'House' postmortem: Dissecting the finale

WARNING:Stop reading if you have not watched last nights episode ofHouse. Everyone else, onward and downward… Deep breaths, Huddy fans.Deepbreaths. It was nothing more than a figment of Houses Vicodin-soaked, Kutner-grievin, Amber-obsessed imagination. We have to do things our way, theHouseway. We wouldnt want to have the characters do anything out of character. Two months later, Shore was equally as cagey about the impending romp. But I will confirm that we are taking things forward [with them]....

'House' recap: As I lay dying (or flashing)

A crazyass lockdown that gave everyone a mini-Breakfast Clubstory! A moment of emotional decency from House, and an actual flicker of an interesting human being from Thirteen! Everything was upside-down and backwards in Lockdown. And I kind of loved it. This was the best episode in months. Poor Chase, still getting strung along by the overly righteous Cameron. Reading each others files wasnt all that revealing Foreman has an inferiority complex?...

'House' recap: Doctors without boundaries

So happy for her, right? Not House, of course. It was stunning to see Hugh Laurie in action as he reacted to this news in the baby store. Credit: Adam Taylor That one final sequence jump-started the episode, which I had feared was on a bridge to nowhere. Now, of course, I am eager for next week to happen already. That speech was boring. You dont let other peoples problems affect you....

'House' recap: Experimental haze

But this weeksHouseick factor, a food fur ball, certainly gave it a run for its money. That character reminds me too much of those goofy crime solving show protagonists onMonkandPsych. I know those series are supposed to be good and pretty entertaining, but Im sorry. Credit: Michael Yarish/Fox This personal glitch made me realize that I miss the Wilson-House rapport just as much as House does. NEXT: Wrong diagnosis The Grim Reaper, as always, is a major character on House....

'House' recap: Kindness is its own reward

The babes dying 16-year-old chubby mother had hidden her pregnancy and thought shed had a still birth. What a sappy show it was, but I really had a good time watching the whole thing. First of all, I just loved watching House turn into a nice person. Credit: Greg Gayne/FOX I could have watched several hours of clinic duty where the man pretended to have good bedside manner. House tried to be a good boy to win a bet with Wilson....

'House' season finale: The time has come

Can one scene redeem a whole episode? How about 90 percent of a season? CanHouses roller-coaster year mental institution! be declared a success based on a whopper of a closer? Image Credit: Adam Taylor/Fox I give it a sternmaybe. I pretty much hated this episode until the Huddy scene at the end. Hugh Laurie was great, of course, and the drama of him relapsing is rich for exploration. Thats a sweeps episode ofGreys Anatomy, notHouse....

'House' spoiler alert: 'Chameron' twist revealed!

Warning: Stop reading if you havent seen last nightsHouse. Holy bait and switch, Batman! You dont recall him making such a threat? I think they are wary about getting into too much relationship stuff. Its a procedural show at its core. Thats why people like it. Thats why I like to watch it. You wont see Chase and Cameron making a home and having babies and other greeting card stuff....

'House': Is romance the best Rx?

Is he throwing a tantrum? Engaging in a moment of self-castigation? But for some reason, stupid isnt coming outAmericanenough to the British star. Credit: PHOTOGRAPH BY JAKE CHESSUM It just doesnt sound right, he says. The camera rolls, the director calls Action! Again, to the untrained ear, Lauries stupid sounds about as Yankee as baseball. Nope, one more time. The accent is the most frustrating thing for me, Laurie says later....

It includes a montage video of Kutner moments backed by music composed by Laurie. Credit: Adam Taylor/Fox Its very nice, if a bit antithetical to the artistic ideas behindHouse.

'How I Met Your Mother' season finale recap: Taking a leap of faith

Which brings us to last nights season 4 finale, aptly titled Take the Leap. Take the Leap takes place on Teds infamous, goat-attended 31st birthday party. And Ted, being the perennial good guy that he is, gave Barney his blessing. (Ted pointed out that Marshall has had trouble getting off the couch lately.) There were a few things I really loved about this part of the episode. But, what struck me most about this was its authenticity of New York....
