House Rules Monday Night
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009Did you guys watch the House season premiere on Monday night? I know I did, and it looks like about 16.5 million other people did the same. Hugh Laurie (sans the rest of his crew) ruled the first night back for the networks, drowning Heroes and Dancing with the Stars in lower-than-expected numbers. The competition also seemed to impact Jay Leno’s show, which brought in roughly one-third of its week-earlier premiere-night numbers, and posting its lowest ratings so far.
Soooo, what did you guys think of the House premiere? I liked it, I guess, but I wasn’t as excited about it AFTER I watched it as I was before. I felt a lot of the psych-ward situations and dialogue were implausible, and I felt it dragged a bit. Plus, House just isn’t as fun without his team around him. It made me realize how much of an ensemble drama the show really is. It just didn’t work right without the rest of the cast. Luckily, they’ll all be back next week, and I’ll definitely be tuning in again. We’ll see if the rest of the country does the same.
