House.
Thats him, Dr Gregory House, but to say it properly, it needs space. . like this.
~ House ~
any fans of Family Guy will immediately think, Road-House. I know i always do.
anyhoo, down to business.
Show usually begins with people you`ve not seen before, so you just know that someone is going to get ill. - a bit like the old star trek when you dont recognise one member of the landing party.
Initial guesses are made by the medical team.
House says Lupus.
Tests are done, patient recovers a little.
Quirky sub-plot ensues.
House goes out of his way to be a pain in the ass.
Patient gets ill again.
Quirky sub-plot influences the team.
Ugly doctor : " it`s a poison or toxin or bad sandwhiches and why did my wife leave me "
Beautiful doctor : " I have issues "
Bland but intriguing doctor : " i find none of you attractive, i`m going to get sacked arent i ? "
House : " it`s Lupus "
2 doctors search the house of poorly for clues., house pretends to grovel to boss, boss gives house more clinic hours.
everyone but house : " we know whats wrong with the patient, aint we great. ? "
2 doctors converse over the patient while giving treatment.
Patient gets really ill.
quirky sub-plot turns out to be the biggest clue.
House limps into shot and announces how stupid we all are, it was the airport lobby shampoo after all.
8 series in and still going strong,, if you`ve not seen it before, think Sherlock Homes and Columbo had a love child and.... no. i think i`ll stop there.
see you next time on Nutshell TV Review : breaking it down so you dont have to.
thanks for reading.


That's it in a nutshell sir....
ReplyDeleteI love Dr. House!
ReplyDeleteso do i, unfortunately its unrequited . he never returns my calls.
DeleteYes, you've nailed it!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who understands the formula of a TV show that well should be hired as a scriptwriter. I always thought Columbo was the lovechild of Sherlock Holmes and Barney Rubble.
ReplyDeletethankyou mr bananas.
DeleteVery true review, nailed it great!
ReplyDeletei watch this
ReplyDeletei do too, i`ve seen every episode ( i think ).
DeleteI never got into "House" but every time it's on, I watch the entire episode.
ReplyDeleteGawd, I hate that show. They are all the same. Throw a gun wielding maniac into that synopsis and you will have it perfect. Gah! Why do people watch it?
ReplyDeleteI love me some House but even I can't deny it follows the same pattern. Thankfully the stories outside of the patients are usually good too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it.. 'not' lupus? I was pretty sure it's 'never' lupus o-o I don't even watch it that much, though.
ReplyDeletethe cheat-sheet version of house : these pills? no, these pills ? no, these pills ? ...or maybe i`m thinking of grey`s anatomy.
DeleteI can never take him seriously and always associate him with Berty Wooster
ReplyDeleteI might watch it once I finish all seasons of Being Human.
ReplyDeleteI thought house was anti lupus
ReplyDeleteat one point he even says "it's never lupus"
other than that, kinda accurate in the overly simplified version of things
but there is an overarching storyline between the coverage of patients
and the most recent season seems to be changing things a little bit to get out of that pattern
Can't say I've actually seen House. But now I know what to expect from all the episodes so no point in watching now :>
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks. Now I don't have to watch a single episode. If you do one for Spartacus, I'll still have to watch, though. Good series, keep them up.
ReplyDeleteNever mind the bullshit, eh?! If only more reviews were as direct, I can't stand all the fuff! :)
ReplyDeleteha,, you should see my review of "lost".
DeleteI can just imagine! :)
Deletegood review
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my blog, now following
nice review
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've figured out the series now too! I've been watching house since season 5, I liked it, too bad it's.... It's.. :(
ReplyDeleteI've not watched it, and now I don't have to. :-)
ReplyDeletePearl
This show is awesome....and could Olivia Wilde be any more gorgeous!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteThis has saved me a lot of time - thanks!
ReplyDeleteLol, brilliant breakdown. I still love watching House though
ReplyDeleteI watch house once in away when time permits and I enjoy it. So thanks for the review.
