House in a nutshell
"Here's a case"
*glances at chart*
"Boring. He's obviously got X."
"But his Y is negative."
"Hmmm..."
*Patient gets worse every time they treat him for a random guess*
*Wilson says something about House's personal life*
*Close up of House's eyes widening slightly*
"It's Z!"
*treatment makes patient better*
*everybody learns a personal lesson and becomes a better person. Except House.*

Easy to think
but you're missing out the development of the relationships of everyone around House.

The medical plot is fairly formulaic, but others are not.

that sounds dull
I mostly watch comedy stuff these days and get my fix of other stuff through books.

apart from Lost. I fucking love Lost.

I wanted to hate Lost so much
but it just keeps getting better and better

it makes me happy that most people stopped watching after the second series
and that it has got progressively better ever since.

It can only end once
everything else is just progress.

The finale to season 5 was just incredible, I had goosebumps when "LOST" came up black on a white background, so simple yet so effective (especially considering what had just happened).

A bit similar to every Quincy episode
Boss: It was suicide/not a suspicious death.
Quincy: It was murder
Boss: No it wasnt
Sam: I'm going to have to work late again arent I you fat cunt?
Quincy: Yes
Sam: Well can I at least come to that bar with you and the detective once this is all over?
Quincy: No.
Boss: I'm taking you off the case.
Quincy: Oh look, I was right JUST LIKE EVERY FUCKING WEEK

Actually, that was nothing like House.
