patience is a virtue
Last night's "House" episode was brilliant as ever. The whole "is House really going to change?" thing was played very subtly, I thought, and that shows great depth for the writers and actors. And Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) gave his best kicked-puppy expression ever.
But I have a question for the Fox network: WHY do you do this to us?
I understand taking the show off for a few weeks around the holidays. But then you bring it back for one episode, only to have it disappear for another three weeks? That's cruel. Sadistic, even. If I didn't know better, I'd say your network was run by one Dr. Gregory House -- except he'd promise us another episode in three weeks and then not deliver for five. (And Fox: Don't even think about it.)
I know "American Idol" is your flagship, and everything else must follow in its wake when it sets sail next week. But "House" is pretty popular, too -- why not just move it to Mondays while "Idol" is on? Or put it on an hour later, at 10 p.m.? I seem to recall it got its start in the after-"Idol" time slot; why not go with what's worked in the past?
