Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy may be banned in Italy
Filed under: Industry, ER, House, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Reality-Free  I used to be a huge ER fan. Back in the good ol' Dr. Doug Ross days, I wouldn't miss an episode. It was the first medical drama that I had ever really watched, and I paid attention to it like I was watching an educational video in med school.
This came in handy several years back when I was on a flight to Scotland. It was a long flight and I was trying to sleep when I heard a commotion. A middle-aged man a few rows...

Sneak preview of the new season of House - VIDEOS
Filed under: House, Video, Reality-Free  I've always been a fan of House, but last season's two-part finale, "House's Head" and "Wilson's Heart," are two of the best episodes that the series has ever done. So after such a stellar ending, I'm completely psyched for this season. I've been dying all summer to find out how 13's diagnosis is affecting her, what the fallout is from Amber's death, and most importantly, are we ever going to see Cameron and Chase again, except in passing?
The fifth season premiere airs on September 16, and we've included a couple of videos after the jump....

More about that House spinoff
Filed under: Programming, House, Reality-Free Back in May -- remember that far back -- Isabelle wrote about the fact that David Shore, creator of House, was contemplating a new show. It was a spinoff of House, but not a medical show. It was going to be in the private eye genre.
Newark Star-Ledger columnist Alan Sepinwall (with Dan Feinberg) did an interview with David recently and found out some more information about the spinoff.
"We brought in a character, partway through the year, [actor] Michael Weston as this private investigator House goes to. The spinoff would be less...

How did Felicia Day end up in Dr. Horrible?
Filed under: House, Video, Reality-Free, Comic-Con  Raise your hand if you love Penny from Dr. Horrible? Raise your other hand if you're such a Buffy nut that you follow the news about anyone that ever appeared on the show? I would raise both my hands, but I have to type this entry. If either of those apply to you, you'll want to get a gander at the video after the jump.
Our friends over at Mahalo Daily caught up with Felicia Day at Comic-Con. They talk about her web series, The Guild, which has a new...

How the strike helped House
Filed under: House, WGA Strike, Reality-Free  Even as fear grips the business that there'll be another strike that will lead to a work stoppage, there are some who can look back on the Writer's Strike and actually find a silver lining in that dark cloud. At a recent at the ArcLight Cinemas, sponsored by the L.A. Times, the folks who bring us House, including creator David Shore and director Katie Jacobs, revealed that the strike actually was beneficial for them in a strange way.
Since Fox had the Super Bowl last season, House had been given the plum spot following the game. That always means...

The Excellence in Outsourcing Award: Winner - VIDEO
Filed under: House, Celebrities, TV Squad Awards  Attention, TV Squad readers, my friends and fellow television fans, it's time to announce the winner for The Excellence in Outsourcing Award, that is, the foreign actor who possesses the best American accent. There were many worthy nominees, but the overwhelming winner was House, MD himself, actor Hugh Laurie. That Englishman, one of her majesty's loyal subjects, has been making us all believe that he's just a Jersey boy. As Dr. Gregory House of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, he sounds like he was born in south Jersey, spent his summers in Asbury Park, and is as much a Garden Stater as Bruce...

Did you know that Heroes is a top five show?
Filed under: Industry, Programming, House, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Ratings, Reality-Free  That was one of the many insights that NBC head Jeff Zucker had on Charlie Rose last night.
Charlie wanted to know what the top five shows in the ratings were, and while Zucker mentioned shows like Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, and House, he also included Heroes in that bunch. He named Heroes and four other shows and said "those are the top five." Now, I love Heroes as much as the next person, but I don't really remember it being in the top five that much (if...
