So, if you recall, a couple of weeks ago we lost a Houseguest. The show with too many cast members finally got rid of one. So pop quiz, hotshot: you’re a House exec. What do you do next? Bring one back, of course. Well, duh. I know the economy is rough and there are a [...]

OK, so has everyone recovered from last week’s downer yet? Ready to get back to normal, like Cuddy after that baby incident? Fox’s website has already taken off its black armband, so maybe we can move on with our lives too. Let’s find out how the docs are dealing, hmm? Oops, I lied. First let’s [...]

Let’s just get this out of the way first: I was totally caught off guard by this episode of House. No spoilers were out there. Not even the typical “This week, Someone Dies! Really! We Swear! SO UNEXPECTED!” It’s not even sweeps! It took guts to pull that off. Now Kal Penn is dead and [...]

Howdy y’all! I swear Fox has been toying with us the last few weeks. House is on, then off, then on again. On means Silly Metaphors and House Bingo. Off means I get to sleep, but my dreams are dark and depressing visions of House being canceled and me getting put on Rock of Love [...]

Just going by the episode title (“Here Kitty”), this week of House has potential. Whose kitty? Does it smell bad? Barf up hairballs? Scratch and bite if you rub it a certain way? SO NAUGHTY! We could speculate for at least a paragraph, but that’s just what FOX is expecting us to do, and besides, [...]

Let me set the scene for y’all: Dim lights. The soft clink of silver and china. The back of a bunch of books, featuring a pic of the tweedy author. A fancy banquet-hall dinner. The author himself, even tweedier in person, about to attempt a speech.    What my hair looked like in high school. He [...]

We’re in a room with late-afternoon sort of sunlight, which is probably the director’s way of saying this is a flashback. Closeup of a doctor talking to a pair of new parents, saying ominous things like “genetic mosaicism”, “ambiguous genitalia” and “normal life”. It seems their baby was born not just with both sets of [...]

First off, what’s up with those new Fox promos? You know the ones I mean: “SO MYSTERIOUS!” “SO PROVOCATIVE!” “SO MEATY!” OK, that last one’s from The Soup, but anyway. Fox is tacky enough already without giving every show the GoDaddy treatment. (Speaking of which, if any two things do NOT belong together, it’s domain [...]

OK, Houseaholics. I’m going to be up front with y’all. February is National Stomach Bug Month, and I’m celebrating with a tall glass of Pepto, trying to take notes while lying very very still on the couch under a heat pad. So I can kinda sympathize with this week’s POW. Is that anything like method [...]

OK, I’m all business this week, kids. Straight to the prologue we go, to a classroom where children are making crafts out of pipe cleaners. At first it looks like a preschool class, but here’s a boy who’s about 20. OK, maybe not quite, but definitely too old to be making things out of pipe [...]

Hey House peeps! We’re back from winter break with a new episode of House! My fingers (not to mention my ears) are still sore from recapping last week’s American Idol. Maybe House has a cure for me. Anyway, this recap should have come out at least a day sooner, but I totally missed that House [...]

****As is TVgasm tradition, a different recapper will be taking each day of American Idol until we get to the performance rounds. Please welcome Copyhacker! What up Idol fans? House is on hiatus until next week, and I hate having nothing to do, so you get to sit through me recapping two hours of AI [...]

So our episode description promises “Foreman and Thirteen’s relationship progresses”. Who knew? That’s right, I did. For like a month now. Also that “Cuddy receives an unexpected gift”. Hmm, given that the episode title is “Joy to the World”, I’m guessing she gets the baby back for at least one episode. The baby’s name was [...]

So after last week’s high-octane action, what’s in store for our dysfunctional doc this week? Are we finally gonna get some Huddy? Will Foreman find a miracle cure for 13? Why do I keep asking all these questions? Let’s just watch and see. A fitness trainer is shooting a commercial on stadium steps while her [...]

Hey guys, is it next week already? I just woke up from a turkey coma, so I apologize for the severe tardiness of this recap. I got gravy all over the first draft, then it got tossed out with the Christmas decoration wrapping paper and I had to start all over. Excuses excuses, I know. [...]

This week on House: independence, metaphors and parallel plots, oh my. Which doctor is going to have an identity crisis, and does House like Cuddy more than he hates humanity in general? Better yet, will we see the return of Lucas? Follow the Jersey Turnpike, we’re off to see the Wizard of Princeton. I could [...]

I don’t know about you guys, but it’s been a long 2 weeks with no House. It seems the country had better things to last Tuesday night. Not that an election night recap, especially if you were watching Fox, wouldn’t have been interesting. I was watching NBC myself, but by the 15th time they showed [...]

This week on House: an insomniac man, a white-trash pregnant woman, and a sassy teenager. Hey, if you haven’t seen it in the movies already, it’s new to you. So what are we waiting for? A middle-aged guy argues with his teenage daughter while making coffee in 4 different coffeemakers. They stare at each other [...]

This week on House: tricks, treats, 13, lots of needles, a spider, a hooker–and oh yeah, B1 H0TT13Z D01N 1T 4U !!! Looks like Halloween and Christmas are both coming to Princeton early this year. Ho ho ho, off we go! 13 is getting some action. I could give you details, but there are plenty [...]

My friends, I’m running way late this week, so let’s just skip the opening banter. It’s not like this is a presidential debate or something. An American woman of Chinese descent is in China, walking through a Buddhist place of worship with her interpreter. She’s looking for her birth parents. When she introduces herself, they [...]

This week of House is brought to you by Episode Formula #4: Doctor Sees Self in Patient. You may remember that we got the same formula in the premiere, to less than stellar results. Does it work this week? Read on! Playing the Patient: Breckin Meyer, who I really like. Playing the Doctor: Louie. Finally [...]

Let’s get right to it, huh? I thought last week was sort of an average episode, the typical “name that disease” formula. This show can certainly do better. Maybe this week? We open on two women playing tennis. The sweat and hair are flying but I don’t hear any squealing or grunting. I thought that [...]

***Note from the Editor: Gasmii, you did us right by rocking the vote in this Fall’s Auditiongasm! Please give it up for your newest recapper, Copyhacker!!! Welcome to season 5 of CSI:ER House! Before we get rolling, I’d like to note that I’m no relation to the late great copygodd, whose House recaps of seasons [...]
