Afterthoughts on Gilmore Girls and House, M.D.
There have been a lot of WB shows on in my home over last two week. Assuming the best of all people, I will presume that you simply want to document for posterity’s sake the final days of the WB before it turns into the CW. That is awfully considerate of you. Garth Ancier would be very proud of you.
On to the terrible Gilmore Girls. Maybe there should not be such a strong adjective right away in the second paragraph. I should use a good adjective starting with a “T” to make up for my sudden attack.
Last night, I watched the terrific Gilmore Girls. Rats, I can not lie. It was terrible. 13 got back with NGAH, Bland dealt with Gruffy and her rich parents, and there was another subplot about writing a song. Sorry, Gilmore Girls. There can only be one show per week where people write a song, and The Apprentice beat you to the punch.
This episode was filled with people making bad decisions and bickering over nothing.
Bland also owns an inn, I think. I can not be sure about this, as it was not even mentioned in the episode I saw last week.
Let us all put the Gilmore Girls behind us. Until next week, of course, where I predict the show will be forced upon me again.
On to better shows, my only ever viewing of House, M.D. was good. Television curmudgeons are lovable. Wow, I spelled “curmudgeons” right on the first try.
House is a very grumpy, smart, and grumpy. Did I say grumpy twice? He is really grumpy. He thinks he is better than everyone else, which is true from what I can tell. He also has a higher voice than I thought he would. I was expecting Tom Waits to come out of his mouth, but instead I got Jerry Lewis. Odd.
Having only seen one episode of this show, I can not say this with any certainty. That has never stopped me from saying anything before. House, M.D. seems like a one trick pony. It would appear that every episode is the same. Stop me if I am wrong.
1. Someone comes down with a mysterious illness
2. The doctors think they have solved the problem
3. The patient gets worse
4. House figures out the answer
5. The patient gets worse
6. House figures out the real answer
7. The End
Sound about right? It would be fantastic if every episode did not follow that formula, and it very well may not. If it does, boring!
All of that being said, I enjoyed my time with House, M.D.
