House

FOX Tuesdays

This is the fourth season of House and it is one of my more favourite shows. I will confess that I am not a fan of any of the CSI's, which manage to solve a case tidily in one hour episodes. Then why would I like House which solves the most outrageous medical cases in the span of one hour as well?

I think it would have to do something with the excellent acting of Hugh Laurie (sorry David Caruso). He is simply amazing as an actor that conveys so much complexity beneath his character's supposed gruffness.

What further elevates this show is the strong cast. Dr. James Wilson played by Robert Sean Leonard, he of Dead Poets Society fame, along with his crack team has a wonderful witty report and great chemistry.

Minor Spoiler Alert:

Season 3 ends with House's team all quitting on him. It was a decent season except for maybe the storyline about his drug addiction, a storyline that I always find weak in shows, because it allows the writers to justify any of their character's wild actions.

Season 4 finds House alone without his team. I loved this episode because of the "terrorist" battle between House and Wilson, after Wilson kidnaps his guitar. I am also excited at the shake up of this show and the anticipation of seeing how House picks his new staff.

Pop Junk Summary: House is like Everlasting Gobstoppers. Sour on the outside, sweet on the inside and full of long lasting flavour.


I will have to report later about Reaper. And also about episode 2 of Gossip Girl.

Wednesday:

Dirty Sexy Money
Bionic Woman
Private Practice (there is a joke in that title somewhere but I won't stoop that low)

Thursday:

This is the power day of television.

The Office, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy (this show is on a short leash), and Ugly Betty. Oh yeah and the last season of Scrubs.

Monday revisited...

I thought more about The Big Bang Theory. It is a very interesting theory. To think that the beginning of the universe started with all this condensing matter and then in one instant a big explosion created the universe and explains why the universe is still expanding.

Or something like that.

Which leads to my startling Stephen-Hawking-revelation about the TV show, The Big Bang Theory. I don't think I will watch it again. What led to my revelation? It just wasn't funny enough.

OK. That's all I wanted to say.
