In terms of contemporary TV, House is great fun, with Laurie playing,
very well, a brilliant diagnostic doctor with the id of a 4 year old.
We enjoy it, I must say, although the plotlines have become a little
too obvious lately. But Laurie is very good in it, &, actually, the
other players are good in their roles, too....
but hey, it is 'chacun a son gout' for sure....
