Movies and TV Tonight's "House" - Page 4

Anyone watch?

It was probably the best hour of television ever written or damn near close. And shot as good too.

The song that played at the end was Passing Afternoon by Iron and Wine. Really good song that added to the ending for me.

About the time it starts getting stale (House is an azz, always finds the solution, team all hates him for his sarcasm and cynicism, etc) they mix it up very well.

Wilson has a real reason to hate House, the team doesn't find a cure and win the day, House loses on nearly all fronts...

Issue #1: House gets hammered.
Issue #2: House calls Amber instead of just catching a cab.

She also wouldn't have been on the bus if Fred Durst hadn't been a responsible barkeep.

They have a knack for killer season finales. House got shot. This one. Etc.

And, for those who don't watch or don't watch regularly, you don't watch House for the medicine (find solution, etc). You watch it for the characters. Best on television.

Call me a party pooper but before everybody has a total orgasm about this show, let me bring up a couple of weak points.

1- You don't have a heart attack in the morning and run around all day like normal. Believe me, I know.

2- I bet there is not ONE doctor in the country who sends his subordinates to ransack a patient's home without getting into legal trouble the very first time for breaking and entering. House does this routinely.

Lighten up a bit. It's a TV show.
Much like the 5 people on CSI do the job that 50 people would take weeks to do in a coupe of days.
Much like the trials all take place within a week on Legal shows.
Much like all medical shows have doctors who do about 5 doctors' jobs.

I just finished the episode, and ****ing WOW.
I'll admit, musical montages get me, and as the music started playing, it got a little dusty in here. but when Wilson found the letter reading, "Sorry I'm not here, I went to get House," I thought a cladiosporum had burst in front of my face.
Like I said, I've only been watching this show since February, but I am effing hooked. Great show. It comes so close to being the same thing week after week, but changes up just enough to not get stale.
I'm sad Amber died, as I think she was a very cool character (and like I said, not so hard on the eyes), but the way they did it was brilliant.

KevB · 05-20-2008, 09:02 PM

The complaints here and elsewhere about the "sameness" week to week aren't fair IMO. The story each week is really just the backdrop to the characters, the interpersonal relationships, and the humor. Yes, it seems very formulaic: rare illness, House berates his team, then magically comes up with the answer at the last minute. It's the other "stuff" that makes this show so enjoyable to watch.

And the fact that they made me care so much that Amber was dying is a testament to the writing and acting. Four shows ago I didn't care all that much if she was on the show or not.

She should be back in pioneer garb on HBO this fall.

So, you have a problem. The series is not to be watched for the medicine (or, in this case, legal) aspect. It's for the characters.
