Anyone watch this?
If you don't, do. It's well worth it. Tightly scripted and well cast with Hugh Laurie (a British comedian) in the title role.
Good stuff

I love this show. It is stellar. Did you see the one where that dude tries to sue him and he totally works the guy with the whole STD angle?

Great great show.

and Hugh is brilliant.

Yep.

Please note: This is not an admission of ever having wantonly (or otherwise) watched Neighbours. I was... erm... at a friends house.

Whatever happened to Toady? Is he still around? And Harold and his tuba?

I can't look at Hugh Lawrie without thinking of George Prince of Wales.

HOORAH!...SAUSAGE TIME!!

This is a great show, mostly due to the strength of the lead character. He's badass in a modern, cranky, hospital-drama way.

Recently became addicted to this show, and I rarely watch T.V.

That is all.

ROCK!

Love the show. I had no idea Hugh Laurie was British until he hosted SNL. I thought he was joking at first. He looks like John Holmes.

House appeals to me because it has a theme song by Massive Attack but I'm in constant fear of there being another episode with a scrotum burst.

Oh damn, I know!

They love to shock their viewers, don't they?

I don't watch this, but I've seen the ads, and I was highly amused to see the completely different character(s) that Hugh Laurie played on Blackadder.

I'm obsessed with this. I bought the first and second seasons. I have no money now. People knock tv a lot in my circle of people (i.e. assholes) but what I love about House is how god damn hopeless it is. There is character development, but you know he's just never going to be happy. You don't get that kind of doom in the movies very often.
