Any House fans here? I was blind-sided at what happened to Dr Kutner's character last night. Good episode, I was just suprised. I hear actor is actually taking a job for the Obama Administration.

Gee, I thought you wanted information about fans for your house! If this "new" board is going to work you simply [b]must[/b] make your subject more specific! :roll:

I didn't see it, but caught the last 3 minutes of it before watching 24 and could tell what had happened to him from that. That's awful! I like House, big time, but I wonder if they're resorting to that to keep up ratings. Anyone know what House ratings are?

Of course, I think of him as Ahmed ("my name isn't Ahmed, it's Achmed!") from 24.

I have a real problem with HOuse and all it's "evolution" theory and atheism....doesn't that bother anyone else? I have watched a few episodes and I find him totally devoid of any redeeming virtue.

Sorry if I come across as "sefl-righteous" or maybe it's because I get very little tv time and I am pretty discriminating about what I spend that time on.

He sends out a message that is totally opposed to everything I believe.

Dr. House is a substance-addicted, bah-humbug atheist with a huge ego. That's the complex character being played. It is not the point of view of the show. He is surrounded by people who counter-balance his world view. I enjoy the show, and recognize people I have dealt with in his character.

and that is one thing I really like about the show.

The fact that he IS such a blow-hard is why I like the show. He's pithy, he's sarcastic and self-righteous. And, for one, I find his character really interesting. There's a lot more they could do with him. The thing I like least about the show is his obsession with sicknesses caused by environmental exposure to x, y or z, and the fact that no insurance is going to pay for a team of doctors to sit around and engage in the kind of debate about diagnosis that these people do.

I love this show. It is like most other shows,only make-believe.

I understand what you are all saying about his character.....but....we do have to remind ourselves that while we the "intelligencia" of our worlds do get it (and I did) what bothers me is that a show can be popular among those whom I am sure.....do Not get it......

He is an icon to the impressionable.....and I must have not seen the good episodes. I saw No one counterbalancing him.....I saw him come off as winning every arguement, making a fool of the "shrink", making his patients look like idiots, and basically berating his collegues.

His appearance would gag a maggot, and would be totally unacceptable for me as a patient.

Sorry guys, I am usually not this stodgy....just happen not to have the time for this one.....but then I have never seen an episode of 24....so what do I know?

Since I am not a liberal Democrat, I generally do not assume that I am of superior intellect and "get it" while others are lesser mortals easily deceived. I think most people get it.

I like the music he plays on there, too. Hugh Laurie is an accomplished pianist and composer.

House is one of the shows that my wife and I DVR.

Last nites show was probably one of the most intriguing shows.

To have pulled it off without hardly anyone knowing or leaking it was great.

But the actor did take a job for Obama as his Hollywood liaison.

And the way they handled suicide with the guilt and blame was extremely close to real life as you can get.
