“House” Goes “Survivor”

Add comment November 12th, 2007

No, “House” hasn’t become a reality TV show, though the parallels are unmistakable. After his team essentially implodes last season, the grumpy doctor gathers together a group of medical miscreants to compete for places on his new team. Many of these prospective doctors follow House’s maverick lead, leading to competition for the spotlight which ranges from life-threatening from downright ruthless. Fortunately the contest itself isn’t center stage – House is, and four seasons haven’t dampened the rude and morally-challenged medical practitioner’s skills or sarcasm. Easily one of the most compelling shows on prime-time, “House” still has plenty of thrills left in its medicine bag. “House” airs on Fox Tuesdays at 8:00 P.M.
