A tribute to, quite simply, one of the best television programs ever made. Now in it's final season, "House M.D." has been uniformly brilliant from it's (Bryan Singer directed) opening episode to, what I'm sure will be, it's grandstand finale.
Hugh Laurie (hired by producers ignorant of the fact that he was English) towers in the central role of Dr. Gregory House. Remaining steadfastly unchanged throughout the eight season run he plays a combination of Scrooge/Sherlock Holmes and Groucho Marx in a completely convincing medical procedural drama. If, in later series, the "Soap" factor became more prevalent then it's Laurie's performance that rescued it.
To everything there is a conclusion, here's hoping House's is a fitting send off for a T.V. legend.
Excelsior out!
