HOUSE on FOX in HDTV - Page 162

So far, this has felt like another season of House, and not like the final season. I wonder at what point the series will enter the "end game", the point where the writers truly begin to set the wheels in motion for the series finale. Even considering the last episode, it's been a fairly tame season so far.

I will miss house. I still enjoy the medical mysterys and House's anti social behavior.

Sorry, you missed the joke. I was referring to the first episode from (3?) seasons ago when House didn't have a team and used Blue, the Janitor instead. The "Blew" part came when Wilson asked House how he got into Cuddy's locked office. House replied, "Blue (read as: blew) the janitor." Probably one of the best lines on House ever.

I thought House referred to THAT janitor as Doctor Buffer, because he was buffing the floor when house found/cornered him.

No I got it, I was just stating what I loved about the scene. That was a good episode though that you referenced!

Oh yeah, forgot there was both a Buffer and a Blue. Too many janitors at PP for my old brain.

If I remember, at one point, Doctor Buffer suggested Lupis as a diagnosis.

Anyone else find it strange that the INS guy talked about House and his fake wife watching NCIS together? He could have said American Idol (a Fox show) and the line would have worked just as well...

And the fact that Rena Sofer was seen often on NCIS, and looks like Lisa Edelstein.. mmm

So House's Wife, she's staying in 6 months... I guess until the show ends.. or else House goes to jail..

One of the advantages of being a Universal-produced series, rather than a 20th Century-produced series.

I'll be extremely cynical and say they picked NCIS because of USA's syndication rights, given that NCIS and House will likely be airing together on USA for some time. Hell, USA could even put up a bug that says when to watch at that moment.

Pretty good episode. I liked the whole team lead sub-plot. Also good seeing Joe from Medium on another show, always liked him on that show.

He was also on the Feb 8 episode of Royal Pains. That's two appearances in as many weeks, both performances very different.

It's pretty amazing that they preempted an evening of primetime programming to air the Daytona 500. I'm not going to cry myself to sleep .

Contractual requirement?

Aired in Canada, so it's in the ether.

Possibly, but they no doubt had contractual requirements with the advertisers on House and Alcatraz. If they aired the programming in Canada, I wonder what they intend to do here? Generally when some scheduled primetime programming gets preempt because of something on the east coast, it gets preempted here as well, even though there's nothing blocking it from airing in its normal slot. I'm surprised that they let it air in Canada. Are there no NASCAR fans there? They'll probably just air the same episode there again next week.

Not enough to bump prime time.

There's barely enough interest to warrant a mention on the news over hockey. See http://www.tsn.ca/ for an example.

Most sports contracts require the airing of games/events in their entirety. I'm assuming that includes delays. See The Heidi Game

Canada has simsubbing and also TSN / TSN 2 is the NASCAR Network in canada.

City TV has the rights for Alcatraz and simsubs over fox.

Meh they aired the commercial-fest called Daytona 500... don't get me wrong I like racing, I just don't like so many commercials on top of the already commercialized cars

Is House airing new episode next Monday even if it's not sweeps?

I'd rather watch Dr. House stare at a wall of paint drying for an hour than see more than 20 seconds of NASCAR. OK, maybe I'd settle for 21 seconds of NASCAR.

Over in TiVo Community forums there's some suggestion that Fox's primetime lineup actually aired delayed. This seems unlikely to me since, because of a fire on the track, the race was further delayed by 2+ hours and into the 10 PM Fox news here, which'd been 1 AM on the east coast. In any case Fox tweeted the preemption of House and Alcatraz by the race as soon as they knew that they were going to happen.

Who cares that they preempted House to show NASCAR. You aren't going to miss the episode. It will air next week. Stop your whining.

There's no episode of House scheduled to air on Fox in primetime next week, at all (see this). I see the preempted episode, "Love Is Blind", scheduled on USA Network on Friday 2 March from 4-5 PM.

The preempted episode of Alcatraz is not in the schedule anywhere. Perhaps Fox will announce that they're going to air these programs on Saturday evening or something.
