Does anyone like the TV show 'House'?

Does anyone here like the show 'House'? I love the show, since it contains lots of factual information about the medical world to improve my medical knowledge (which isn't that big at all). It's also unpredictable and doesn't contain as much social stuff, at least that's what I think.

I love House... apart from some of the gory stuff which I suppose you'd have to expect from a medical drama... it's the only one of that type of show that I watch.

Hugh Laurie is just perfect for the part of Dr. House - in pain, but still able to cater to his patient's needs jovially... sometimes jokingly.

Yeah. Love that show!

I like the show, but I just can't buy Hugh Laurie as a gruff American. He's supposed to be a posh English toff...he's Jeeves!

I think House is awesome! One of my favorite shows, I definitley watch this one religiously.

I always watch it (I have a DVR and so can always watch those few shows I really like). They are usually shows with socially dysfunctional protagonists like House, Monk, Judging Amy, etc.

So do people in America find his accent in that show convincing? 'Cause when I first saw the show I was very suprised to hear Hugh talking like that!

Wait, the guy's not American? I would've never guessed, I'm so used to foreign accents because of where I work.

I like the show.

I can't believe that people wouldn't have heard of Blackadder or Jeeves .

I've heard of Blackadder, but not Jeeves.

agh I'm such a fool...of course he didn't play Jeeves, he played Wooster.

Wait, Hugh Laurie was on Blackadder?!

I love this show - I think House has some very aspie sort of tendiencies (though probably caused by his rather tragic life - not neurology - though if you watch 'Three Stories' there is the possiblity of minor brain damage) . . . I love his logic and streight-forwardness . . .

I had the same reaction when I found out Hugh Laurie was Brittish - in fact, I set my TiVo to try to find an interview with him and I was just floored by how he really talks - unlike someone like Sam Neil you really can't hear his accent at all (well, Sam Neil is Australlian, but you get the idea) - I've never heard an hint that he doesn't speak with an American accent all the time when I've seen 'House'

I had to run out and buy the box set tonight since I'm sick and I figured a candy bar and a couple of hours of 'House' would make me feel better . . .

Sam Neill is actually a New Zealander. He spends alot of his time either in New Zealand or Australia.

Out of curiostity, how did his leg get screwed up, and what is wrong with it? I haven't watched enough to know.
