Let me be frank, the general population of the world has a IQ below 135, hence we mostly need shows for people who don't like it to be complicated. They don't care about the nuances, the dramatisation; they just want to know if Ross and Rachel marry!!
But then once in a while they make a show that everyone can like, ones with IQ<=151(people with higher IQs remain inside the labs). House M.D. is one such show. Hugh Laurie fits perfectly into the role of a maverick doctor who is constantly in pain. Have you ever seen his previous work...he has been on FRIENDS, he is Stuart Little's father, he is the Wooster in the Jeeves-Wooster duo, a bumbling royal in Blackadder...more or less a fulltime comedian!!
Dr. Gregory House is addicted...but more so (which is also the goddamn point of my blog) addictive. Recently I introduced House to my friend Nicchu aka Nishanth aka SoC Gilli aka "Fuck, I forgot something in the canteen, I forget what". House M.D. took him by surprise. To the extent that when he doesn't have episodes to watch, he thinks about the previous episodes. In his own words,
Nishanth: lol
i finished all episodes u gave
i am addicted
dont give anymore
me: ya take more
Nishanth: i said dont give
me: macha enjoy
Nishanth: boohoo
me: dont worry
when busy, i wont give
Nishanth: all i do is
watch house
eat sleep
Am I enjoying this, maybe I am!! Moving forward, as of Monday, Nishanth has vowed not to watch house for a week. Have you seen him lately? His hands shiver, he scorns contact with people...he can't sleep...in short I just created a druggie..... Hence the conclusion, House is Vicodin.
P.S. If you have not seen House MD. Gimme a buzz!! I can make the pain go away.....
