House MD

Saw this story about my new favorite television program this afternoon.  Fox Broadcasting Company's House is a program shown at 8pm on Tuesday evenings CST.  I have been trying to encourage my friends to watch this show so that it doesn't get cancelled.  My wife is convinced that it is headed for the dustbin of television's great abandoned shows because it is too intelligent and because the main character, played by Hugh Laurie, can be such a jackass. 

In the linked article, the author from the National Review notes that House is one of a growing number of television programs that have treated religion in a mature and respectful manner rather than belittling the role of religion in people's lives.  It is not a religious show by any means and the National Review article only discussed a single episode.  However, House's handling of the subject in an intelligent manner reflects its intelligent treatment of many issues.

Highly recommended!!!!  Now I better get home before it starts. 

(Just don't ask me to vouch for the accuracy of the medical discussions.  They may be hogwash for all I know)

Look, I just read this little paragraph that you have about House, and how you think it will end up in the 'bin of abandoned shows'. Well I have something to tell ya, it's NOT! The show is so popular on Fox, that they are going to make a second season! WhooHoo! I see that you really like the show, and so do I. I also think that it is not religious, or too 'intellegent' for people to watch. I am 15 and I watch it with my 11 year old sister and my parents. It's an amazing show about a cranky, in pain, smart-ass, docter that saves millions of lives everyday.

Hi everyone!

Name's Dan, I'm 20, and from Sydney in Australia... I have been compelled to post here and mention how completely and utterly brilliant the television series, House MD, is...

I was highly anticipating the Australian premier of the series this past Sunday, but was thoroughly pleased to actually watch the episode, as it surpassed all expectation. House is uniquely written and orchestrated from a perspective like none other, and carried out brilliantly by the superb acting of some undeniably talented fresh new faces.

House MD is compelling viewing, with fresh characters that you can bond with and also passionately dislike at the same time, with personalities that adhere to your emotional heart-strings like super glue.

Hugh Laurie endears to all, embodying a character that has so much more depth than any other on television, and I also need to give coodos to Australian actor Jesse Spencer, who fits into the cast like he was simply created for the niché. I think I'm in love with a television show?

Farewell,
from Dan L.
