Wired #4

I choose to read the article about Behind the Scenes of the Hospital Drama: HOUSE.

I am a HUGE fan of this show, so when I saw that it was in this issue of Wired, I immediately wanted to read up about it.

HOUSE is different than other hospital dramas like ER and Scrubs. While they are all still about hospital related things... HOUSE has an unique spice of it's own. I always saw ER as the serious hospital drama and I saw Scrubs as the comedic hospital drama.

I feel that HOUSE is a blend of both worlds. And I think that's why I love it so much.

In the article, the writer interviewed the one of the staff on the production team of HOUSE and asked him a series of questions.

He mentioned how every episode of HOUSE opens with a completely different setting. It's not even a hospital setting. So it appears as if you're watching some regular TV drama. But for anyone who's kept up with HOUSE knows that each of these openers leads to a scenario where SOMEONE in that opener is going to come down with a sickness or injury of some sort that'll require them to be rushed to the hospital immediate. The mystery behind these first few minutes is... who's it gonna be. I enjoy this first part of the show because you'll start to think... is it the most obvious person on the screen... or is it that other person! It's a mystery. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's not. It's always changing and it's rare for any scenario to be repeated or close to duplication.

And what about HOUSE. The star doctor? He's not your average doctor. No... he's actually quite a jerk and you'll probably find it hard to thank him through the course of the episode. He's sarcastic, narcisstic and quite forceful. But boy... is he a genius. He'll have your heart racing throughout the episode while producing hearty laughs with his sarcasm. At the end of the episode, you'll be leaning back in your seat, thinking Wow. That man is the shit.

The article wasn't particularly long... but I have many upon many things I could say about HOUSE in general.

If anyone who's not watching this show... I suggest you give it a try. It's probably one of the best shows I've seen in quite a while~ It got me watching TV again. And I hadn't watched TV so regularly in such a long time. Now that's saying something ;D
