HOUSE Creator David Shore Talks Thirteen’s Return and a Possible Season 8

Tonight, HOUSE airs its 150th episode and it’s a big hour. Thirteen is released after a brief stint in prison and House is determined to find out what she did in her time away from Princeton-Plainsboro. So why did the show decide to have the MIA doc spend a good portion of her time away […]

Thirteen Returns to HOUSE: You Ask, I Answer

Olivia Wilde makes her long-awaited return to HOUSE this Monday, April 11th, under very unusual circumstances. After leaving Princeton Plainsboro so suddenly, many fans speculated that Dr. Remy Hadley, better known as Thirteen, had disappeared to seek experimental treatment for Huntington’s Disease. Other longtime viewers expected Thirteen to reappear with a baby bump. Judging by […]

HOUSE Recap: Bombshells

My viewing companions for this week’s HOUSE were three slices of mushroom pizza, delivered from a local trattoria that has never served me wrong. As the hour progressed, I was tempted to call back for a list of ingredients, in order to be certain that the toppings I consumed were not intended to help me […]

HOUSE ‘Get Happy’ Dance Number by Mia Michaels

HOUSE got a little dash of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE tonight when choreographer Mia Michaels brought her talents to the show in this haunting musical number featuring the vocal stylings of Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein.     That number certainly had Mia Michaels’ signature all over it.  Loved it!

HOUSE: Lisa Edelstein and Greg Yaitanes Preview ‘Bombshells’

In tonight’s brand new episode of HOUSE, Cuddy is the patient of the week and her illness leads to a series of genre-based dreams. It’s a change for the show which is fairly consistent in how they handle cases, but on a conference call last week with reporters, Lisa Edelstein (Cuddy) and director Greg Yaitanes […]

HOUSE Preview: Peep Hugh Laurie Singing!

If you saw the preview for next week’s episode of HOUSE, you know the hour promises to be a memorable one. After all, it’s not every day Dr. Crankypants sings. Yes, House sings. Cuddy is sick — the poor woman has had the worst luck since she and House have gotten together, hasn’t she? — […]

HOUSE Preview: ‘Recession Proof’

In tonight’s brand new episode of HOUSE, the team treats a patient with a rash from his blue-collar job — a job his wife is in the dark about. Meanwhile, Cuddy is being honored with an award and has an unusual plan to raise the odds of House showing up for her her big day. […]

HOUSE Recap: Two Stories

I am completely stumped to explain my reaction to this week’s HOUSE. On one hand, there were no significant plot developments or dramatic twists. On the other hand, I can make the argument that it was the most entertaining episode of Season 7. Confused? So am I… The brilliance of this hour, crafted by director […]

HOUSE: You Must Remember This

The opening moments of this week’s HOUSE crystallized the dangers of having too much information at your disposal. As a kid, it was fun to memorize the state capitals or who the 22nd President of the United States was. Those memory games were silly excuses to feel smart, not a lifelong burden. It is daunting […]

HOUSE: Family Practice

Sibling rivalries erupt over a litany of factors beyond our control. Basketball tryouts change brothers into playground rivals. The affection of a mutual crush melts the bonds of sisterhood. Professional successes that should be celebrated become bragging rights in the 3-D version of the game of life. Lisa Cuddy’s struggle to find common ground with […]

HOUSE Preview: ‘Family Practice’

When HOUSE returns with a brand new episode tonight, Cuddy’s mom, Arlene (Candice Bergen), falls ill and is taken to Princeton-Plainsboro. As is the case with many of the patients House treats, Arlene is harboring a few secrets that Cuddy is unaware of. But that becomes the least of their problems when Arlene makes a […]

HOUSE Star Lisa Edelstein Checks In To CHILDRENS’ HOSPITAL

The third season premiere of CHIILDRENS’ HOSPITAL is still months away (boo!), but after hitting up the set yesterday, I’m practically counting down the days. There are some crazy things coming our way. I got some face time with series creator/star Rob Corddry and we chatted about some of his favorite upcoming guest stars. It’s […]

HOUSE: Carrot or Stick

This week’s HOUSE dealt with tough love, a concept that is irrevocably linked with my new day-to-day responsibilities as a teacher. Students are not homogeneous, and the demands of educating the masses can often leave a chosen few behind. Kids who fear the judgment of their peers, struggle to reach out for help, and shudder […]

HOUSE Preview: ‘Carrot or Stick’

HOUSE fans get ready for some trouble! A brand new episode is airing tonight on Fox, and the hour includes Chase’s social-networking faux pas and some House/Rachel bonding. Oh boy… Also, the case of the week revolves around a military trainee and his drill sergeant, both admitted to the hospital with mysterious symptoms. Sounds good, […]

HOUSE: Larger Than Life

In 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle took the unusual step of turning a prime time television character into a Presidential Campaign issue. Mr. Quayle attacked the producers of CBS’ MURPHY BROWN for allowing Murphy, played by actress Candice Bergen, to become a single mother, “mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and […]
