This one is a bit of a shocker for fans of UK comedy...

""HOUSE": The doctor is in, he's just not warm or fuzzy, more akin in temperament to private eye Philip Marlowe than a physician in this layered and sometimes witty Fox endeavor. Hugh Laurie stars as a brilliant but cranky practitioner who never talks directly to patients (he says they always lie) and then in absentia, helped by a team of experts, he solves their often mysterious maladies. A misanthropic medic with a heart of gold."

3. Seems American TV execs have had an epiphany...

Every time they attempt to remake a British comedy it falls flat on its face.

Maybe if they get someone who knows how to do it they'll have a hit. That is if the suits can keep their sticky, humorless, non-creative, artistically bankrupt, pudgy little fingers out of the creative process.

God I hate TV execs. Put 'em all in a blender and hit "Puree."

4. Other than "House" and "Lost"

I can't say this upcoming season looks much different than last one, which, imo, was one of the worst seasons I've seen in my 36 years of being alive.
