This is probably the singular reason to watch this channel. It's loaded with bumfuckery shows like "Marriage Boot Camp" and "Ex Isle" but for the past few weeks they've been doing all-day long marathons of "House" on Saturdays. The promo is even infectious.

I never really got to watch this show in its initial run, and have never been a fan of the "crazy but genius and sardonic" character-driven drama. but this is pretty well written and hugh laurie is outstanding (as if that's a surprise). but also the ensemble cast is, for the most part, pretty great (although i loathe, LOATHE, the character of amber volakis, especially in death). i love epps's foreman. actually yesterday they played the "euphoria" 2 parter, where epps displays some of his best performing chops ever. so i guess they play little mini marathons on fridays?

anyhow, this has been a great addition to some much needed lazy saturday afternoons/evenings the past few weeks. if anyone needed a head's up, here you go. check it out, even if it's for the second or third time.

you just have to deal with WE TV's commercial breaks. you have been warned.

I concur. They've been running this for the last month or so and it's been glorious. Having to survive the Tamar & Vince and Marriage Boot Camp commercial breaks is almost, but not quite, a deal breaker.

My theory is that House takes place in the same universe as E.R. and that Dr. Gant faked his own death (sorry Carter) so he could get out from under Dr. Benton, only to wind up working for an even bigger ass in House.

it started to get very repetitive, as many shows do, after the 6th season; but the characters kept it appealing. the additions to the final few seasons weren't that great but they usually still had great patient story arcs to keep it watchable.

another thing about WE TV...sometimes there's a drop in the broadcast followed by a 2-3 second delay in audio/video. it can get really aggravating. i wish this was on a better channel, but what can ya do.

Last 3 episodes of him trying to work his way out of going to jail so he could be around for Wilson and how everything turned out was really cool. I also though #13 was not the hottest on the show, give me Cuddy any day of the week.
