Are You Ready for House, M.D.’s Season 8?

Caveat: Mild spoilers ahoy, me mateys.

We are about one month from the season eight premiere of House, M.D., starring Hugh Laurie as the genius diagnostician Dr. Gregory House. When last we saw Dr. House, he had crashed his car into the (unoccupied) dining room of his boss and ex-girlfriend Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein). Fleeing from the scene, House ended season seven on a beach somewhere in the South Pacific, strolling down a beach into the sunset.

As we enter season eight, much has changed in House’s world. Cuddy is gone. Full stop. Edelstein’s departure (she will be seen this season on The Good Wife in a guest-starring role) was a blow to House’s cast and creative team.

But what effect will her departure have on House? Will he feel responsible for her leaving? Or will he blow it off, holding his angst over it (which will be there) inside? Personally, I would like to see House’s struggle with Cuddy’s absence, trying to make it not matter, but failing in his effort.

The Iconic Moments of House, M.D.: Season 1, Part I

on June 23, 2011

Nearly every episode of House, M.D. has an “iconic” moment–that great moment you can’t get out of your mind, even six or seven years later. Sometimes they involve Cuddy, Wilson or one of the fellows; often they are caught when House is alone, and sometimes those momentous moments are in the company of  a patient. Continue Reading →

Time Ticking Down on Negotiations for House, M.D.

on May 5, 2011

Will House, M.D. be back for Season 8? That is still the question as Universal Media Studios (UMS) and FOX continue to negotiate, according to Deadline Hollywood. At this point, according to Deadline Hollywood the studio and the network are yet about 20 percent apart. With the May Upfronts next week in New York, both parties are close to playing brinkmanship; FOX will announce its fall schedule at the annual industry event. Continue Reading →

House, M.D.: Season 7 Drawing to a Close with Four New Episodes

on April 26, 2011

For weeks now, I’ve ruminated upon why some of my friends in the House, M.D. fandom have become frustrated with the series. Why am I’m still enjoying House’s (the ever-incredible Hugh Laurie) journey, while others have become disenchanted? And still others, who a year ago or more wondered why I was still so intrigued, have rediscovered House, finding it once again enjoyable?

Live Interview tomorrow with “A Book and a Chat”

on April 14, 2011

A Book and a Chat appearing tomorrow evening 6:30 p.m. on “Book and a Chat” from “Across the Pond”  on Blogtalk radio. Should be fun. I’m on for half an hour (and I think they take phone calls, but I’m not certain). I hope you all stop by :)

From “A Book and a Chat”:

To many people from England you mention the name “Hugh Laurie” and they think of the comedian, part of the double act with “Stephen Fry” as must for all the fabulous Black Adder TVseries. In the US however like many other comedians Hugh Laurie has made his name as an actor, being the face of “House MD“.

My guest on today’s show Barbara Barnett knows all about that character. Her book “Chasing Zebras” is a comprehensive and (hopefully) thought-provoking look at the hit TVshow House, M.D.

The title of her book comes from an old medial axiom taught to medical students. When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras—think common, not complex and rare. The television show’s central character is a zebra-chasing physician—he only treats extremely rare diseases.

Full Review of the Dig

on April 12, 2011

We are having site issues this morning and I know you are all anxious to talk about “The Dig.” I’ve posted the review below in full. Please pass the word to the various LJs and forums (and on twitter, facebook, etc.) Thanks :)

When archeologists work on a dig, they carefully peel back layers of civilizations searching to understand what lay beneath. Along the way, they encounter clues, surprises and the occasional precious gem. House, M.D.’s 150th episode, appropriately called “The Dig” follows several parallel story lines. While the team tries to uncover the background of this week’s patient through his morbidly cluttered home, House (Hugh Laurie in a great peformance) tries to uncover the “why” behind 13’s (Olivia Wilde) six months in prison after pleading down to “excessive prescribing.” And Foreman (Omar Epps) digs for the secret of Taub’s (Peter Jacobson) new lover, who turns out to be none other than…Rachel Taub (Jennifer Crystal Foley).Hugh Laurie and Olivia Wilde

The patient’s wife, it turns out has a genetic disorder, which caused multiple miscarriages. The emotional impact of the miscarriages led to sobsessive hoarding, and the hoarding exposed both her and her husband to an illness. Martha Masters’ (Amber Tamblyn) zeal in treating the couple’s home as an archeological dig where they can piece together the story that’s not being told leads her to the crucial puzzle piece.  Continue Reading →
