House 1/19 New night and time!

No way PPTH doesn’t have a day-care center. And does USA still play the show at 11 p.m. Friday? or is the previous week’s?

More Wilson!

I found this a bit annoying too. I tried to tell myself it was Cuddy being a first-time mom and a perfectionist, thinking she had to do everything perfectly all by herself. But even I’m not really buying that. She didn’t get where she is by being so unrealistic. The writers just temporarily changed her personality to “ditz” so that Wilson could come in and give her a lecture about the double standard.

I still love Wilson and Cuddy, though.

But right before the inspector came wasn’t she talking on the phone with someone? I got the distinct impression it was either a nanny or a maid and Cuddy was asking where the heck she was (“You said you’d be a LITTLE late!”)

It seemed to me she was trying to get help but, as will happen, it fell through.

Of course after it was all over she was still beating herself up.

You’re right, I forgot about that.

Nah - I remembered it. But I thought it was insufficient to explain her situation.

She knew this big visit was coming up, but she didn’t take steps to present herself in the best position? And she allowed her house to get trashed overnight, in the expectation that some maid/nanny would come in in the morning and make everything right?

A parent has tremendous ability to prevent their house from getting trashed, and can to do a ton to tidy up when the kid is napping or whatever. For crying out loud, how hard is it to toss a soiled disposable diaper in a trashcan?

And was it the day before that she had the baby carriage in her office? Is that her childcare plan, or yet another instance where her hired help proved unreliable?

Not the actions expected of the administrator of an institution as large as a teaching hospital.

She came back from her place to the office at night because House called her there, logically she arranged some sort of child care.

I wish they could have found a rubber baby doll that didn’t look so obviously rubbery.

Or maybe even a real kid!

That was my first thought too. My husband is disabled and in chronic pain, and a clamp-on grab bar from Home Depot is cheap and easy to install - in fact that’s the first thing we did when we moved into our current home. Why House would use the flimsy decorative shower pipe for support getting in the tub when he could buy a sturdy, safe grab bar is beyond me…:smack: Oh wait, it’s a TV show! Never mind! I forgot things work differently in TV land.

ok - so it wasn’t just me then…

I don’t like phony blonde Cameron, I prefer natural brunette Cameron.

In case you’re not aware, you’ve got those reversed.

According to the wiki, she dyed her hair blond. It is really obvious that it is not natural. Maybe the picture in the wiki is a more natural version of her hair color, and that could be called blonde. What she has now, is not natural. It doesn’t look right.

As I posted on Television Without Pity, even as small as House’s bathroom is, it seems strange that he hasn’t laid it out with a fancy Jacuzzi with heat and jets. It would be therapeutic for him and hedonistic too, and he could install grab bars without it having a “handicapped” look. I would love to see House doing battle with contractors.

33 posts in and no discussion of the PotW (not counting the OP’s blurb).

Interesting.

See here for why her hair is that color. (And to read her quote saying she’s a natural blonde).

Can someone tell me why House referred to 13 as “14”? I don’t get that one.

I think he meant 13 + Foreman = 14. He was referring to them as a couple.

The problem with Cameron’s hair is that Jennifer Morrison may be a natural blonde, but it sure as hell ain’t the blonde that she’s wearing now. It looks awful on her. It might just be the tinting used for filming House, because she looks fine here.

I still say she looks better as a brunette, naturally blonde or no. Kind of like how I look better as a redhead (with my super pale skin and greeny eyes) than my darkish dishwatery brown hair.

::Feeling stupid::

That sure isn’t the blonde she is wearing now, and if you told me her hair in that picture wasn’t highlighted, I wouldn’t believe you. I think she may be a very dark natural blonde. It’s questionable what her hair would look like with no treatment or sun at all.

Actually, I think he called Foreman “Fourteen,” playing off the obvious relationship of Thirteen and Foreman, or, “Thirteen + 1.” Or “Fore-teen.” Or whatever, take your pick.
