You should try "House" on Fox. Hugh Laurie is great, and last week's episode, where Dr. House was forced to teach a diagnosits class to medical students, was one of the best-written and performed hours of TV I've ever seen in my life. I'm really happy I taped it to watch later, because I won't erase it now.

Also, unlike all the other shows people are complaining about, "House" works in all kinds of wonderfully cynical slams against PC idiocy. One of my favorites was when a patient was asked his "medical" history, and he listed all these New Age quack practitioners. House's diagnosis was a list of all the possible things that might have caused his problem, such as "an infection from the acupuncturist leaving his needles lying around in the 'eye of newt' all night."

"diagnosits" = diagnostics.

Diagnosis: typing too fast.

I'll give it a look. I loved Hugh Laurie on "Black Adder". I had no idea he was Dr. House but then I never paid attention to the ads.

My wife made me watch "Gilmore Girls" last year, now I'm watching the series reruns on ABC Family so I can get up to speed with "the early years" of the show. It a pretty "libby" type of a show but the dialog is smart and funny.

Agree that House is the best thing on TV nowadays. Actually, I think we watch more programs on Fox than we do on the "big three" networks combined.

To be honest, we don't watch a whole lot of TV anyway, but American Idol and House are more than we watch on the other networks most of the time.

Cable channels (History, Biography, A&E...) get much more airplay in our house, but we still don't have the TV on all the time.
