(Season 2, Episode 3 – “I Knew Your Pig”) Another mind-bending episode, where everyone seems to be lying about something. They should start cross-promoting this with House’s “Everyone Lies” theme. Let’s see… Claire wants Daniel to tell her the truth. Instead, he says, “I had nothing to do with this.” Lies, all lies. We saw […]

Guess what, American Idol. There are people all over this great country and there are all kinds of colloquialisms out there. Some might call it local flavor, but it’s all America so you’d do well to do a little bit of homework before you smear a guy’s name across national television. For those who were […]

In contrast, dumb shows simply have no saving grace. They’re made for a group of people […]

(Season 5, Episode 12 – “Painless”) Read CliqueClack’s review of this episode Oh, how I missed Dr. House during the winter hiatus. The interactions between the team were getting more intricate and fascinating, and the last month has been sadly lacking in quotes, without the spectacular Dr. House around.
