House has earned my respect

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I don't like watching this show on regular TV, even on the Fox HD channel.

It isn't broadcast in widescreen... I get the bars on each side.

It still looks less-crisp than a DVD.

I have the FOX logo in the bottom right of the screen.

I had a bigass "Severe weather alert" map in the upper left corner, along with scrolling "the following counties..." scrolling along the top. All in all, I'd guess 20% of the screen was obstructed.

I'm seriously contemplating not watching it on TV at all and waiting for the Season 4 DVD.

Anyone been watching this? Shyte is rapidly going in directions I don't like. The roommate agrees. There's a downhill trend I'm not liking.

It's in a bit of a lull with this baby thing and the 13/Foreman storylines dragging down the momentum, I'll grant that, but I still think it's worth watching.

Anyone catch the latest episode? Where the fuck did that shyte come from? Missed the ep before it. Thought it'd to've something in there to explain the shyte. Not much of a goddamned thing.

I think the point was nobody saw it coming.

The only thing was Taub taking credit for Kutner's idea at the end of the previous ep. Don't know if they're going anywhere with that or not.

It's due to out-of-story stuff. The actor that plays Kutner quit the show and is now working at the White House for Obama in the PR department. That was what the writers decided to do with his character.

He was for about a year-and-a-half. He was pretty good, too.

That's the kind of shyte I was wondering. Kind of weak, though.

Kal Penn now works Prez Diamond Joe Quimby's PR dept? Fuckin' hell.

He's hallucinating Wilson's dead girlfriend & she's part of his subconscious or something.

Ah, of course. (I've never seen even a minute of the show prior to part of that ep)

I got a witness to attest to this : I called at least two major plot events this week about half a week ago. If their writers are thinking like me, that can't be a good sign.

There's all sorts of bullshit attached to why that's the person he thinks he's seeing or why it's happening to begin w\.
