7/8c MONDAY NIGHTS

House MD

(to clarify for those of you lame enough not to know what this show is, it is two things:

1. the best show in the world.

and 2. the best show in the world.)

simple enough?

Summary: House is a t.v. show (mon. 8/7 c on FOX) about a irritable doctor with a bum leg which keeps him in pain and has also turned him into a vicadin addict. He has no real friends, except maybe Wilson who is a doctor specializing in cancer at the same hospital.

In the show, Gregory house (the rude doctor who stops at nothing to solve the puzzles of patients' mysterious illnesses) is played by british actor Hugh Laurie. (who does an incredible american accent) House's team who often takes care of the deets House hates (like talking to patients) is made up of Dr. Cameron, a beautiful, kind, and good doctor who has a soft spot for terminal patients, (because of her past) played by Jennifer Morrison, Dr. Chase, also a good doctor, with a pathetic side and nice hair played by Jesse Spencer, and Dr. Foreman, the most opinionated of the bunch played by Omar Epps. (the show recently added some new doctors to the group after the previous team was disbanded (chase was fired, and cameron who was dating chase at the time quit. Both peeps are now working in different parts of the hospital) The new team includes: Dr. Foreman, Dr. Remey or "thirteen" who is played by Olivia Wilde, Dr. Taub, played by Peter Jacobson, and Dr. Lawrence played by Kal Penn. Together House and his team take on particularily confusing cases that House prefers to solve with multiple risky medicines, precedures and tests. The show has developed from season to season with forming relationships to dying friendships but it never crosses the line from American Medical Drama, to cheap soap.
