| 509090 | 2006-12-24 04:03:00 | Nah..wait a minute...it isn't Rowan Atkinson I am thinking of...it's Hugh Laurie, and he was on a BBC series that we are currently getting here in the US because of his "House" fame. Who said anything about Rowan Atkinson? |

| 509091 | 2006-12-24 04:08:00 | What I don't get is that in every US doctor series on TV there are always 3, 4 or 5 doctors attending every patient. Imagine what our hospital system would cost if we had the same. Geeeeez It can indeed be tricky for some to discern reality,there is a name for that. |

| 509092 | 2006-12-24 08:16:00 | He's brash and seems insensitive...but he's a good doctor.... Here's a clip (BTW: he's an old British TV actor..really!) www.youtube.com He is also of Fry and Laurie fame of some years back. |

| 509093 | 2006-12-24 09:02:00 | House is good. It always amazes me how many times they misdiagnose the patient before finally getting whatever obscure aliment correctly identified. | Jen (38) | ||
| 509094 | 2006-12-24 09:30:00 | They seem to be doing that more with the new episodes too. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 509095 | 2006-12-24 09:39:00 | Personally I think it has peaked, Now it will just repeat itself and they will write in more personal drama to pad it out. So I dont bother watching it anymore, Though enjoyed the 6 or so episodes I did watch. | Metla (12) | ||
| 509096 | 2006-12-24 14:45:00 | Quick summary for Surfer Joe. . Hugh Laurie has been on our TV screens since the mid-80's in a variety of things - mainly comedy (Eg Blackadder way back..) And he's also been in several movies. That's because he's a British actor & we get British programmes. "Suddenly" America has discovered him because of House. But here, we always knew him. |

| 509097 | 2006-12-24 17:34:00 | Probably the same as "throw another shrimp on the bar-b" guy . . . what's his name . . . of "Dundee" fame, although I saw him in a series as a lifeguard/lifesaver where he imbibed great quantities of beer in 55 gallon cans . . . . "Fosters", I think . Americans are suckers for an accent . . . even in a language they never heard or really doesn't exist . However, we don't like our beer in industrial-strength containers . That's why I sometimes listen to NZ-R (mms://202 . 7 . 7 . 90/rnz-natrad)<not a link> . . . just for the acccent as I usually can't understand a word they are saying . Witness "Latka Gravis" from "Taxi" fame with Judd Hersch . Latka spoke a language that no-one had ever heard before, but it was cute in the ears of most Americans . I noted that Laurie was in "Flight Of The Phoenix" (Deux) too . . . . . didn't recognize him until I made this research . . . hah! |

BTW: did youse guys get to see the chapter where House gets shot? . . . and gets on the wrong side of a nasty cop? . . . if you're just getting the re-runs of the 1st season, you might not have seen them yet . . . . But I think you are right about the adding stories-plots outside of the medical parts now . They are hitting the bottom of the bucket for plots and have to add some new blood . |
