Well, it’s back on starting tonight. I’m not a fan of medical/hospital related shows, and I pretty much watch this show only for Hugh Laurie, but I really do enjoy the heck out of this show. Last season I thought was alright, but I’m interested in seeing where they go with House/Wilson early in the season.
Well I’ll be DVRing this tonight since it comes on at 8 pm now… and I"ll try to watch it later after my son goes to sleep.
House is one of my favorite shows on TV and the House/Wilson dynamic is front and center in this first episode of the new season… so it should be great.
Last season started awesome and then was more of the same.
But it was good. I’ll be sure to watch it.
I’m praying Comcast has cable back up tonight so I can see House. Been watching the repeats since they started a while back on USA, and it’s caused saliva to form for the new season.

Agreed, but the season ending was really really good.

Last season was also during the height of the writers strike, but the last two episodes were absolutely fantastic. You’d think all of the trippy story telling devices that House uses wouldn’t fit a medical show, but they work all the time and are often my favorite episodes.
Oh Fall TV, how I love you. While leaves may begin turning and falling and the temperature begins dropping, TV is blossoming into beautiful new life.
House handing the feminist chick a box of tissues after he diagnosed her was priceless.
my only real suprise about this episode was the ball-breaking boss didn’t show up…which would have been fun.
This show would have been cancelled in about 2 episodes if not for Hugh Laurie.
Dammit…the DVR missed the last few minutes of the show. It cut out right when House started to actually apologize. What happened afterwards?

I think it’s a great character-driven show. The medical stuff isn’t any more important than the sci-fi trappings of Lost.
Much obliged, Jacob. It wasn’t a great episode, but the House/Wilson story was involving

Agreed. Not enough Hugh Laurie to keep it on edge. Beautiful but Dying Bisexual Chick is not a big draw for me.
I thought it was an alright episode. Next week’s ep is pretty great though. It has one of the best cold opens in the show’s history and you’re all going to want Michael Weston’s character to a permanent cast member after you see him in action.
not the most exciting episode but the last 5 minutes were great.
My DVR cut off with 2 minutes left.
Luckily I was recording Fringe too… so I just started watching Fringe, and was pleased to see the rest of House being shown.
I loved House’s statement about “almost dying vs dying”. Cant remember the exact quote though…

Donovan is in this next week? YES!
And while the episode was ok, the Wilson/House stuff really pulled it forward. I liked it.
yeah, my TiVo missed the last two minutes as well. I wonder if they’re trying to trick me into recording Fringe as well?
Anyway, not the best episode. Mostly because House was just genuinely pissy and not humorously pissy throughout most of the episode. If next weeks episode really has Donovan in it, that’s awesome.
I watched it and had mixwd feelings. Yes, House is living down to expectations and the House and Wilson relationship is being explored but I found the team and even the patient of the week to be more interesting.
