Not me.  
For some reason I can watch House and Bones all day long and love it.  
Which is weird.

Decent. Although I bet…

13 is getting randomly axed like Kutner, for whatever reason. Is she working for Obama now, too? :rolleyes:

I didn’t much like it. Some of the b-plot with the team was interesting and amusing, but overall it did not enthrall me. Looking forward to next week’s though.

I did like it. Didn’t like subplot 13 (especially the ending) much, but I really did like the House & Cuddy ending.

LOVED it, I thought it was very well done. I liked the semi-comic overtones throughout the show, and House waffling and wavering. It should be interesting to see a happy House, for a while at least.

Olivia Wilde’s name is in the credits now. she is making a movie and will be off for a few episodes, but she is now a regular cast member.

I’m with you there, at least where House is concerned, I could watch House all the time and never grow tired of it.

I wanted to slap House when he tried to break up with Cuddy.

If it doesn’t work out you can go back to being a lonely bitter drug addict. That’s pretty much where you’ll end up if you end things with Cuddy.

The team has to solve a mystery involving a sickly, wacky neurosurgeon, while House and Cuddy explore each other and their new relationship.

It was too much soap opera and not enough medicine. It is nice to see that Peter Jacobson and Olivia Wilde finally get in the main credits, though.

I was trying to figure out what organs were assigned to them. PJ’s looked like some sort of wispy sponge, and 13’s looked like an egg being fertilized. But I’m not sure about either of those.

Would someone refresh my memory about last season’s last episode? I don’t remember any of the stuff alluded to in this new episode. She dumped the detective? There was some kind of tragic patient death? That House \*gave \*a shit about?

Very dramatic episode. A crane collapse demolished a building, Cuddy and House on site with the rescuers. House found a woman trapped underground, her leg crushed, leg had to be amputated but she still died. (this reverberated with House because of the problems with his leg). He went home, smashed bathroom mirror to get to the hidey-hole where he stashed Vicodin. Cuddy showed up, said she broke up with Lucas, said she loved House.

Last night’s episode picked up directly from that.

Do you ever watch the House-a-thons on Bravo and USA channels? I can sit there from 6 a.m. till the cows come home watching every rerun.

I’d read somewhere that in 2009, House was the most widely watched television show in the entire WORLD. (used to be Baywatch years ago).

Thanks. Wow, I never saw that. I guess my DVR hiccuped, because it is picking up the new stuff just fine.

Not enough Wilson. He should have stayed stuck in the kitchen window for about half an hour providing Greek chorus while House and Cuddy Did It in the bedroom. The hallucinating neurosurgeon was funny – but they’ve conveniently forgotten that Foreman has performed numerous neurosurgeries in the past. And somebody tell me that bottle of Old Spice was a gift because surely House would never buy that for himself.

I don’t know why, but House wheeling Wilson away from the window had me rolling on the floor laughing.

The subplot about the toad eggs was better than House & Cuddy.
