@Bruce

I found the amount of CGI particularly funny. Seems Fox’s approach to this show is to throw more money at it, which is rather unlike them. I mean yeah, we’re not horribly far away in terms of technology from the whole virtual reality headset thing they were showing us, but I draw the line at real-time lip-syncing.

Otherwise though also loved the episode (as someone who enjoys cooking, I’ll certainly be taking that vinegar thing to heart). I do wonder how they’ll deal with the whole 13 thing once House is back though, assuming he’ll take back control of the team… oh and the Taub thing.

I thought that HOUSE M.D.’s 2nd episode was pretty good! For once it wasn’t centered completely around House and I enjoyed watching the secondary characters take the limelight and run with it.

By far one of the best epi’s I’ve seen.

Loved Flashforward , and Fringe is looking like they’re gonna have another great season.

I can’t wait to get back into Lie To Me , thats pretty much my favourite show right now.
They based Tim Roth’s Character on Paul Ekman (professor of psychology at the University of California , San Francisco ).
I’m reading one of his books right now called Telling Lies , its pretty amazing stuff. I’m fascinated by body language and now that I know about micro expressions I want to learn more about that too.

House is a terrific show with a great cast ( Hugh Laurie is SUCH a good actor ) and terrific writing but I just can’t watch medical dramas anymore , I’ve had my fill of those.

I don’t seem to make much time for sitcoms lately ( except for 2 & 1/2 Men ).
How I Met Your Mother is a terrific show ( ALL HAIL NPH !!!!! ) and Big Bang Theory is pretty funny as well but I I usually find something else to watch when they’re on.

I’m a big fan of MMA , so I never miss an episode of The Ultimate Fighter ( good season so far -I hope Kimbo Slice does well , I think he has great potential as an mma fighter ).

@Anthony

It’s not for everyone, the show’s pretty honest about who it’s target audience is, which is geeks. It’s mostly situational comedy, but people generally get more out of it if they understand the nerdier jokes. And even if they don’t, the fairly eccentric characters are fun to watch.

But I totally understand why some people may not like it as much.

@Joshi

I’ve never watched Big bang Theory… something about it just doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t know why.

House, How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory for me. They’re the only shows I care about.

Except from all of the slo-mo I see in some of the previews, it looks like a 30 second sequence will take up about 15 minutes of the show, haha. Hopefully it’s just for dramatic effect for the pilot. But I’m not to interested in any of these medical dramas anyway, House is the only one I watch and the only reason I watch that is because it’s freakin hilarious, House says and does what all of us wish we could, but couldn’t without worrying about lawsuits or losing our jobs…

House MD, The Office, Flash Forward, Californication, those are my shows right now. I’m curious about Trauma, although it seems like another formula show.

Wow, so NBC has TWO shows trying to replace ER, huh? It’s almost like they took ER and split it. You have the EMT’s and then the nurses (Mercy). I think that the networks should lay off the medical dramas for a bit because it’s REALLY old. ER jumped the shark 5 years ago, but it took that long for the heartbeat to die. I realize that alot of people like House, so maybe that should be the ONLY medical drama on TV right now. Let’s wait for it to be fresh again instead of rehashed. I mean, what can Trauma have in it that HASN’T been on ER?

I’ll stick with Heroes and 2 1/2 Men….

They keep showing previews for Trauma at the movie theater’s “First Look” thing. I smell John Woo-esque overuse of slo-mo from those previews…

Dammit, gonna be working through tonight’s episode of House, again… I need to get monday’s off again, the weekend’s overrated, lol.
