Thread: House

I totally agree. Hugh Laurie is an amazing actor. I didn't know he was British until I saw him on the Jay Leno show. I hope it sticks around for a while. But it may not last as long as other medical shows. Many other shows, like E.R. have a rotating cast of characters, but if Laurie gets injured, or gets tired of the role, House is tanked.

Yea, I know what you mean, but I think it will last a while as most medical shows do. House's personality also sets it apart from other medical shows too.

That's for sure. I can't think of a show that profits as much from a hilarious jerk.

Dr. Cox from Scrubs. You lose.

The only thing I don't like about House now is - how much more can Cameron, Forman, Chase, Wilson, etc - how much can they take? I mean he faked cancer to try and have a drug drilled into his head!! And all Wilson had to say was "have a pizza" - how about "I'm forcing you to go to rehab now!"

But a great show overall still.

I only watch three things on TV.
In order ---- The weather channel icon_wink.gif House and Greys anatomy. smiley.gif
I think this is it's second season. I like it.

Never seen the show. Doesn't it run after primetime? I'm pretty sure House has won more awards, and since it is based on Dr. House, it seems to have profited more.

I think that they want you to forget these things as the week passes. But I suppose their bond is like a family. I can't stand my siblings, but I usually forgive grudges within that period.

Did anyone see last tuesday's episode about the mother and here fetus?

One of my favorite parts were the lines that went something like:
Cuddie(to House): what are you doing?
House: Your job since your doing mine.
Cuddie: You don't have the Cleavage.
House: But my ass is tighter.

I agree.
Although an ass (or acting like one) he has a trait that I think all of us would like to have to some degree. Complete honesty.
My neighbor was a bit like that. In the real world it does not go over very well. Not too many people liked him. But it said it how he saw it. And he was liberated from what others thought about him.
I myself would like that.
But I will remain a kiss ass unless money makes me eccentric. But without any money I would be considered a prick with no job.

I saw a clip of it the other day. Something seems so very wrong about Hugh Laurie playing an angsty American. He's supposed to be a slightly confused upper class English man.

I love that show!! House reminds me a little of Alex on Grey's Anatomy, which I also love.

Ahhh!!!! I love house! So much in fact, that I've taken to watching the newest episodes online. I'm up to Season 3 ep 17 (well just finished it). And Hugh Laurie is AMAZING. Oh and House has some awesome lines...


Dr. Gregory House: Chicks dig this
[waves cane]
Dr. Gregory House: It's better than a puppy!

I know what you mean. I would love to be completely honest with people but honesty is not what they want to hear. I mean I doubt you would get very far in the business world if you were completely honest with everyone. They want to be praised, they do not want to know the truth. Not many people want to hear that their idea is stupid or that that shirt looks horrible on them, etc.

House is by far my favourite television show. Its pretty much the only thing I watch on TV, and I watch it religiously

I absolutely love it

He has so many great 'Houseisms'

A few of my favourites:

After Tritter took all of House's vicodin, and he goes to his 'secret, secret, secret stash' - True House fans'll get this one XD
*opens a text book and takes out a thing of vicodin inside*
Cameron: You hid your vicodin in a Lupus text book?
House: Its never Lupus.

In the episode with the dwarf mother and her daughter:

Dwarf Mother: Are you high?!
House: Higher than you *snickers*

Heres some, but I can't remember the episodes they're from

Cameron: Men should grow up.
House: Yeah. And dogs should stop licking themselves. It's not gonna happen.

Foreman: I think your argument is specious.
House: I think your tie is ugly.

House: A patient comes because she's sleeping 16 hours a day, and it takes ten doctors and a coma to diagnose sleeping sickness.

House: How does someone just start drooling? Chase? Were you wearing your short shorts?

Chase: In pre-med, I had a professor who...
House: - touched you in the naughty place?

Chase: You two are just too nasty to each other not to have been... nasty.
House: Hey, I can be a jerk to people I haven't slept with. I am that good.

House: [to the crowd in the walk-in clinic's waiting area] Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm Doctor Gregory House; you can call me "Greg." I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning.
Cuddy: Short, sweet, grab a file.
House: This ray of sunshine is Doctor Lisa Cuddy. Doctor Cuddy runs this whole hospital, so unfortunately she's much too busy to deal with you. I am a bored... certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I am also the only doctor currently employed at this hospital who is forced to be here against his will.
[to Cuddy]
That is true, isn't it?
[to crowd]
But not to worry, because for most of you, this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of which, if you're particularly annoying, you may see me reach for this: this is Vicodin. It's mine! You can't have any! And no, I do not have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem... but who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell. So, who wants me?
[nobody moves]
And who would rather wait for one of the other two guys?
[everybody raises their hand]
Okay, well, I'll be in Exam Room One if you change your mind.
Cuddy: Jody Matthews?
[Jody raises her hand]
Please accompany Doctor House to Exam Room One.

Cameron: Twelve-year-olds don't have sex.
House: Their mistake.

Foreman: You assaulted that man!
House: Fine. I'll never do it again.
Foreman: Yes you will.
House: All the more reason this debate is pointless.

Wilson: Billionaires buy movie studios to get laid. They buy hospitals to get respect.
House: And the reason you want respect?
Wilson: To... get laid.

House: Right rudder. Bank, bank, bank!
Cuddy: Good coffee? The rest of this hospital is busting its tail and you're...
[House's eyes get really wide, and he hides them with his folder]
Cuddy: What are you doing?
House: Trying to think of anything except the produce department at Whole Foods.
[Wilson smirks]
Cuddy: I am working. It got hot. Stop acting like a 13-year-old!
House: Sorry. You just don't normally see breasts like that on Deans of Medicine.
[Wilson avoids looking at Cuddy's chest]
Cuddy: Women can't be heads of hospitals? Or just ugly ones?
House: No, they can be babes. It's just you don't normally see their fun bags.

House: You know me. Hostility makes me shrink up like a... I can't think of a non-sexual metaphor.

[After giving a patient a rectal exam]
Cameron: Do you have any idea what its like having a 6 foot tube shoved up your rectum?
House: No... but I now have a much greater respect for whichever basketball player you dated in college.

Chase: The girl hasn't even kissed a boy, its a fair bet she hasn't had sex
House: Tell that to all the hookers who won't kiss me on the mouth

and many, many more

:yumdumdoodledum: i love that show especially te one where houce is in the coma

House is definitely the best show on TV. Though when that whole thing w/ officer Tritter was going on, I really hoped that he would get some kind of infectious disease and that House would be forced to cure him, but would be sarcastic toward him the whole time. Or maybe the idiot would just die. Who really cares? That officer was evil. I don't care what House did to him, that didn't give him the right to abuse his authority like that. Does that make me a bad person?

Nope, I think we all hated Tritter.

I can't imagine him conforming to what he is 'supposed to be'.

What he did to House was within his authority, but he stepped over the line when he attacked the other doctors. However, he did seem to understand House better than most.
