Ah, Dr. House. Tonight’s storyline involves someone named Henry (I’m blanking out; they usually call everyone on the show by their last names, so I’m not sure who this is) is having seizures but is unaware of them.
That’s all I know for now. Tune in, then post here later!
Yay new House! How I missed his acerbic wit!
Geeze - I’ve been watching the episode for 15 minutes and it just hit me now that Howard Hesseman is the patient. IMDB says he was born in 1940 but still . . .
I missed part of the sex with cows bit. What on earth was that about?
Loved the “not the right shoes” bit!
I expect the cow boy isn’t gone yet. And dude, House just took a gut shot.
(Spoilers… of course)
Ah, the ole’ hot mom makes you have sex with cows bit.
And the teacher was doing the students! Well I should have expected it… I missed it!
Ah… that was a beautiful confession by the ex husband. So he gets to wrap up the mystery and not House ;).
Was it a gut shot or the nads?
I thought it was a babymaker shot. I mean, he fell. Yeah the leg, but I still don’t think a knee to the gut would make him fall down flat on his face.
Argh another 3 weeks? Serously upsetting me.
Heh. I figured that out within the first couple minutes. I thought it was a pretty good ID given I was a baby when WKRP was on. I liked the guest stars in this one: him, Greg Grunberg (from “Felicity”), Keri Lynn Pratt, and I think that Shawn Hatosy was the cashier ringing up the candy.
You know, I think this week’s episode was semi-based on a real medical case, in so far as transplanting an organ into someone knowing it would give them a disease. Last year there was some sort of special about a dominio transplant. The woman involved needed a new heart/lungs because of some sort of heavy metal disease, and somehow they were able to use her heart in someone else because the although the diease would still be present in the heart, it would take decades before it would do enough damage to the recipient’s lungs to really hurt him.
Just watched it off the DVR and DAMN!, great episode. Didn’t see the shot in the jewels coming or the hubby fessing up at the end. Plenty of good surprises.
The quote about Wilson picking the wrong friends was golden too.
Did anyone else start laughing when the husband found out about his wife’s death? I feel kind of bad for thinking it was funny.
In my head I imagined House making a snide derrogatory remark to the organ harvester lady. Something a little harsher than the “You shouldn’t assume.” he gave. You know if it’d been Foreman or chase making that goof he’d have given us something priceless.
I didn’t notice his name in the titles and I got through the whole episode without recognizing him. (I don’t think I can blame the beer.)
Whoa. Howie!
What a way to wake up from surprise heart surgery, though. Happy happy! Joy! Joy! My beloved! My darling daughter! “Guess what! They gave you the clap – isn’t that a scream? Double-bag it, dad.”
Yeah it was a jewels shot. I turned away and turn back to see him doubling over so I thought the guy had punched him in the guy. Ah well.
Pretty good episode. They’re killing the series with these long breaks between episodes.I realize it’s a victim of scheduling but it’s still going to lose viewers. If Fox cancels this I will forever boycott Fox for their stupidity and inability to keep good shows running.
I enjoyed the episode. I sure didn’t recognize my WKRP dude - thanks for pointing it out.
What’s the deal with all the STD threads on the show, though?
Does anyone else get the feeling lately that they’ve been playing up infidelity and the sickness caused by it? I’ve seen noticed many “sex=bad stuff” bits in the show recently.
Well, that’s why they call those parts “the naughty bits.” 
Best lines: “Mmmmmmooooo!” and “Mwwaaahahahaha!”
Aside from the medical stuff, did you folks notice Wilson’s voice cracking just a bit when he was telling House that he needed to have a real conversation about the breakdown of his marriage? Nice touch there.
And who was doing that bluesy version of “Honky Tonk Women” at the end of the show when Wilson went to stay with House?
Heh…that had me rolling.
I can’t swear to it, but I think it was Albert King.
Could it have been from this album of blues Rolling Stones covers? It’s the only one I can find on amazon but I thought I heard of a more recent one. Having listened, sounds like it might have been.
