Lately been watching House, M.D.

A while back, I remember seeing the advertisements for the same and also remember me saying: 'hmmm I must see that, it looks interesting'. Something about it felt very appealing at the time. Unfortunately, like all TV shows, I cannot remember when they are on (I don't even try), and then there are the interruptions and further on there are 'incidents'. The 'incidents' I was referring to was the 'Lost' fiasco. I call it a fiasco; because, I was seriously interested in this, and religiously made time to tune in to watch it. But then one night the Red Sox game pushed the show into the wee hours of the night and I was too darn exhausted to watch it and that was the end of it. Couple of friends from work, did try and entice me to watch it, but I was annoyed enough, that I decided to wait for the DVD release. NOTE: I still have not seen season II onwards. Now, I am interested, but not motivated to watch it, so it is relegated down to something to get done, by the time I am 50 and not something to get done by the time I am 35. So, I avoid the potential of 'incidents' and watch reruns, which is perfectly fine by me.

The weird thing is that, it takes only one person to be passionate about something and me to overhear tid-bits and I am interested. But I don't have anyone in my life like that (er... right now), so, I don't bother too much about TV shows. If I have the time, and am flipping channels, I will stop and watch anything that takes my fancy.

Back to watching House, I think he is fantastic! I would hate to work for someone like that, but would love him to death. Something about this brilliant, bitter, antisocial and sarcastic character is extremely attractive. Hugh Laurie is amazing at it. I might have to get the DVD for the season 1 and see if I really like it, or hmmm, to the 'millions' of readers of this blog, anyone have it? May I borrow it?

Psst: I love this show, but, I am not going to keep awake till 11PM on Friday to watch this show!

{Edit: 6/11/2007}: Good lord! This weekend, all I did (apart from the usual, clean, shop, cook, plant) was sit in front of the idiot box (connected via my computer... another idiot box), and watch Season 1 AND Season 2 (50%) of House. Oh dear! This is bad, but it felt sooooo goooood! I think I like James too! Hmmmm.... well... mostly his Australian accent!
