Rather surprising that more people haven't shot House.
Mighty fine shindig.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

Based on the hit feature about a married couple who are spies
They're not spies, they're assassins. Spies are boring. And have been done to death.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Three words (or, more accurately, two names and a letter): David. E. Kelley.

I keep hoping David E. Kelly can do something as good as Picket Fences or the first couple of seasons of Ally McBeal again.
A modern day Phillip Marlowe sounds intriguing to me.
