I have never watched House except an odd episode here or ther, but am now TiVoing all episodes that come one. Via an episode guide, I have figured out that I am getting episodes from both this past season and season one. I've even been able to identify a few eps I caught before I started recording. I vaguely remember watching some eps with House getting a gift from a patient, possibly a young woman - drugs perhaps were involved. ring any bells?

Connie, my father's family is from SE PA and I don't recall them using that term either.

Maybe it's a central PA thing. (And therefore still wrong, wrong, wrong for Philly.)

New York City writers, we're on to you!

Well, that was a waste. Watched the pilot for Mental and aside from the appearance of having been filmed on videotape, was tired and unintelligent and badly lit (and not in a West Wing/Firefly dark lighting/embracing the shadows way).

I coulda been napping.

I have been watching Mental, mostly because I am out of tv shows, and I am really distracted that they costume Annabella Sciora, who is a rather high power administrative person is such cleavage baring outfits. I don't know any hospital administrators that do that!

Lisa Cuddy?

I only got as far as the second ep and AS's red outfit was just so... costumey. It seemed too Madame-esque/flamboyant/theatre.

Other than that, I thought that she looked fabulous, even with the extra padding. I actually thought she was pregnant at first. The other thing that bothered me was it seemed the blocking had lots of shadows and furniture hiding her body, like the show was embarrassed by her weight.

Lisa Cuddy?

I always assumed her lack of neckage just needed to be balanced out by more chestage.

I just turned off Bones. It's the one where Booth and Brennan run off to join the circus. I had forgotten how excruciatingly BAD this episode is.

If only that episode had been a figment of Booth's tumor-ridden imagination.
