You do realize it's all bullshit, I hope.

When I'm at home I regularly watch Jeopardy with my parents. That's it.

 

[cookiecutter]

We get a big crowd for Jeopardy. I pwned US "C"ities yesterday

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Is pretty much the funniest cartoon besides southpark right now.

Last night's House was the first full episode of House that I've seen. I've seen bits of it before. Hugh Laury rules.

 

[Ender Rises]

Indeed. You should watch it more. Most of the episodes make better sense when it comes to the medicine.

 

[CAIRATH]

If you watch an entire season in about one day (which I did at some point) you really come to realise how utterly formulaic the show is though. I mean you realise that either way, but when you watch lots of it back to back it is even more obvious.

Though shoddy writing aside it is still an entertaining show to watch. If nothing else atleast you get to see Hugh Laurie being awesome.

Also a lot of the cases are actually based on real medical cases. Though I'm sure they get lots of details wrong and obviously most of the cases are ridiculously rare so the day-by-day basis at which House meets these people is obviously not realistic.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I honestly can't stand any of those shows, but above all, CSI and it's spinoffs.

Of course the writing is formulaic, writing for any TV show is formulaic. CSI, NCIS, Law and Order, every one of them is formulaic. It's still a good show.

I like the tobacco episode on southpark when Kyle says "DOn't your guys see? this is all following a formula!"

 

[Ender Rises]

Yeah, that's a good one.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

But seriously, have you ever watched frisky dingo?

 

[Ender Rises]

I haven't.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Well you should. It's ingenous, and the plot quickly spirals out of control.

 

[Vitor]

House is perfect, csi las vegas is amazing and seinfeld is the best sitcom that i've watched in my life.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Seriously, shrink the sig.

I have other things to look at then your mammoth piece of crap signature.

It seems like the writers expend all their energy on House's lines and then just write everyone else as a stereotype playing in a formula. House is such a great character it makes up for it though.

What? There are plenty of great non-formulaic shows. And very few shows I've seen are as bad as House in that respect. Like I said it is still pretty entertaining to watch, but come on, the writing on that show is pretty bad apart from the amusing dialog.

My favourite thing is how in nearly every episode he gets the token black guy to break into someone's home, usually for really nonsensical reasons.

 

[cookiecutter]

The black guy is always bitching and giving disapproving looks but never does anything about it.

 

[The Ozzman]

The only shows worth anything on TV right now are Monk and Burn Notice. Speaking of which, Burn Notice needs to start its second season, like, now
