There's this little show I like to watch, called House. This show is about a cynical jerk wad of a doctor who is sort of a super genius. Dr. Gregory House, the title character, is played by the brilliant and oddly attractive Hugh Laurie (see image at right). The only problem I've found with House is that it airs on Tuesday nights. Tuesday nights I spend sitting in an ugly chair next to the door of my dorm building playing Solitaire and listening to music.
Did I say this was a problem? I meant this is awesomeness in physical form.
Why? Well, you see, Fox decided to put full, current episodes of House online.
This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even though I don't get to watch it as it airs, I have the privilege of being paid to play mindless computer games and I don't have to miss out on my favorite show.
Fox knows that in this electronic age, the way to succeed is through the brilliant and deliberate merging of communication mediums. They know that people like me have a busy schedule, and would often rather watch their favorite shows at 2AM as opposed to 8PM.
The best part of House, aside from the British eye candy, is the dialogue. Dr. House says some positively snarky and hysterical things throughout each episode, and Fox knows it. Fox took the liberty of giving me a directory of the best quotes from each episode!
"Dying people lie too. Wish they'd worked less, been nicer, opened orphanages for kittens. If you really want to do something, you do it. You don't save it for a sound bite."
