Momma's TV Reviews

Or to be more accurate (in my case):
Simply the ONLY show on television .
I have no love for television in general, so I am surprised to find myself sitting here writing my thoughts on just that: a television show. My free time is already stuffed to the brim with hobbies and projects and reading materials ... BUT I do set aside an hour every week to catch the latest episode of House.
Thoughtful plots and credible writing push this show beyond the normal junk that is served to us through television. Add in the unique character that is Gregory House MD portrayed by the actor Hugh Laurie and television finally has something to offer me.
If you haven't bought the season 1 or 2 DVD sets, I encourage you to do so. Obviously the DVD's contain the entire episodes for that season (with no commercials, hooray!), but the DVD's also contain behind the scenes content that any House fan will find compelling. For example, hearing Hugh Laurie speak with his normal English accent was a real eye opener.
It is strange to read any sort of negativity regarding the entire Tritter story arc, since I personally found the tension of the vengeful detective versus the drug fiend doctor pretty entertaining. Yeah, make no mistake ... House is a drug fiend. I'm not one to decide whether or not that is moral, but I can certainly understand seeking relief from chronic pain.
Here is my single sentence review of House MD:
A brilliant but very messed up diagnostic doctor who commands three impressionable underlings and how he saves a person who has some unusual medical condition every week.
Well, House MD is a more complex show than that, but boil it down and I am fairly accurate.
My only fear is that since I actually watch the show, does that mean it will be cancelled? If so, I may as well sell my television and buy some more books instead.
