Best TV on.. uhm... TV: House, MD

Sorry I haven’t been posting lately. Stress has been smacking me around and being stressful, as it is want to do. So to combat this, I sometimes relax as every good American by sitting around and mindlessly watching tv. So I figured that I would waste some more time by sharing with all of you what I have been watching. Some of it will be obvious choices... and some of it will be shit you have never heard of. I hope you find something new in here to check out and enjoy for yourself. :)

My plan was to run through several tonight, but watching them is overriding writing about them, so for now, you get one.

Obvious first...

House, MD

Anyone that has known me for more than an hour probably knows that House’s sarcasm is what pulls me towards it. Throw in an obscure medical problem every week, interesting insights into the way people’s minds work, and a hot Physician and I watch every week without fail.

Where was I? Oh yes, House. If you haven’t seen House at all, and shame on you if not, then here is a clip from Season “I don’t recall” that pretty much sums up his personality.

Season 5 just started a couple of weeks ago, so if you haven’t been watching, you are only behind two episodes so far. I wasn’t super impressed with the direction they set off in during episode 1 this year, but I am not sure if that is due to the writing or my disinterest in prolonging that particular subject for multiple episodes.

Whatever the problem, I thought episode 2 was great. The private investigator they introduced fits in well with the other cast members, at least the little he interacted with them, but more importantly for me, he fits well with House himself. I can easily see the P.I. being the new Wilson if the writers decide to go that direction.

Hulu has episodes online that you can watch for free. There are limited commercial breaks, but each only contains one commercial, so it is easily worth the price of admission (again, free), even for those of us who hate online commercials. Hulu has each new episode of House 8 days after it airs. If that is too slow for you and you know anything about torrents, eztv.it will usually have the newest episode up within an hour of it being aired. Though if you need it that quickly, just watch it on Fox like non-geeks.

Oh, and lest I forget...

Not that my mostly female readership cares, but she’s another reason to watch. ;)
