the one thing that ruined House for me was when someone made me aware that he's the medical Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Wilson is a flimsy Watson.

hosed the whole thing up once I saw that.

House peaked at the season finale where he checked into the asylum, after that it seems like it changed him for the better but the writers backtracked a couple episodes into the next season and from there it goes directly downhill. Which is a shame, because I love that show.

I will make sure to check this out if I ever get wrangled into signing up for Hulu (does it cost money? I can't tell)

Hulu has an ad filled subscription for 10 a month. You can get no ads for 13-14? A month

Not house just pulled his phone down from his face, and locked the screen. Smh.

Oh Brooklyn 99 a character pulled their phone down from a call and it actually displayed the phone call screen, until it rotated to landscape. Because it was a picture of the phone call screen. An crazy way to fail

But you did figure out the formula that every single episode runs on, right?

Sick - Diagnosis #1 - Getting better - Nope, now sicker! - Diagnosis #2 - Still sicker - "Sorry, you're going to die!" - Chats with Wilson (45 minute mark) - House pauses mid-sentence - Cure!

For the longest time I did not understand mousebites.gif, but then I watched the show. To be honest I don't think the formulaic nature really hurt it all that much, the show doesn't pretend to be about the patients for even a minuscule amount of time unless their story somehow relates to the main characters'.

Ok, that's pretty spot on. All that's missing is House sexually harassing Cuddy to be perfect.

See what's gonna happen is they're gonna reach medical perfection, and the doctors won't practice medicine anymore they'll just do it. House will go around resurrecting people from graveyards and having sex with them while munching bottles of archaic surplus pills, and the last episode will be him standing on a dark butte in a storm while eating a zombie baby, blood dripping down his chin proclaiming "I DONT CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING, NEVER HAVE, I JUST LIKE EATING ABORTIONS AND MUNCHING PILLS!"

The reviews are pretty awful but it looks like there's a definite second season. Hopefully it will be like The X-Files and settle into itself despite a rocky start.

It's sad to hear that detectiving crime finally drove Cool Lester Smooth over the edge.
