re: house being shot, from wikipedia:
Jack Moriarty is a vengeful individual who shoots House in the second season finale, "No Reason." His wife was once a patient of House, and in the process of investigating her illness, House pressured Moriarty to tell him the absolute truth. Moriarty revealed to House that he had had an affair; although this fact was medically irrelevant to her illness, House told Moriarty's wife. Consequently, Moriarty's wife committed suicide (how much of this is true is open to debate, for this information is revealed to the audience during House's hallucination).
In the hallucination that results from Moriarty's attack on House, Moriarty is wheeled to the same intensive care unit House is in. There, Moriarty proceeds to psychoanalyze House, though it turns out at the end that this is actually House conversing with his subconscious. It is revealed in the episode, "Meaning", that Moriarty was never caught for shooting House.
The name "Moriarty" is never used in the episode itself; rather, only appearing in the press releases and script for the episode. It is one of many parallels to Sherlock Holmes, as noted above; it's the name of the great detective's nemesis Professor Moriarty.
Rather surprising that more people haven't shot House.
Just watched Desperate Housewives (again, not completely sure it goes in here rather than Comedy, but it's an hour long, so I'll put it here for now) and I have to say my biggest emotional reaction was to Susan throwing out the cakes. Because that is just a sad waste of cake. DH and I discussed for more than a couple of minutes all the better ways she could have disposed of them - she's got neighbors, a daughter, people she needs to discuss the problem that the cakes symbolize, all those people would be better off with cake.
It was a shame to throw out the cakes. I love that Mike is back to acting like Mike. I miss Bree. I wonder if the actress will be back from her maternity leave before the season is over?
Thanks, SA. I think the producers are dropping the ball dramatically speaking: getting shot should mean lots & lots of annoying investigators, insurance settlements and security measures and real life stuff, at least briefly alluded to.
I guess it was the TV world version of getting shot.
Well, House did have a hissy fit about keeping his blood-stained carpet.

They're not spies, they're assassins. Spies are boring. And have been done to death.
I was amazed at the number of pilots either from movies, or BBC remakes.
Having finished watching Life on Mars, I'm suddenly a lot more protective of it than I was when I first heard of the American remake. Maybe I'll feel better when they finalize casting, but I doubt it.
