Great show tonight, I really think this might have been one of the better shows, I am so glad that I starting tuning back into house again, because it really is a great show.

Fox renews 'House', 'Bones'

Fox is showing some early love for "House" and "Bones," picking up both for next season.

News is no surprise for "House," which will enter its fourth season this fall. Show, which launched to tepid numbers, eventually burst into a mega-Nielsen performer and now is one of Fox's top-rated tentpole dramas.

"Bones," meanwhile, hasn't yet turned into a blockbuster but has seen its fortunes improve at the net, turning into a decent player for Fox. Show marks its third season this fall.

Season to date, "House" has averaged a strong 7.1 rating/18 share in adults 18-49, as well as 17.4 million viewers. It's Fox's top-rated scripted skein, and No. 3 among all webs with adults 18-49.

Show stars Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House, an acerbic but brilliant infectious disease specialist. Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Robert Sean Leonard and Lisa Edelstein also star.

David Shore created and exec produces "House," which earned him an Emmy for writing in a drama in 2005. Katie Jacobs, Paul Attanasio, Bryan Singer and Dan Sackheim also exec produce "House," which comes from NBC Universal TV Studio.

As for "Bones," the drama has averaged a 3.1 rating/8 share in adults 18-49 season to date, as well as 8.8 million viewers.

Show stars Emily Deschanel as Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist who assists in murder investigations. She's frequently teamed with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (played by David Boreanaz).

"Bones" also stars Michaela Conlin, Eric Millegan, T.J. Thyne and Jonathan Adams; 20th Century Fox TV is behind the show exec produced by Barry Josephson, Stephen Nathan and Hart Hanson.

That's great news I love this show and it seems to get better each season.It's doing very well in The Netherlands it gets more viewers then "Desperate Housewifes","24" and "Prison Break" for example and it hardly gets any attention in the press so I guess quality sells itself

It does get better and better! Esp now with all the Huddy tension. Jealous!House rocks all.

I've gone off Huddy but I'm realistic enough to know Hilson will never happen

I'll never go off Huddy. I need the snark and the intense UST from that ship.

I think I'm alone in not liking Wilson.

I still like Cuddy I just don't like the idea of Huddy anymore.I've recently had my own "House Marathon" meaning I watched every episode and after seeing all that again I'm convinced Wilson is the right person for House.I can understand that you don't like Wilson offcourse I don't know your reasons for not liking him but I do know you're not the only one

One of the doctors might be sick and might have been seeing a brain cancer specialist.

Great Hilson scenes in the last episode I guess the writers are starting to realise that House and Wilson are the best couple on the show.I hope Foreman isn't leaving he's the best Duckling.

Hugh Laurie not in the 'House'

Actor leaves Los Angeles for U.K.

By JOSEF ADALIAN

Hugh Laurie should be on the set of "House" today --but he won't be.

With little advanced notice, Laurie left Los Angeles for the U.K. Thursday night. That immediately started buzz that something was going on -- perhaps Laurie was unhappy?

"Hugh had family obligations in England to attend to, but production is continuing in his absence," a rep for show producer Universal Media Studios said, adding that, per producers, Laurie "asked for time off and they were happy to facilitate it."

But, as one industry insider noted Thursday, it's not often that a star of a hit show -- who's in virtually every scene of every episode -- decides to just leave in the middle of production. Adding to Thursday's mystery is that producers of the show were oddly tight-lipped, instantly referring media inquiries to publicists.

In addition, Laurie's rep, Brandt Joel, just left CAA for Endeavor. As of late Thursday, however, a CAA rep said that Laurie remained a client of the tenpercentery.

Laurie's publicist said there's no reason to spin conspiracy theories about Laurie's absence. She flatly rejected the notion that there's anything going beyond Laurie needing to take of family business.

"He'll be back on the set on Monday," she said.

I still want house with stacey. I really don't like him with cuddy or wilson because they just let house walk all over them, they need to get a backbone. I guess wilson is alright though as a friend.

How funny, cause part of the reason I want Cuddy with House is because she's the one person who doesn't let House walk all over her. She's pretended to several times, but in the end she does her job (to do what's best for the hospital), and she gets even with him. They have a unique relationship, they're House and Cuddy, they're not wine and roses.

How funny, cause part of the reason I want Cuddy with House is because she's the one person who doesn't let House walk all over her.

Stacey didn't let house walk over her, I want stacey to comeback. An foreman doesn't let house walk over him either. There have been several episodes where house has put cuddy on blast and all she does is stand there speechless, I remember one episode particularly (forgot which episode) where he pretty much blasted her real good and thats what made me think that cuddy along with wilson let house walk all over them.

Back to the last episode before the holidays, I really wanted house to hire cutthroat bitch, I was dissappointed that he hired that guy that always was messing up, other than him I liked his other two choices.

I really enjoyed the final episode last year and can't wait to see how they begin this season.

Hugh Laurie must hate House

Talking of pathetic, miserable pessimists, House returned this week. Much as I enjoy Hugh Laurie’s gothic creation, I must say I am surprised he has managed to last this long. It’s not merely the number of times he’s been shot, had incurable diseases, taken overdoses and been in multiple pile-ups, it’s his narrow range of dramatic possibilities. He really has only one answer to everything. The programmes are somnambulistically repetitive, and the ever more improbable medical conditions add up to coin-tossers.

In this new season, the personal drama has grown more intense and unpleasant and strangely homoerotic, and the set is even less like a real hospital — there don’t appear to be any other patients or staff, just the intractable conundrum of conditions kept in a glass cage. It has a whiff of Frankenstein and fascism about it, with its medical experiments conducted on expendable donors, and it’s lost its sense of humour. Laurie seems to be not just angry and miserable as House, but angry and miserable being House. His vile temper is aimed at the baroque plots and nonsensical script. He’s just pissed off having to be on set. All the sexual tension has been frittered away into wary posturing. In the end, flirting has to make a move or find something else to do.

Part of the pleasure of House is noting that, without his American accent, Laurie is a type of Englishman you find in all the professions. There are doctors, lawyers, publishers, academics and journalists who are all at home in House. I’ve rarely worked for an editor who didn’t make him look like Mr Pickwick; only in America, where good manners and all-round niceness are the default setting, does he seem like a character of twisted psychopathic invention. My diagnosis is that House has something terminal and could jump the shark any episode. Of course, the shark will be suffering from delusions, have beriberi and will probably be incubating its own unborn twin. So enjoy the suffering while it lasts.
