House

It's no secret that my TV heart belongs to Bones. But I must say...the House finale was gut wrenching.

House

Okay I haven't updated on my final decision on House so here it is...I'm sticking with it. I caught up fully last night online and I'm hooked now. I'll put aside my nitpicky thoughts for the moment and this summer I'll use my online resourcefulness to watch all the House available and catch up.

I can never watch it post-Bones though. And what is up with them taking 8 days to get episodes online? Grr. Bones usually does it within 12 hours!

House - Post Script

I can't watch House post Bones. It will have to be late week Hulu or nothing. I can't come off the adorableness of Booth/Brennan talking about 'our' anything and go into House, even when it does have genuinely funny scenes like House asking Cuddy to cut Wilson in half. C'est la vie!

House

At my friend's suggestion, I decided to give House a try. How could I say no when I lovingly (I swear) nudge her to try Bones?

I played it on Hulu at my computer, through the speakers, just as I do with Bones. Dear Husband's reaction was swift: turn it off! Instant dislike. He didn't like the dialogue, or anything else for that matter.

I decided to watch all the episodes listed before making my decision. I was ambivalent at first but while watching 'Frozen' with Mira Sorvino I began to see House's charm.

I love the science aspect, however...I find it hard to believe that a single hospital would get so many rare and interesting cases continually. I would find it more believable if we were watching a team of investigators travel around the country assisting other doctors with their special cases and that could be another reason I liked 'Frozen' more than others. Caveat: I have only watched the most recent 5 episodes of House so I have no idea if this was addressed early on. I'm giving my view as a newly interested audience member.

I really do like the show's feel though. I like that the main character is a total jerk who has a completely caring and even needy best friend. I love the wit and the unexpected and how the many varied characters play off each other.

I still haven't decided if I'll keep watching this show but for now it has one thing going for it: it immediately follows Bones! I'll try to have a better review at the end of the season when I've seen a few more episodes.
