House (the tv show)

[MartianDestiny]

Does Fox show their programs on-line?
I sometimes watch NBC shows on line but you have to wait a day.

Yes, you have to wait 8 days for House though (they upload the morning after the next new episode). Some of their other shows (like Dollhouse) are up the next day, go figure.

I do watch House re-runs sometimes, if there is nothing else on. I like it, but hate his character (maybe I'm supposed to?).

I was turned off pretty early - in one of the first episodes, he's trying to figure out what is wrong with the patient, and someone suggests he might have Hepatitis C in addition to something else. House says something to the effect that the Hep C part is easy to cure - never mind that. Well, my husband has it, and I wish all these real doctors knew what House knows, because DH has been in a clinical trial for about 10 years now, part of which involved months and months of really harsh treatment that had very little effect (other than severe depression and weight loss, among other things). I was offended. Very poor background research (which would have been pretty easy to do). Just T.V. though.

I can't watch House.... dirves me crazy!! The guy walks with his cane in the wrong hand!!! Any PT would be driven mad but such things.

Heh. The cane-in-the-wrong-hand thing was actually addressed in an episode by a PT when house hurt his shoulder. He refused to switch to the proper side.
