It's about a nasty, mean spirited and possibly drug addicted doctor solving medical mysteries. It stars the brilliant Hugh Laurie, and he was wicked good. I'm not a CSI watcher, and I felt some of the close ups into the patient's nose and through her body were a bit much, but the characters show real promise. One of the producers is Bryan Singer, and he directed the premiere. eta: I bet y'all were watching The Amazing Race, right?

Clearly, this was pitched as a combo of CSI and ER, but they did it in a compelling way. They dropped the ridiculous melodrama that you see in ER, and concentrated more on the medical procedure like CSI does with forensics. Plus it has Omar Epps, who I've always thought was a talented and underrated actor. Based on the pilot, I'd definitely recommend it. Here's hoping it continues to be good.

But the main character was too much of a loose cannon, which seems pretty unrealistic to me given today's medical regulations. Ehhh, I'll probably give it another chance.

Sadly, the show itself disappointed me. I taped it while I watched TAR, and it kind of looks like I made the right choice.

I'll tape the next episode again and give it another shot. It was interesting to see the chick from The Craft do something again, and to see Omar Epps do something other than the hood movies he was always in.

This episode dealt with a schizophrenic woman being treated by her 15-year-old son. She was diagnosed with liver cancer that her psych medicines were covering up. Ultimately, it was determined that her previous docs misdiagnosed her schizophrenia; she actually had Wilson's Disease. This show is pretty good and we'll be watching it again. I like the Dr. House character, and I hope that I have a doc like him (just a little nicer) if I ever get seriously ill. Of course, since this is a Fox show, it will probably be cancelled next week, or be put on the shelf once American Idol returns.

Often it is on in the background while I am doing something else but I do enjoy it. I am dissapointed I missed the end of the nun one though. It looked interesting. All in all not a bad show. The head woman at the hospital annoys me though.

It had one of my favorite lines. The Robert Sean Leonard guy asked House at the end how the nun was doing, and he said "Oh, you know how nuns are. You take out their diaphragms and they perk right up." I'm getting a little tired of the same plot lines (sick patient; doctors make him/her sicker before determining the proper treatment), but will never tire of Hugh Laurie. He is amazing, and the only reason, I think, to watch it.

Remove this ad I'm surprised more people here don't watch this (not that I watch regularly - it is up against TAR, after all). Apathetic asshole doctor seems right up everyone's ally. Brandy guests on tonight's episode.

I love this show, I think it's great and wish my docs were as inquisitive as House. Despite the similarities of every episode (a mystery illness, House does his investigation, no one agrees, he gets in trouble and then saves the day), I think they do a great job with the storylines.

Maybe after AR ends next week it will get a few more viewers. I would think that the AI lead-in isn't that great - people will be too busy dialing to watch.
