House M.D.

[WoodChuck1]

I do not know what it is but I really get a kick out of this show. --Ok, that was a bit of a fib I do know why- it's because House (Hugh Laurie) is such a sarcastic jerk and I find that humorous (I know it's sad).

Anyone else like this show?

Very Sad! House is a good show.

Hi, I just saw it once but haven't really viewed it well but it seems that the story is really sad.

That's my favourite show that's currently in production.

By the way, have you heard Hugh Laurie speak with his natural British accent? That's entertaining after being familiar with his American "House" accent.

We have the remake of Flight of The Phoenix on DVD, and he's also in that.

I'd like to go back and check him out on Black Adder sometime.

Hugh Laurie

He and Stephen Fry had a show on Brit tv for a while that was very funny, they also did a series called Jeeves and Wooster that shows up on PBS. Did you see Laurie on Craig Ferguson's show, very funny guy.

No, I never did see him on Craig Ferguson's show unfortunately. Going to have to see if I can find it online.

I know I watched him do an interview some time back and was astonished at his real voice. That showed me that he is as good an actor as I knew he was!

If you input "Hugh Laurie" into the search function on YouTube you'll be presented with a bunch of interesting clips, everything from Black Adder to Fry&Laurie and House. He's a very talented (and funny) man.

I don't watch much television at all, so nope, I've never seen House. My husband watches it though, and gets a kick out of it, too.

Another interesting thing about House is that when he's playing the piano or guitar in the show, that's actually Laurie playing, which I think is very cool.

Remember the show when somebody kidnapped his electric guitar?.... I think it was Wilson.

If you do get to check out "Jeeves and Wooster", there are quite a few times that Hugh Laurie is playing the piano. He is a fantastically talented musician. He also plays a bit in the movie "Peter's Friends", I believe. (If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend it highly).
As to his accent on House, that nasal twang keeps me from really getting into the show.
