Does anyone like House anymore?
This year House the hit television show seems a bit rhetorical. Doesn't it seem as if the writers give the same plot over and over again? First an innocent person gets a rare symptom that causes them to end up in the hospital, then the group diagnose a disease and treats for that disease and it ends up not being the right disease. The group gets into and argument and all of a sudden Dr. House gets a lightbulb and ends up curing the patient The End. The writers need to start writing something more interesting, if not, I am cutting this show out of my list. House better soon get into the sheets with Cuddy and make some babies of there own. Now that would be a show!
For anyone who is familiar with the show here is a little summary about the show HOUSE...
HOUSE, an innovative take on the medical drama, solves mysteries where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients.
Celebrating its 100th episode milestone on Feb. 2, 2009, HOUSE is the winner of three Emmy Awards, including an award for creator and executive producer David Shore (Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series). The series has been honored with 17 Emmy Award nominations, including three for Outstanding Drama Series and three for Hugh Laurie (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series). The series received the 2006 Humanitas Prize for the episode "Three Stories" and three Humanitas finalist honors, one each for the 2007 episode "House vs. God" and the 2005 episodes "Everybody Lies" and "Damned If You Do." Additionally, HOUSE received two Golden Globe Awards for Laurie (Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series) and two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Laurie (Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series) as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination (Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series) and two Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Television Series, Drama, and an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Drama Series.
The show has also been honored by the American Film Institute as one of the TV Programs of the Year, and it received a Peabody Award for Best of Electronic Media, as well as two consecutive People's Choice Awards for Favorite TV Drama, a People's Choice Award for Hugh Laurie (Favorite Male TV Star) and the Writers Guild Award for Episodic Drama ("Autopsy").
DR. GREGORY HOUSE (Hugh Laurie), devoid of bedside manner and dealing with his own constant physical pain, uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. His behavior often borders on antisocial, but House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he thrives on the challenge of solving medical puzzles in order to save lives.
House shepherds an elite team of young experts who help him unravel diagnostic mysteries: plastic surgeon DR. CHRIS TAUB (Peter Jacobson); enigmatic "contestant" number Thirteen, DR. REMY HADLEY (Olivia Wilde); and enthusiastic, radical-thinking DR. LAWRENCE KUTNER (Kal Penn). He has a good friend and confidant in oncology specialist DR. JAMES WILSON (Robert Sean Leonard), but House maintains a somewhat volatile relationship with DR. LISA CUDDY (Lisa Edelstein), the Dean of Medicine and hospital administrator. Though the two are engaged in constant conflict over House's duties and unconventional behavior, even she would admit that his brilliance is worth the trouble. Neurologist DR. ERIC FOREMAN (Omar Epps) serves as Cuddy's eyes and ears on House.Immunologist DR. ALLISON CAMERON (Jennifer Morrison) and intensivist DR. ROBERT CHASE (Jesse Spencer) are former members of House's team and no longer have to answer to him now that Cameron heads up Emergency Medicine and Chase works in Surgery at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
Currently in Season Five with more than 100 episodes produced, House and Wilson have repaired their friendship in the aftermath of Amber's death, Cuddy is fulfilling her dream of motherhood after adopting an infant girl, Foreman has started a relationship with Thirteen who continues to battle the deadly Huntington's disease that threatens to shorten her lifespan dramatically, while House and Cuddy continue to determine exactly what type of relationship they share -- if any.

Lost is on tonight!
I am so excited about the new season of Lost... it flashes back and forward so it does get confusing at time, but it is still a great show. Anyone who doesn't know about the show here is a little recap...
After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discovered that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, a strange French woman and another group of island residents known as "The Others." The survivors have also found signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th century sailing ship called The Black Rock, the remains of an ancient statue, as well as bunkers belonging to the Dharma Initiative -- a group of scientific researchers who inhabited the island in the recent past. As the second part of Season Three opens, Jack seems to have gained the upper hand, as Ben's life literally rests in his hands. His demands are simple -- release Kate and Sawyer as prisoners of "The Others," let them safely return to the island and he'll stay behind. But does Jack have a hidden agenda? Kate finally made her romantic decision between Jack and Sawyer by choosing the smitten con man -- but were her feelings for him genuine? Juliet -- one of "The Others" -- makes a shocking decision that could endanger her standing with her people. After the death of Eko, Locke's obsession to uncover the secrets of the island leads Sayid to believe that his intentions may not be in the best interests of his fellow survivors. Sun and Jin will continue to celebrate their pregnancy -- but is the child really Jin's? Just as Charlie returns into the good graces of Claire and her baby, Aaron, Desmond drops a bombshell on him that could change the course of his life forever. After the hatch imploded and the electromagnetic charge was expelled, questions arise as to what effects it had on the island -- as well as the outside world. Will Penny Widmore find the island and her long, lost love, Desmond, and can the survivors find a way to interact with the outside world? The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their 70-plus days on the island, danger and mystery loom behind every corner, and those they thought could be trusted may turn against them. Even heroes have secrets."Lost" stars Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Henry Ian Cusick as Desmond, Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet, Dominic Monaghan as Charlie and Terry O'Quinn as Locke.
Nip/Tuck is my all time favorite show!
For all of my Nip/Tuck fans out there... I think this season is different, but I still think that this show ROCKS! Here is a recap on last nights episode...
'Nip/Tuck' Pushes Boundary With Self-Pleasuring, Infant Lip-Plumping EpFebruary 11th, 2009 2:24pm EST
I hate to say it, but it's time I admit that "Nip/Tuck" is reaching over-the-top storylines. Self-fellatio? Plastic surgery on babies? Really, "Nip/Tuck" writers?
A patient visits the office of Christian (Julian McMahon) and Sean (Dylan Walsh) looking for a penis reduction because he can't stop performing self-fellatio. This boggles the minds of the doctors, but they agree to do the surgery.
I hate to say it, but it's time I admit that "Nip/Tuck" is reaching over-the-top storylines. Self-fellatio? Plastic surgery on babies? Really, "Nip/Tuck" writers?
A patient visits the office of Christian (Julian McMahon) and Sean (Dylan Walsh) looking for a penis reduction because he can't stop performing self-fellatio. This boggles the minds of the doctors, but they agree to do the surgery.
Since Liz has moved to Miami after her falling out with Christian, Sean takes to finding a qualified replacement. In typical McNamara Troy fashion, Sean hires a beautiful, motorcycle-loving female who has trouble written all over her.
Playing into Sean's "I'm past my prime" and "Christian is the fun doctor" insecurities, Liz's replacement manipulates Sean into taking a picture next to the patient's large penis as a joke. Of course, this later backfires on him when the patient finds out about the picture from Aidan Stone (Bradley Cooper), who is upset that Sean is rejecting the script he wrote based on Sean's near fatal relationship with Colleen Rose.
Aidan wants to pitch the script and create a comeback for himself after his stint in sex rehab following the incident with Eden (Annalynne McCord). Aidan talks the patient into threatening Sean with a lawsuit and is able to get Sean to agree to the script in order to avoid legal action.
The storyline continues to reach new heights when Kimber (Kelly Carlson) asks Christian to inject Jenna's lips with collagen so that she can be a prominent baby model. Christian is adamant about not performing plastic surgery on babies, let alone his granddaughter, but soon completes the task after he realizes Kimber began the injection while he was out of the room. He doesn't want the injection to be uneven, so he finishes the job and Kimber tells him not to worry, that she will take the blame.
Matt (John Hensley) is distraught when realizes his daughter's lips have been plumped, immediately assumes Christian did it, and goes to Christian's house and stabs him with a sterile needle to make his point. Christian claims he didn't do it and puts Kimber on speakerphone to "clear" his name. As agreed, Kimber takes responsibility and doesn't reveal Christian's involvement.
In the crowning moment of the episode, Aidan returns to the McNamara Troy office in a complete neck and head brace. He soon reveals that he broke his neck by falling off of his bed while trying to follow in the footsteps of the well-endowed patient and suck his own penis. Aidan wants to fix the scars the brace will leave on his forehead and asks for a penis enlargement.
Although "Nip/Tuck" is over-the-top, I'm too excited that Bradley Cooper guest starred on the show, and it looks like he will appear in at least another episode!Catch "Nip/Tuck" Tuesdays at 10 p.m. E/P on FX.
