This episode I didn't care for House's interaction with Foreman at all. He was taking it way over the top, which isn't bad if it were funny.
This show does an amazing job of casting. The kid and House exchanges were spot on. I especially liked the bluff resolution

Loved the interactions between both of them. House muttering one last, "jerk", at the end of the episode was great.

Hilarious episode

something that has made me giggle about this show in the past is the way they seem to capture the "tripping" experience whenever house goes a little too far. That time he dropped Acid was both hilarious and spot on, and the shrooms started out good, what with the camera ghosting and aura that everyone seemed to have. The voice alteration seemed a little off though and done as a "hollywood-y" idea of a shrooms trip. At least I never experienced auditory halucinations or variations, it's strictly visual in nature... Were I to ever do shrooms, that is... hypothetically

Shouldn't heavy metal screening be one of the basic tests they run on a patient like this?
Good episode regardless.

good episode - the kid was a bit over the top - The way he treated his mother (come on he is a chess nerd, not a street thug)
But his comments were funny.
I fail to see that Forman is that valuable - i.e. that his that good to get his own department?

'House' to follow Super Bowl
Fox schedules medical drama after game
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
House
'House' is nearly on par in the ratings most Tuesdays these days with 'American Idol.'
Paging Dr. House: Fox's No. 1 drama, "House M.D.," is on call Super Bowl Sunday.
Fox announced Thursday that the hit medical skein, which stars Hugh Laurie as a cranky doc, had scored the plum postgame timeslot Feb. 3.
Nets usually wait until much closer to the big game before announcing which skein will be chosen for the showcase -- which always promises big viewer numbers. But Fox was looking to make a big splash at its upfront presentation Thursday afternoon. Fox Entertainment prexy Peter Liguori made the announcement while opening his speech at New York's City Center.
Fox scheduling chief Preston Beckman said the decision to put "House" there was born out of trying to grab the most ad dollars possible with the slot.
"Of all the shows we have, this is the biggest scripted one," Beckman said. "And to maximize revenue, you want to put a big show behind the Super Bowl."
Nets have avoided launching new shows in the post-Super Bowl slot for the most part (although Fox did so with "Family Guy" in 2000). Instead, webheads have recently chosen series that were already performing well -- and looking to jump to the next level.
That's what happened with "Grey's Anatomy" in 2006, when ABC turned what was a hit show into a monster hit show. This year, CBS tried the same thing with "Criminal Minds."
"House" doesn't necessarily need the boost: It's already a smash, nearly on par in the ratings most Tuesdays these days with "American Idol."
When Fox last aired the Super Bowl, in 2005, the net showed "The Simpsons" after the game -- along with a special preview of "American Dad."
The scheduling plan is also good news for NBC Universal TV Studio, which produces the show. "House" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m.. It is exec produced by David Shore, Paul Attanasio, Katie Jacobs, Bryan Singer and Daniel Sackheim.

Did the kid remind anyone else of Ed Furlong a la T2? He had that same whiny sound that kind of made you root for the killer robots to wipe out the human race, as long as they started with him.

Agree!!!Also liked the ribbing between House & Foreman, but I too want a resolution to that storyline by the end of the season finale.
