And we just cruised past PBS and saw an episode of "Jeeves and Wooster." It's so weird to think, "And he grows up to be House."

OMG, I laughed. And laughed.

Is House a procedural? is it all those procedures?

And - talking about Bones - you'd think that with three CSIs, Bones, etc., on TV people would have learned (aside from what a furry is) not to leave any bodily fluids behind if they kill someone.

Art Crawl!!!

Tom Fontana (formerly of Homicide: LOTS) has left the new show The Philanthropist because his vision was too dark for NBC.

Toddson, despite the soapy aspects of House, it's the diagnostic aspect of it that puts it in the procedural category. I think it's about 60/40 diagnostic/soap. Unlike Gray's Anatormy, which is more like 70/30 soap/medical. We don't cotton to the soaps here, that's Minearverse. *g*

Yeah, we can criticize the stupid diagnoses and the Victim of the Week. Plus make much of House/Wilson.

Homicide: LOTS

Before I translated the acronym, my first response was, "Yeah, true, dead bodies everywhere."

Is House a procedural?

Interestingly enough, yes. David Shore and Paul Attanasio conceived it as a procedural with germs as the suspects.
