Last night's edition of House was the show's first broadcast on its new Monday 9pm time slot. Beginning next week, House settles into it's week-opening schedule with the first of its all-new, post-strike episodes.
While it's exciting to welcome fresh House installments after all those reruns, the reunion is short-lived and premature. Once we get going with the brand new material next week, we'll have just three more weeks of previously unaired House. Nonetheless, some House is better than no House or plain old House. So, just to whet your appetites for what's to come, here's a glimpse of next week's offering entitled “No More Mr. Nice Guy.”

We're two weeks away from the start of all-new episodes of House. There's no shortage of Hugh Laurie however, as the man who wears the painkiller-addicted, acerbic, self-indulgent Dr. Gregory House on the hit FOX series is currently gracing the big screen via Street Kings.
Laurie stars alongside The Matrix's Keanu Reeves and Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker, in the movie about a cop under investigation by Internal Affairs. Reeves plays the unconventional rebel with a cause cop, Tom Ludlow, Whitaker his captain, Jack Wander, and Laurie, the IAD officer, Capt. James Biggs.

It normally doesn't elicit much confidence when your lead star refuses to pack his things after moving to California from his home in London, especially when he thinks it's nuts to go house-hunting because he thinks the show will only last a month. But that's exactly what Hugh Laurie thought when he first crossed the channel to do House. Well guess what? The rest is, as they say, history. House is coming upon the magical 100th episode and the Laurie household now stands poised to move to the sunny west coast.
Yes, the brilliant British actor who didn't think his House would make it past its first month is now the toast of American television.

What price fame? That's a question often dangled at successful individuals who've either had to make sacrifices or shady choices to get where they are. It's not, however, something the public would necessarily think associated with the British star of FOX's hit medical dramedy, House.
American viewers, as well as many others from various parts of the globe have embraced Hugh Laurie as the irreverent, snide, tactless genius, Dr. Gregory House. Yet, despite the ratings and awards triumphs to back this up, Laurie seems to have also paid a price for doing exceptionally well in the Hollywood scene and the world stage. Ironically, that price seems to have been the loss of place in his native Britain.

Four new episodes of House will greet fans next month, and among these new installments is the two-part special which was originally scheduled to air on Super Bowl Sunday and the following Tuesday. According to show creator David Shore, the episode will now serve as the season's “big” season finale.
To get some scoop on what's in store for House in the fourth season finale, as well as on the other upcoming episodes, read on for some mild spoilers.

House's main doctor is intelligent but often crass and rude to his patients, but show producer Katie Jacobs assures that the only thing English actor Hugh Laurie has in common with his character is his sharp mind and witty humor.
“[Hugh is] a real gentleman, very British,” Jacobs told the audience during a question-and-answer session at the James Stewart '32 last week, adding that the television star never says anything to offend.

Omar Epps, most known for his portrayal of Dr. Eric Foreman on FOX's House, was the recipient of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at this year's ceremony, held on Valentine's Day in Los Angeles, California. This is the actor's second win in the category for the hit medical drama.
Epps, 34, received his first NAACP Image Award nomination for House in 2005, and was again nominated the following year. He finally went home with the award last year, and just two weeks ago beat out such actors as Blair Underwood (Dirty Sexy Money), James Pickens Jr. (Grey's Anatomy), Taye Diggs (Private Practice) and Mekhi Phifer (ER).

`Tis the season to be jolly, and no, not because Christmas has blown back into town. It is however, post-strike time, which means the big networks are announcing return-to-work schedules for their stable of programs. On Tuesday, it was FOX's turn to reveal its after-strike new lineup.
Perhaps the biggest news in Tuesday's announcement from the network is the returning schedule of two of its biggest primetime draws, Bones and House. House is reportedly expected to churn out four new installments while Bones is slated to produce six additional original material. Both series are due back on the air with their respective new episodes in April.
