i’m usually not that big into watching tv. actually, i think the dang thing rots people’s minds…just because you watch the “700 club” doesn’t mean you know a thing about christianity! wake up! (deep breaths, relax the blood pressure.) anyway. i have recently quieted the little voice from within and indulged in the bottomless wisdom that is television.

my weakness: house. i don’t know if you’ve ever watched this program, but it’s similar to the phenomenon of getting kicked in the teeth and gently asking, “please sir, i want some more.” that’s right. i compared house to oliver twist (which is somewhat warranted because “dr. house” is actually from the england-ish region). that’s about where the connection ends. the point is, i just can’t stop watching it! i’m as addicted to watching it as “dr. house” is to vicodin (oh snap). he’s sarcastic, demeaning, offensive, selfish, depressed, depressing, bitter, and arrogant…yet the most intelligent doctor in the hospital…so you have to love him. and i keep coming back for more.

house is like “er” without the unbearable drama and lifelike gore. it’s like “grey’s anatomy” but better and without, well, being ridiculously pointless and soap opera-like. it’s like “scrubs” but with less laughing and no zach braff (but i’m still hopeful). it’s like “emergency” from the 70’s but…actually they have very little in common other than that they both involved emergencies and a hospital.

so here’s my recommendation for tuesday nights at 8 on fox (or tonight on usa from 8-11!!!): get your daily kick in the teeth by watching house! you’ll be better for it.
