House

Gawd, the dialogue on this show is just so juicy and fun. I swear I laugh more in an hour of House than I do for most shows that purport to be comedies.

So House is somebody's son, and Cameron's curiousity gets her to put some wheels in motion just so she could observe House under parental presence. Good thing she backed off accordingly. Watching House do his best to get out of dinner with his parents was played for good laughs.

Loved Wilson's response to House's experiment with friends loaning friends money.

"A drunk man broke into their house."

Loved House applying the "always lying to one another" schtick once the pattern emerged (but it was also in direct contrast with House's father's honest discourse, and House's uneasiness about such displays of parental support in his own upbringing).

The actual case's resolution was scary as hell. Yowzers.

This show just keeps getting better and better.

The father still couldn't help lying to his son, great ending.

Very powerful episode tonight, with a sad conclusion. Jennifer Morrison is hot too.

Definitely a sad ending to the show. House and Wilson were fun to watch, particularly the loans. Wilson's marital troubles have been alluded to a few times. I wonder when/if that will be explored further.

Good episode

Wilson's experiment joke was great and House trying to get out of dinner was good as well.

After seeing how he treats marine recruits, I can't blame House for not liking his dad.

I just watched this episode. I had to laugh when the dad asked House what was happening to his son and house said a drunk driver came in and did it.

Vicellous Shannon was a better actor here than his craptacular performance on 24 as Palmer's son. He must have taken some acting classes since then.

I knew when his parents were showing up that at least one of them would be someone very familiar. Great choice

At first I thought they were falling back into their old pattern of, "We cured him! Oh no, he's dying now!", but they saved it with a strong ending. I doubt anyone saw the radioactive plumb bob coming!

Oh, and the crotch-rocket parked in the handicap space was classic!

House is I think the best of the drama's currently on TV.

like I said to Roto I had
Lost, House, CSI and Without a Trace to watch from last week

House was the best
Then CSI
Without A Trace
Lost.

The writing is superb, I wonder if they got some of the writers from scrubs? As the style is similar if with the opposite slant, drama with comedy whereas scrubs is comedy with drama.
