Hooked on House

October 8, 2008

So I’ve been watching House M.D. during my spare time. I only get to watch one or two episodes a day because of my workload. I can’t afford to do a marathon, though that would be ideal. I’m only halfway through season one, and I still have three seasons to go, add to that the first season of Mad Men which I plan to watch after I finish House. I don’t exactly remember the first time I was able to watch an episode on TV, but I’m pretty sure I fell in love with the show after that first time - love at first sight, if you will.

Lately I’ve been wondering if there is a real Dr. House. I wonder if the creator of the show based this House character loosely on someone, doctor or not. But if there were a real Dr. House, I want to meet him, talk to him, even let him mock me and be irreverent with me - I just adore his wit, humor and personality. It would also be nice if he were my doctor. That would be sweet. Or maybe a boss would be a better idea because he couldn’t care less about his patients, really. He only cares about their diseases. Cares might not even be the right word.

Anyway, I’ve never been this involved in a TV show since God knows when. I’m glad people still make crap-free shows like this one.
