Nah, I usually walk around barking orders and giving witty retorts. It works really well.

Yes, I'm a House fan, too.

Monkeys, you left out the best part about the new LDS character:

(drumroll)

HE'S BLACK.

This is one of the very few shows on t.v. I watch!

Anyone else watch?


No but I hear it is very good. My daughter watched it and said I would like it. I am a big fan of 24, Lost and Prison Break.

Oh Jason I think you would like it. It's such a smart show.

I like Lost too! I can't believe I forgot about Lost. Gezz, seems like it's been forever since I've seen an episode.

It's recording on TiVo right now! Yay!

The lead actor, (is it Hugh Laurie?) is so handsome. His piercing blue eyes are swoon-worthy!

Here's a look at a younger Hugh with James Randi.

I have watched the show a couple of times, my wife and two boys love it. Me, well it's OK but I just wonder how long you can find or make up so many rare disease diagnosis' and then continue to mis-diagnose and mis-diagnose show after show and keep it interesting?

I guess there is a real love for sarcasm and the Hugh character is good at it.
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

I love Hugh Laurie, too, but in the old Blackadder series. I can't warm up to House, but I guess I haven't much tried, either...

Pokatator, the medical mysteries are actually the least interesting aspect of the plot line to me. I like watching the dynamics between the characters.

I watch the time and know if they've solved the mystery that it will be a wrong diagnosis if there's more than 15 minutes left. It's rather predictable. I just really, really enjoy the smart assery of Hugh.

I agree that that is the attraction. I am also a smart ass so maybe I should watch and pick up pointers or maybe I don't watch because I think I am a smarter ass than the Dr. On second thought I am sure he is better at it than I am, I have only me, I wonder how many writers he has? I guess I better start watching it.
