House, M.D.

It's official. I'm addicted to the show "House, M.D." starring Hugh Laurie, Omar Epps, and all those folks. I innocently rented the first disc in Season 1 from NetFlix the other day and found that I couldn't stop. Admitting I have a problem is the first step, of course.

I then decided that I wasn't about to wait for the rest of the discs in the series to arrive, so I purchased my own boxed Season 1 set from my local FYE. The past few evenings have been spent in front of my TV watching episode after episode after episode. I just can't get enough.

Hugh Laurie is awesome in his role as Dr. Greg House, with his acerbic attitude and dry wit. I've seen him pop up in other movies & TV shows before, most notably "Flight of the Phoenix," and I thought he was pretty good in those roles as well. He just excels in this show, however.

Robert Sean Leonard is excellent and he adds quite a bit of intermittent comedy into the show (not that Laurie has a deficiency in that department), but he also adds a good character from which Dr. House may bounce his ideas. Add into this cast the wonderful Jennifer Morrison, who is certainly not hard to look at, and Omar Epps, who fills his role quite well, and you've got a winner.

My only concern at this point in time is: What happens when I finish watching season 1? I have to wait to see all the season 2 episodes. Damn you DVD's and your instant gratification!
