Surfed across Dr House, season 1, episode 1 and gave it a burl.
Soon became hooked.
The dialogue was dense as shit. Must've taken them an age to write each episode. Never saw any of these early ones. 2005? Wasn't this the most popular show on earth at one stage? Although seem to recall it became a bit of a laughing stock towards the end there?
"Haha, it's Lupus. Again."
"Let me guess... is it Lupus?"
Plus the last few seasons seemed to be a big emotional cry about the patients whereas season 1 seemed to have more of the Doc House and his team team nutting out the problem with Doc House being a cunt to everyone. Wouldve been fun to write.
"Acute Bumcrack Syndrome?"
"I'll be the judge of that."
"Haha, very funny."
"Terminal anal myopathia?"
"The symptoms fit"
"Start him on 125 cc's of man spooge stat!"
Even in season 1 it didn't take long for the episodes procedural format to reveal itself though.
Min 0-4: Patient presents.
Mins 5-15: docs yak about medical shit
Min 16-24: docs give medicine to patient
Min 25: docs think they've fixed it
Min 30: patient has a spewing epi on the bed.
Min 32-50: docs back to square 1 and trying more medical shit as patient "runs out of time"
Min 51-55: Doc House is on clinic duty with some other patient when the patient says some trigger word. Doc House stops what he's doing and goes dreamy eyed and abruptly hobbles out of the room
Min 56: Doc House administers life saving treatment to patient.
