Dang it, now I gotta start checking the TV listings...
I've been a huge Hugh Laurie fan for years, so House is a double treat for me. (He's in it AND it's a great show, although his accent slays me constantly. He does a great job, it just sounds sooo wrong on him! )
Correct. This week was the season premier of House.
Most of all the mainstream networks' shows start up this week or next week (Lost, House, CSI, Las Vegas, Medium, etc...) While the cable networks' shows are finishing up their seasons (SG-1, Rescue Me), and their next shows are starting up their new season (Nip/Tuck).
