He is hilarious!<br />That's why I was so deeply dismayed to see him become this mumbling, grumbling American-accented House thing.<br />I just laugh and roll my eyes when I read of people who think Hugh Laurie is American and only puts on a British accent for roles!<br />It's the other way around, people!<br /><br />It saddens me to see these great British actors having to take these stupid roles, that so totally attenuate what they are really capable of...same goes for Ian McShane who I LOVE as Lovejoy, but detest in that stupid Deadwood series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-10741912850502688322008-02-03T23:14:00.000-05:002008-02-03T23:14:00.000-05:00I totally agree!

I deal with doctors a lot, as I have Lupus and a life threatening Lung Disease no ones ever heard of before. I'm pretty fed up with haughty, unfeeling doctors, and feel blessed to have finally found a nice crew of stellar practitioners. It's like…"Now, why would I want to watch a 'vile Dr. euphemism' as my weekly entertainment?"...Nope, I just got rid of all the Dr. Euphemisms in my life and I’d prefer not to rehash it all for fun and relaxation. Ah but everyone I know seems to love House, CSI, and Ugly Betty and I just don't “get” those shows. I must be a freak of nature or rather a freak of pop culture. I do “get” Heroes, Lost, and Desperate Housewives, so maybe there’s hope for me yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-5181057365515057212007-06-22T17:14:00.000-04:002007-06-22T17:14:00.000-04:00Frick, Yor beat me to it.

He does an excellent American accent. Check him out in Blackadder the Third as George, Prince of Wales (as loveable a dunderhead as ever there was.)<BR/><BR/>In reality, he just seems like such a good guy, I can't help but like him. <BR/><BR/>I started watching House when it was in the mid-second season, and then only because I read that he was in it.<BR/><BR/>I keep watching it because I love to watch him act ...and because his character reminds me more than a little bit of my grampa.Gravityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041365697378816172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1168499862435473642007-01-11T02:17:00.000-05:002007-01-11T02:17:00.000-05:00I hate house with a passion :D I just dont get the...I hate house with a passion :D I just dont get the show.

Never watched before.<BR/><BR/>Well, I know why it's called that, now; intern Gray sleeps around, spreading her anatomy all over the place. Er, that sounds alot worse than I mean it . . .<BR/><BR/>I love how different the show is from ER, though. I got tired of all the times the ER got invaded, assaulted, or blown up. Although I must say, last year the scene where Carter sobs in his father's arms over the loss of his baby . . . . that is one of THE BEST scenes ever, with all the layers going on, estranged father, and all that.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I also tried Wooster & Jeeves; Hugh talks WAY too fast, in a British accent that isn't cockney, but is a common, lower class type, and I had to concentrate just to understand what he was saying, mostly from the speed. Plus, his character has no brains. I guess I like a man with a brain, lol.

I get to be an armchair shrink, I guess, with this guy. Maybe THAT's why some people like the show.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, Carrie, where ARE the nurses? Seems to me the only other non-doc hospital staff shown, was when Wilson would flirt with a file clerk, or I think the one nurse I saw on their briefly once . . . . <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I remember they used to send patients to say a neurosurgeon, to do whatever brain surgery was needed, and so that's why this time I was surprised, like, um, hey, I didn't know House was qualified/certified to do that . . . Not that I know much about such qualifications/certifications, but . . . and I guess for cancer stuff, the go-to guy is Wilson. They need to add a shrink to, help House get a grip. I woulda thunk it'da been almost mandatory, given he'd be coming back to work to the very spot of the trauma . . . and given the nature of his job, they'd want to make sure he was, well, together.<BR/><BR/>Except he's never been, really.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for along comment again, lol.<BR/><BR/>It's a nice distraction from facing/confronting some HUGE fears, some HUGELY frightening for me situations today, this week, and next week.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1158522658865452072006-09-17T15:50:00.000-04:002006-09-17T15:50:00.000-04:00I do like House - but not for any medical reasons....I do like House - but not for any medical reasons. There are no nurses in the show - or any other hospital personnel at all really. Ever notice that? How they can all just jump from being diagnosticians to MRI techs to being able to resuscitate patients entirely on their own to brain surgery, etc etc....<BR/><BR/>It's really medically inaccurate and frankly that is frustrating. But I like the drama and such. When it originally came on, my mom said to me, "You need a doctor like this. One with perhaps no likeable personality at all, but one that will stop at nothing to find out what is wrong with you and get a treatment for it." ha....<BR/><BR/>You know that the character that plays House is actually from England? I love hearing him talk when he's interviewed on various shows as he is so soft spoken and seems very friendly! If nothing else, he is very convincing as an actor!<BR/><BR/>Take care!<BR/>Carrie :)NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1158504117867513232006-09-17T10:41:00.000-04:002006-09-17T10:41:00.000-04:00Oh, and my teeny-bopper says everyone likes House ...Oh, and my teeny-bopper says everyone likes House and will now boycott the blog because they don't want to be associated with me...Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1158504040578440162006-09-17T10:40:00.000-04:002006-09-17T10:40:00.000-04:00Even by this standard:http://www.nytimes.com/2006/...Even by this standard:<BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/16/opinion/16hauck.html?ex=1158638400&en=7bae1b2c6201df65&ei=5070<BR/>I'm still allowed to watch TV!<BR/><BR/>My favorite shows, Homicide and NYPD Blue, are gone.

He was right both times, both for believing (cause the thing he was asked to believe about was true, but he wasn't right for believing because it was true, but because it was going out on a limb for someone who was a fellow human being) when the patient needed it, and for finding the lie, when the patient needed it but didn't know it.<BR/><BR/>Er, sorry to go on, there. Seeing his stretching beyond his usual House-ness is what I like to see.<BR/><BR/>Well, and then there's those eyes . . . . <BR/><BR/>I've been told there's a British series on PBS with him in it, from I don't know when, that I'll have to check out, and he's also in my FAVORITE MOVIE, that is the best for soothing me when frightened and agitated and stuff. Sense and Sensibility. He's not the nicest there, either, but his wife kinda is an understandable reason for that.<BR/><BR/>Whoops. Sorry for the House chronicles. I am also very curious to see whether he's addicted to this NEED to be RIGHT and solve EVERY case, or whether there's more to it than that. They are really pushing that part of the storyline right now.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and when I first started watching House a year ago, and saw that his character had a limp, I said, they are gonna have to get rid of that, or he's gonna develop back, leg, etc. problems . . . .<BR/><BR/>It's SO nice to be right!!
