I thought it was a great episode. I was a little disappointed they didnt give House cancer. Thought it could make for some interesting episodes. The things they come up with for him that they have him do are unbelieveable.
The Luke N. Laura name was hysterical.

One of the best shows on TV.

Predictable but appropriate, the entire episode showed how much everyone cared about House and it ended with him showing absolutely no remorse toward being himself. It was fitting.
Enjoyable ep.

Pretty good episode. Would have preferred a bigger role for Dave though.

Doesn't take much to make Dave Matthews look dopey, does it? Really enjoyed this one!!

Excellent casting in this ep. Always nice to see Kurtwood Smith working and Dave Matthews played his role very well.
Lots of hilarious lines in the ep as well, possibly my favorite of the season.

Enjoyable episode. Although IMO, it was pretty damn obvious from the beginning that House did NOT have cancer, you just didn't know why it appeared he did. I was expecting some better explanation than "I was just fooling them so they can inject drugs into my brain that are fun". Lots of great lines, but was a little let down by the revalation of what was really going on.

Great episode. When I saw Dave Matthews as the guest star, I assumed he would be suffering from a rare brain disorder which caused him to act out by performing long, trustafarian jams with lock-jawed lyrics.

It took me a few minutes to realize that the dad was played by Kurtwood "Dumbass" Smith. It always nice to see him playing roles other than the one he's most famous for.
Dave Matthews was great also. I liked how they kept the actors and their hands in frame when playing the piano to lend more believability to them being able to play the complex pieces.

Great episode. I'm pleasantly surprised they didn't try to milk this 'House has cancer' storyline over several episodes. When they first got into it I was thinking "Here's the cliche House in peril story arc for the second half of the season". Thumbs up to the show's makers for taking a different route.

I didnt even recognize Kurtwood Smith. In fact I had an argument with my husband when he told me it was "Red". You dont know how hard it is going to be to admit to him he was right! I'm usually the actor/actress savant around here. But I have to admit I heard his "Red" voice towards the end of the show.

What I learned from this episode: You can pretty much get away with murder if people think you are terminally ill.
I really wanted a Cuddy reaction shot in House presences when she found out that House was faking his terminal illness.

FYI, Gomez is on Dave Matthew's record label ATO Records.
