Gnarly House MD faces the same trials, and solves them the same way, week in week out in this formulaic American series.
House will show us that he won't be pushed around by the hospital bosses, who seem insistent on making him do something he really doesn't want to do, namely help patients. He will belittle his three (three!) sidekicks, yet they will still adore and respect him.
Someone will come in with a seemingly untreatable disease, then someone else - usually a child - will come in to be treated by him during which he will realise the answer to the episode's main raison d'etre illness, and a lightbulb moment will occur.
All the time you keep expecting Hugh Laurie to burst into the costume of the Prince Regent in Blackadder 3 as his acting just isn't good enough to convince us. It's better than that of his dubious sidekicks, especially the English/Australian guy who is hopeless.

I've only just started to watch season 2 on TV so wanted to catch up on the first season.

But Laurie, who will turn 50 on 11 June (09), insists he never seriously considered following through with his threat. He says, "I made a pact with friends when we were 18 that we'd kill ourselves before we got to 40. It... Read more
