy. Second, come on, he’s not going to shoot the one person he trusts to bring in his medication. He’s going to shoot the hostages if she doesn’t bring it in.

Lt. Bowman simply says that he’ll get back to them and hangs up the phone. Cuddy is fine with doing the transfers. She brings a wheelchair for the patient who was shot and takes out him and the big guy who was zonked out by the meds.

The child in the room says that he’ll take the shot, which is supposed to be painful, but House is going to give it to another guy. Thirteen, however, stands up and says that she’ll take it.

House gives the medication to Thirteen who crumbles to the ground in pain, a sign that she doesn’t have herpes.

House: Wow. I would’ve laid $20 that you had herpes.

He goes to give the POtW the shot and figures that the patient was defined by his work, and that he missed time and messed something up, which is why he’s so desperate for an answer. He gives him the shot and he’s in pain from it, proving that it’s not nerve damage and he doesn’t have herpes.

Meanwhile Taub and Kutner are in the guy’s apartment. Everything is laid out for them to see, making Taub remark that the guy was waiting for them. Kutner finds that the patient is thousands of dollars in debt with medical bills.

Taub: I’ve got debt too, you don’t see me acting like a lunatic.
Kutner: There’s no excuse for what he’s doing, but if you’ve got millions of people thousands of dollars in debt because they’re sick, at least one of thems going to do something inexcusable. Especially if it works.

Foreman and Cameron are checking the blood and the white count is normal, ruling out infection. While they’re diagnosing, Thirteen notices that the patient has a distended jugular, and that his heart is racing. House does a massage to try to help but it doesn’t work. The patient wants paddles so that they can slow his heart down, but House refuses because he’s got his finger on the trigger and the shock will pull the trigger. The patient refuses to give up his gun, however, leaving them at an impasse.

Thirteen suggests cardioverting chemically. She says that she’ll go get the meds. The guy gives her thirty seconds to get them from the crash cart. As she’s getting them, the sniper is at the door to the clinic.

House thinks she’s going to go, and that she should go. He almost shoots the boy – and then a nurse who puts herself in the line of fire (and then says “don’t shoot me” – which House finds intriguing). Thirteen comes back. The patient wants her to take the meds, but it slows the heart and House says that it isn’t okay when you’re dealing with a normal heart rhythm. Thirteen injects herself and falls to the floor.

House gives the patient the meds and his heart slows. House notices that the patient is sweating on one side of the heart but not the other, and says that it means that he has lung cancer.

Thirteen’s heart is below 50, and House says to help her up and to move her around. The POtW says that he needs proof that it’s cancer, so, of course, House calls Wilson. The patient can’t spit on the floor because his mouth is dry due to the lung cancer metastasizing. The patient, however, wants a test to prove it.

House: Good idea. Oh, damn, I left my CT machine in my other pants.

The patient willingly gives up two more hostages in order to get to radiology. He ties up Thirteen, House, the teen boy, the nurse, and another male hostage and they walk together slowly to radiology. House is trying to figure out what happened to make the guy snap. His answer?

POtW: I just want an answer. That’s all.

House looks at him strangely.

They slowly shuffle to radiology and get untied. Meanwhile the swat team is slowly creeping up into the CT hallway.

The patient has House get the machine (the computer) from the other room and bring it into the CT room. House refuses to believe that curiousity is not enough of a reason for the patient to have snapped.

POtW: This is my body. My life. There’s a truth out there. I’d rather rot in jail knowing than…I can’t handle not knowing.
House: Yeah.

House says that the metal from the gun is causing the CT to not work properly and shows the POtW the screen. He refuses and pulls the gun on House. Some hostages run out because he finally gives up the gun. The teenager, however, is still there. He says he’s stayed because he’s curious.

The phone is ringing in the background as House looks at the POtW after the CT scan. House says that there isn’t a tumor on the screen, and that he doesn’t know what the POtW has. House gives the patient back his gun. Wait, let me type that again, HOUSE GIVES THE PATIENT HIS GUN BACK.

House answers the ringing phone and says “he overpowered me, got the gun back.” Thirteen is upset that he’s given the gun back to the patient. House, however, says that he’s not scared, he’s arrogant, and that Thirteen is scared…of death.

The ducklings and Wilson (minus Chase) are back in House’s office. They’re trying to diagnose when Foreman leaves because he thinks House is going to kill someone. While the POtW is answering questions, House notices that he’s turning his head and favoring the right ear.

The patient gives up the teenager in order to get the meds to test. The patient wants House to give Thirteen the meds – he refuses, but Thirteen grabs the meds and gives it to herself. House then gives the patient the meds. The patient thinks that Thirteen should do something for her disease.

House: I can’t decide which is riskier. Taking crazy risks or taking advice on crazy risks from a crazed risk taker.

Thirteen’s heart is racing and she’s got a fever, while the patient’s breathing is unchanged. Thirteen’s kidney’s are shutting down due to the meds.

House tries diagnosing with the ducklings and Cameron says that maybe something is protecting the guy’s kidneys.

House: I need to slap you. For diagnostic purposes. Seriously. If I were jerking you around I’d say that I needed to kick you in the groin.

House slaps the patient realizes that he’s got calcium deficiency – and that he has something that has a long incubation period. Cameron thinks it’s Melioidosis, except that you can’t have it unless you’ve been to a tropical climate. He swears he hasn’t.

POtW: I’ve never been anywhere south of Florida.
House: You idiot.
POtW: Florida counts?
House: Well not to the supreme court, but it’s warm enough for germs. You’ve been blaming doctors and you can’t even give a halfway decent history.

The patient says that he can have Dr. house as a hostage. House would rather he let thirteen go and he take the meds. He says that they’ll kill Thirteen if he gives them to her. House says that he’s not leaving even though thirteen wants him to.

Thirteen: Who’s the martyr now? Either the drugs kill me, or he kills me, it doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference.

The SWAT guys come with the meds and House shuffles out.

It’s thirteen and the POtW sitting in the CT room and she’s talking to him. He says that she wants to die but that she doesn’t have the nerve to do it herself. She starts to inject herself but begs that he not make her do it. She goes to stick the needle in again and can’t do it.

Thirteen: I don’t wanna die. I don’t wanna die.

The man throws down his gun and goes to inject himself when a blast destroys the wall and they both are knocked down. The SWAT team rushes in and finds them both laying on the ground. House rushes in to check on Thirteen and finds that she’s still alive.

The SWAT team cuffs the patient and hauls him out.

House: Why are you still alive?
Thirteen: He didn’t make me take it.

As the POtW is leaving, he realizes that he can breathe and smiles at House.

Thirteen is laying in a bed and Foreman is next to her. She’s on dialysis due to the kidney failure, but it’s only temporary. She hints that she’d like to be in on the drug trial.

Cuddy goes into her office to see it wrecked, with blood on the walls and House’s writing on them as well. He comes back in to get his cane and House says that he understands why the patient did what he did.

House hints at a relationship, but doesn’t come clean about wanting to have one. Cuddy goes to open her desk…the drawer falls open because House rearranged it to be upside down.

Well, doesn’t this episode look interesting. There’s a very ominous looking photo of Taub and Kutner near a dead person. Hmm. And Cuddy moves into House’s office! Interesting…

A fitness guru known for her “natural” lifestyle collapses while shooting an infomercial. Meanwhile, Thirteen participates in a clinical drug trial for Huntington’s Disease led by Foreman; Kutner operates an online medical-advice clinic under House’s name; and Cuddy moves into House’s office while hers is being repaired, much to House’s dismay.

Opens in a steel family and a young girl is talking to a guy about giving money to some sort of charity. She starts to be short of breath and grabs her chest. She falls down on the steel conveyor belt and the old man stops it and calls for an ambulance.

House steps out of the elevator and confirms that he didn’t ask Cuddy out. The ducklings start telling him about the 16 yo patient and they tell him that she’s an emancipated minor. Her parents died last year and she got emancipated to avoid foster care. She got her GED and started working.

Kutner is backing her up and says that just because she’s a teenager doesn’t mean she’s into drugs and sex. House wants him to check for drugs and a pregnancy just in case.

Foreman comes into House’s office and says that he’s been asked to help in a clinical trial. House says that he can’t because clinical trials take time, and “your time is my time”.

Kutner’s doing an echo on the POtW (Sophia) and says that he lost his parents when he was si and that it gets easier. Kutner says that her heart is healthy.

Taub and Thirteen are checking the girl’s apartment, which is well taken care of and organized considering her age. Thirteen finds a bong in her house.

The rest of the recap is below the cut!

Opens with a man lying on the ground with flowers also on the ground in front of him. People come in and crush the flowers – paramedics – and are trying to treat him. He is outside of his house on a stretcher when he punches a paramedic and runs back into the house.

Cameron is in front of House and the ducklings talking about the POtW. Apparently the patient and his girlfriend were shot seven years before, which is why the patient is now severely agoraphobic. Cameron knows that patient due to talking to him through the door when she as a community outreach doctor.

House sees Cuddy through the glass and she stops to talk to him. He heads out to talk to her. She hands him takeout menus as a ruse to talk to him. She says they only kissed because she was emotion and he let his human side show for a moment.

Cuddy: I just want to say thank you for not taking advantage.
House: You’re welcome. Any time you want to stop kissing, I’m there for you.

House goes back into the room and Thirteen asks what Cuddy wanted.

House: I hit that last night and now she’s all up in my jock.
Thirteen: Wow. Looks pretty good for someone on rufees.

The rest of the recap is below the cut!

We didn’t have any House last week, but it was kind of hard to miss it due to the huge election coverage! I don’t know about you, but I was stuck to the television watching as the nation made its choice.

This week, however, we’ve got “The Itch” to look forward to! Then, a week later, we’ve got “Emancipation”. A week after that we’ve got “Last Resort”, which looks like it’s going to be really good - check it out!

A gun-wielding man from the waiting room at the Princeton-Plainsboro clinic takes House, Thirteen and several patients from the waiting room hostage in Cuddy’s office. The man claims to be sick with a long undiagnosed illness and demands medical attention from the best doctor in the hospital, threatening to kill any hostages necessary along the way. With a room full of already sick patients, House must use them as guinea pigs to assure the hostage-taker that the medications he is administering to him are legitimate. As Cuddy and the rest of House’s team communicate with House over the phone to run tests and offer possible diagnoses, they ponder the possibility that the hostage-taker has nothing physically wrong with him and that everyone in Cuddy’s office could wind up dead. With one hostage already shot, Thirteen wagers her own already diminished health as she simultaneously receives the experimental treatments the hostage is receiving. Her life lies in danger as House’s own determination to diagnose the hostage-taker threatens to thwart the SWAT team’s plan to put an end to the standoff.

Hugh Laurie and the entire House cast (minus Kal Penn) celebrated their 100th episode recently and the entire crew had a huge blast! Looks like Hugh gave a little speech before everyone decided to attack the cake with various medical instruments. What I wouldn’t give to have been at that party - looks like it was a blast!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t WAIT for the 11th! Remember, no House this week due to the Presidential Election coverage (I don’t care who you’re voting for, only that you get out and vote please!). We’ve got some stills from the episode that will be airing on November 18th - Emancipation - and the info about the episode below!

First, let me show you what I’ll be talking about right now -

Now, let’s discuss the kiss. Some people, including a commenter here, have said that they didn’t like the way that the kiss happened. That it happened due to the stress of the situation, and that there were better ways it could have been done.

I actually disagree in this case. We all know that House has a thing for Cuddy…what kind of a thing is yet to be determined (at least in its fullness). Cuddy, however, would never have gone to House and just kissed him - especially since she would never have been sure if he would have rejected her or not. It needed to happen in this type of a high stress situation.

And coming from a viewing standpoint, I loved that they stopped the music and had one note just hanging there…kind of symbolic, in a way, don’t you think?

So let’s hear it: what did you think about the much awaited for Huddy Kiss?

House opens with a man looking at leaves out of his window. Seems like a normal man – drinking coffee, checking off….lists? Has five coffee makers on his counter. His daughter comes in and they have a very weird discussion. He goes to use the last coffee pot and it’s empty – then sees that they’re all empty, even though he just used them. Gets out more coffee and sees that the coffee pots are GONE. Yup, he’s hallucinating. His daughter is back again and says that it’s 4:30 – when just a few minutes ago it was 8:15. He’s losing track of time. Next thing he knows he’s in the living room in front of his laptop. And we go to the opening song…

House comes in and Cuddy tells him he’s late. She says they’ve got a new patient.

Cuddy: 37 year old man, recurring blackouts.
House: Tell him to switch from tequila to burbon.

House switches the conversation from the prospective patient to her potential adoption and he finds out that she’s meeting the new potential mother.

House and the ducklings are diagnosing when House does the “pick a date” scene on the board as to when Cuddy will back out of the adoption. POtW is a consumer tester. House asks them to check his home for toxins and Kutner is IN on the baby pool, under the pseudonym “Skutner”. House thinks she’ll meet the mom and bolt.

Taub and 13 are at the house and we learn that the POtW is a single dad and that he only “smelled” the coffee. Taub thinks that single parents shouldn’t be single parents.

Thirteen: My dad was great.
Taub: He might be the exception. On the other hand, you are fairly screwed up.

Thirteen finds mold behind the baseboard and begins testing the daughter for exposure to mold. The POtW’s kid goes to school and really nowhere else. Thirteen and Foreman are in the lobby and see Mr. Harmon (POtW) standing in the hallway and he keeps repeating “I have an appointment, I really have to go”. Foreman thinks that he’s asleep – sleepwalking.

The rest of the recap beneath the cut to protect those who don’t want to know!

If you’re like the majority of House fans, you’re dying to know what happens tomorrow night! Me too! Unfortunately these promo pics give us NO IDEA as to if Cuddy’s baby makes it. These are the promotional pics for episode 5×07, entitled “The Itch”, and is actually the 93rd episode overall! Seven more episodes and we’ll have hit 100! Wow!

An agoraphobic man falls ill and refuses to leave his home to be treated at the hospital. Therefore, House and the team go to his home to figure out what might be wrong. Cameron takes charge of the case as she had treated the patient in the past and she and the team figure out ways to treat him at his home. However, the patient’s condition worsens and it becomes difficult to treat him at his house, therefore House and the team plan to get the man into the hospital for surgery without causing any problems. Meanwhile, Cameron and Chase attempt to work through issues in their relationship, and House deals with an annoying itch he cannot seem to scratch, with Wilson making his own analogies about the problem.

There’s a film of smoke-like over the photos. I wonder if it’s because the man’s house is smoke-filled, but then even smoking cigarettes wouldn’t leave that kind of smoke hanging around. Any ideas?

(more…)

Well, we sure have a lot to discuss, don’t we? First I want to talk about the whole Thirteen/lesbian kissing scene thing. I, too, was surprised that it was allowed on at 8 pm - which leads me to believe that the time change wasn’t set up for 8 pm originally. But that is neither here nor there.

A lot of you have told me how much you disliked that scene, and how you dislike Thirteen in general. I can’t say as I disagree with you - I’m surprised to say that Thirteen makes me want Cameron back! I don’t have a problem with the whole lesbian thing because they did explain (sort of) why she’s going for women instead of guys, so it’s not just the writers trying to get a gratuitous sex scene in there. But I watch and wonder: will Thirteen’s life mean something? Which, I believe, is the point.

Next is the look on House’s face when he found out that Cuddy was adopting. Here it is:

Some of you have said you think House looks that way because he’s realizing that everyone’s moving on. I don’t think so - call me a romantic but I think it’s because HE wanted to be the one to be with Cuddy, and he knows that she’s not going to need him or want him around as much if she’s got a baby. Maybe he doesn’t want her sexually, but he does want her in his life, and he knows that it will change once a baby comes into the picture.

Finally some spoilers for next week’s episode - if you do NOT want to see spoilers, don’t click below!

Hi guys! I’m so sorry I didn’t get this preview up yesterday like I wanted to - my best friend bought me a ticket to see New Kids On the Block in Boston and by the time I drove home from there it was 4 am, so I was catching up with sleep and trying to get my work caught up! In order to pay for my sins, I’ve included not only the synopsis and some photos, but a few sneak peak videos as well! Looks like the PI Lucas is back this round and one of my favorite little-known actors, Breckin Meyer (Clueless, anyone?) will be on tonight - yay!

Remember to come back for the review right after the show tonight! (We’re watching it live tonight so that we can watch Iron Man after…)

A struggling artist (Breckin Meyer) taking part in three drug trials to pay his bills is also suffering from something that’s altering his perception and threatening not only his livelihood but his life as well. Meanwhile, House has Lucas (Michael Weston) look into the private lives of his team, including Taub, whose marriage is in trouble.

We open with a woman playing tennis – she drops to the ground. Then we’ve got a construction worker working a crane lift. He falls out of the cab. Next is a kickboxer who suddenly drops as well. Then, a tuba player who coughs up blood and then falls. The bodies are piling up here.

13 walks into an auditorium and grabs a brown haired woman who was teaching and who had a corneal transplant five years before and whisks her away.

The duckies and Dr. House are trying to diagnose what is wrong in the morgue when House asks…

House: What did Wilson do for me?

The ducklings have two patients – the brown haired lady and “Frank” who has a problem with his pancreas. The only thing that the patients have in common is that they all were recipients of a transplant from a singular donor. House tells the ducklings to go check out what cancer killed them all.
House shows up in the cafeteria and asks the lady to put his tab on Dr. O’Shea, who pays for the lunch. He’s checking out the doctor to be a new friend! Foreman shows up and says the patients eye is fine but that he wants to remove it to see what’s wrong. House actually argues FOR doing something like this, and he’s arguing against it because it is her only working eye. He says it’s something else killing her. He asks Dr. Oshea if he wants to come over and watch something on television.

Dr. Oshea: You know I’m not gay, right?
House: Neither am I. If you don’t want to have sex, that’s fine with me.

Oshea, however, isn’t going over to House’s.

The rest of the recap is under the cut to protect people who haven’t seen the show yet!

So I’ve been bad for not doing a review of the episode - I guess my opinion is that if I can’t get the review up by the next morning, there’s no point in doing it. The review for next week’s episode, “Not Cancer”, however, WILL be done that night or on Wednesday morning - guaranteed! I guess having House move to a new time slot has messed all of us up a bit.

So what’s up next week for House? Check it out!

When several people die suddenly and without warning five years after receiving transplants from a single organ donor, House and the team rush to save the only two surviving recipients. With one already dying and other healthy but sure to fall ill at any moment, the team must find out what was wrong with the original organ donor. As the team sorts through the records on the deceased donor recipients to find the common thread, they must deal with a new intrusion. House has hired Lucas (Michael Weston),[1] a private investigator, to dig up information about the deceased despite the team’s skepticism. Meanwhile, House auditions new best friends to replace Wilson, and soon uses Lucas for his own personal means to spy on Wilson and the other team members.

Oh yes! House and a private investigator! That’s perfect!!

Here are the screen shots for the next episode, and although I don’t know much about Michael Weston, I like the looks of him from the preview shots!

And it’s important whether we like the character or not, because David Shore will be making a whole series around him!

“We brought in a character, partway through the year, Michael Weston as this private investigator House goes to,” Shore told Newark Star-Ledger. “The spinoff would be less of a spinoff, it would be more us using House to launch it. It would be an independent world. A character out of the House mould, but definitely different.”

“He appears very early in season five,” Shore continued. “House is constantly sending people to break into people’s homes, and he does it the right way in one episode. It’s a character that only House could love.”

Wow - umm - hmmm - what do you think of Shore using House as a way to launch a new show?

Also, I loved one of the promo shots so much that I messed around a bit this morning and made a new House desktop background. It’s yours if you’d like it!
