It's Thursday! That means sneak peek day!
Here's the three new sneak peaks of House Episode 7.02 "Unwritten", which will air this coming Monday.
House is my absolute favorite TV show, and I'm so glad that season 7 is finally here. Most of the people I know don't watch House (lame reality TV junkies), and I find myself wanting to talk about House constantly, so I'm going to do it here and hope there's people to listen. I also have been posting lots of photos and videos, so take a look at those!

"Massage Therapy"
Here's the synopsis for House Episode 7.04 "Massage Therapy". Sorry, no synopsis for 7.05 "Unplanned Parenthood" yet.
Massage Therapy
A patient is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro suffering from uncontrollable vomiting. In the process of treating her, House and the team make some unexpected discoveries about her identity and are forced to look at her medical history in order to learn the truth about her past. Meanwhile, House gives a less than friendly welcome to Chase's new hire and a visit from House's massage therapist causes trouble between House and Cuddy.

House 7.02 "Selfish" Review
I went to write this review right after watching last night's episode, but then decided maybe it was better to let it sink in a little more. Although, I'm not sure that I feel any differently than I did last night.
I liked "Selfish" for the most part. It was amusing how House told everyone about Cuddy and him in the first 30 seconds of the episode (after telling Cuddy he wouldn't), but I usually find secrets in TV shows to be more entertaining...but they seem to have gone a different direction. I did notice that House's act of blurting it out to the team had to have been premeditated, since he invited Wilson into the room (I'm assuming telling Wilson that he need his help on the case, which is why he was holding the folder, but really House just wanted to tell everyone together).
I liked the scene in Wilson's office where House is trying to convince Wilson that's he's not lying. It was a twist on that scene that always seems to happen in romantic comedies (that never happens in real life), where everyone's like "Prove you're in love! Let's see a kiss!" and then they're not happy with a peck, so they have to make out in front of them. Like that ever happens in real life. That would be so awkward. Well, that's basically what Wilson is asking...but Cuddy takes it in a different direction. Quite entertaining.
Throughout the episode, I was getting mad at House everytime he was being super submissive and obedient to Cuddy, I kept wanting him to just yell, which we find out is what the whole episode is leading up to. I was pretty surprised that House was doing that at all, I mean really the benefit of being in a relationship with your boss is that you don't have to do that. Let me explain with a anecdote about myself... I have two jobs. With one job, I'm uncomfortable with my boss, and I usually act pretty fake at work, I suck up and always do what I'm told. I, like everyone, get frustrated at work, and would very much like to yell at my boss sometimes, but I don't do that, because that could result in me getting fired. So, I bottle it up, and then vent to other people.
On the other end of the spectrum, at my other job my boyfriend is my boss. The great thing about this is that I'm not afraid to let him know how I feel about things. We fight a lot about work things, but it works. We don't keep anything bottled up. I think we get a lot more done this way. If everyone was always honest at work, we all would always have big fights with our bosses, but we really can't do that, unless we're comfortable enough with them.
So, my point is, that I was hoping this was the resolution the episode would come to, and was very glad when it did. I was just surprised that that House and Cuddy were tiptoeing around each other in the first place, because I myself have never done that.
I liked how the episode went full circle ending with House and Cuddy at the elevator, like the first scene, but I thought it felt slightly inconclusive with the family. I mean, I guess I can assume that since that's where the episode ended, that the girl gets her brother's lung, and she's good, but it seemed to be lacking in resolution a little to me. It was also pretty sad, most House episodes have a happy ending with the patient, and this really wasn't one of those. But that's fine, they shouldn't all be the same. Most House episodes follow the exact same formula, so it's nice to see one that breaks that formula, even if it's only slightly.
I'm pretty anxious for next week. It's the House/Cuddy Wilson/Sam double date I've been anxiously awaiting ever since I saw promo photos forever ago, so I'm pretty excited.
Please leave comments with your thoughts on the episode, I would love to hear them.

I Love Mondays.
House Day!!
Here's a few extra promos to get you psyched for tonight's episode: "Selfish"
Sorry the first one is terrible quality.
Thanks 1800housesauce.
This second one is a HQ one from Fox, but it's got Lone Star crap filling up the second half of the promo time. Lone Star sucked last week, I hope it gets cancelled quickly.
Thanks MaryKir.

Here's the titles and synopses for the upcoming episodes:
7.2 Selfish: 9/27/10
When Della (Alyson Stoner), a seemingly healthy and active 14-year-old, suddenly collapses during a skateboarding exhibition, House and his team struggle to diagnose her condition and reassure her parents who already have to cope with their son's terminal illness. After her body rejects a donor lung, and with time running out to save her life, Della's family is left with little hope of securing a new donor and faced with a seemingly impossible decision regarding the fate of both children. Meanwhile, House tries to appease an elderly father and his son at the clinic, as he and Cuddy begin facing the challenges of taking their romantic relationship into the workplace.
7.3 Unwritten 10/4/10
When Alice (Amy Irving), the author of a popular children's book series, inexplicably suffers from a seizure moments before an attempt to take her own life, the Princeton-Plainsboro team faces the challenges of evaluating both her underlying medical conditions, as well as her unstable psychological state. Unable to diagnose Alice, House becomes particularly motivated, as he's a fan of her books, and is convinced that the key to unlocking the mysteries of Alice's condition lies in the pages of her most recent novel. Meanwhile, House takes Cuddy on a double date with Wilson and his girlfriend, Sam (guest star Cynthia Watros), and makes a discovery that proves that life imitates art as the couple continues to make compromises in order to make their relationship work.

New House Promo: Selfish
Here's a new promo for Monday's House. It's got a few new clips the others haven't, so it's worth a watch.

"Selfish" Sneak Peeks!! Three of them!
Here's some awesome sneak peeks for Monday's House: "Selfish"
I've noticed through my incessant promo watching that just because it's in a promo, doesn't mean it's in the episode. I remember in an early promo for season 7, it started with a shot of Cuddy's scrubs and House's jacket on the floor of House's apartment, which was not in season premiere. I also noticed that in the promos, when House says the title line "Now what?" the camera angle was from the side, but in the actual episode, it was directly above. Also, in the promo for "Selfish" House says "I'm seeing Cuddy" in a wideshot, whereas, as you'll see in this sneak peek, it's a totally different shot. Also, in the promo he said "Generally without any clothes on", and now in this sneak peek, he says "Generally without her clothes on." So, apparently promos are not taken from the actual episodes, but rather from the cutting room floor and they are apparently able to use other takes of the same scene. I think though, we can trust that these sneak peeks are of the scenes as they will appear in the actual episode when it airs on Monday.

Australian Promo for House 7.02 Selfish
Here's the Australian promo for 7.02 Selfish, which will be on Monday (in the US, Wed in Australia). It's much shorter than the Fox promo, but it has some new scenes in it I haven't seen before.
I apologize to any Australians reading this, but the voiceovers with the Aussie accents make me laugh.

Goodbye Cameron
I thought I've been keeping up with all the House information, but I hadn't read until yesterday what's going on with Jennifer Morrison/Cameron. In case you haven't heard, the producers have said it's very unlikely that Cameron will be back at all because of Jennifer Morrison's new role on How I Met Your Mother, which ironically is on at the exact same time as House...interesting.
How I Met Your Mother is actually another favorite show of mine, generally on Mondays I watch House live, and then DVR HIMYM and watch it as soon as House is over. But it seems as though my two Monday shows are now combining. Interesting how HIMYM is now influencing House plots. Katie Jacobs said that while they do have the option to bring back Cameron for a few episodes this season, it is unlikely that they will because she's busy with her new show.
If you are into HIMYM, Jennifer will be playing a major love interest of Ted's starting 4 episodes from now, which according to the producers, is a "major turning point in the show", so she may possibly be playing the mother we've been waiting 5 seasons to meet. She's supposed to be a regular character in the show for at least most of the season. If you've watched the show, you may be noticing a recurring theme here: that Ted's long term relationships on the show seem to be with doctors from other TV shows. His last girlfriend was Stella, played by Sarah Chalke, AKA Dr. Elliot Reid from Scrubs...and now Jennifer Morrison, AKA Dr. Allison Cameron from House. Hmm...

Is Thirteen Coming Back, You Ask?
So, I was looking at the various search queries that lead people to my blog, and a ton of people have been searching for info on Thirteen, and when and if Olivia Wilde will be back. So, the answer is: yes, she will be back, I think in about 10 episodes is what I've read. So, expect her back probably in December.
She's just leaving temporarily to film Cowboys and Aliens, which I just read takes place in Arizona, but it's being filmed in New Mexico. As a native Arizonan, I hate when they do this. Arizona has a very distinct look, and no other state looks like it. Any movie that takes place in AZ but isn't filmed on location is riddled with fake Saguaros, which look nothing like real Saguaros (they make me cringe!) But anyway....back to House.
Here's a sort of goodbye video from Olivia Wilde on the set of House promising that she'll be back. A weird thing is that I always feel like I know Olivia Wilde because she looks almost exactly like one of my close friends. So, I watch this and feel like I know her.

My Review of the House Season 7 Premiere, plus a summary if you really want to know all the details (MAJOR Spoiler Alert!)
So, I think I probably ought to give my review of last night's season premiere. So, if your one of those who lives in another country and has yet to see the premiere, this is a spoiler warning. Since it's already premiered, I'm not going to hold back any details. So, if you don't want to know things, skip this post.
So, I have mixed feelings about last night's episode. The side of me that is Huddy crazy loved it, and the side of me that fell in love with the show House in the first place was kind of dissapointed. The episode was definitely not very House-y.
I loved that they really spent time on House and Cuddy, but I wish the medical mystery of the episode actually meant something. It was just an unexciting unimportant subplot that I didn't really care about. It seemed like it was only thrown in there to give the team some sort of role in the episode. However, I did think that it was really cool that for once the team solved something on their own without House at all, since most of the time they rely on him. So, that was great for them, and I am glad that Thirteen was there for one last episode before she leaves for half the season. (Which I sad about, she's one of my favorite characters. I miss her already).
So, I would say that Huddy fans probably loved the episode, but I am a Huddy fan, and I don't think I would say that. I mean, I loved certain parts of it, and would watch scenes over again (and already have), but as a whole, it wasn't really a great episode. When it ended, it was kind of like "That's it?" It left me feeling like it was missing something, and I felt like nothing happened. I looked at the clock at 7:50, and was like "There's only 10 minutes left? But like nothing has happened!" I don't want to feel that way at the end of a House episode. But then again, hours later when I was trying to sleep, all I could think about was some great scenes that I wanted to watch again.
If you have thoughts on the episode, please leave me a comment, I would love to hear other people's opinions.
So, if you want to know what happened in the episode, here's a summary. If you don't want to know, skip this part:
The episode starts off with a recap of the season 6 finale, ending with the last shot of House and Cuddy holding hands. Then the episode starts with them still holding hands, not more than a few minutes later, but now they're in the bedroom. Cuddy says she needs to rebandage House's wound or it'll get infected, she takes off his shirt, and this basically leads to sex. It actually shows a lot less of the sex than I thought it was going to, and it cuts to afterwards, where House asks "Now what?" Cut to the new opening sequence that actually has the current cast's names in it.
After the opening, it goes right back to House and Cuddy. Cuddy says she needs to get to work, then her new assistant calls her to say that their neurosurgeon is sick and puking in the OR. But, House answers her phone, saying he's the nanny, and that Cuddy is sick in the bathroom, and tells the assistant what to do on her behalf. Cuddy decides that maybe she doesn't need to rush off to work after all...
Cuddy tells House that the sick neurosurgeon is a huge issue because if they don't have a neurosurgeon on site, they are not qualified as a Level 1 Trauma Center. (Seems like they would have more than one neurosurgeon then, but whatever, I guess we're supposed to suspend our disbelief.) To try to keep Cuddy from going to work (I think), House calls Chase and tells him to pretend to be a neurosurgeon (which doesn't work, apparently the assistant has looked into Chase and already knows that he's not). So, the team's next step is to try and heal the sick neurosurgeon (which becomes their case and the mystery of the episode...just not a very interesting one).
Back to House and Cuddy...House makes some sorry attempts at being romantic. It's pretty much a train wreck. Kind of like a car crash you can't look away from. He draws Cuddy a bath (which I'm pretty sure he poured mouthwash into) makes her breakfast (which I don't even know what the hell that was, apparently House does not keep his fridge well stocked), and tries to open champagne with a saber (which shatters and champagne goes all over the place.)
Meanwhile, Wilson is worried about House and has been trying to call him. House hasn't been answering, so Wilson shows up at the door, but House ignores it saying he'll go away. Then Wilson calls him while at the door, and knows that he's there because he can hear his phone ringing through the door. House answers pretending to be his answering machine (a pretty funny little scene). House thinks Wilson is gone, and he and Cuddy have sex again. Afterwards, Cuddy is annoyed that House wouldn't just let Wilson in, thinking that House is trying to hide her from him. She doesn't want their relationship to be a secret.
Then Wilson breaks in...sort of. He's apparently not very experienced at the art of breaking and entering. House finds him stuck in the kitchen window. This is probably the best scene of the episode. There's a funny little moment when House is helping Wilson in. House says that he has been busy "having sex with his girlfriend" (which I thought was interesting he's already using that word) and Wilson asks "Since when did you start referring to hookers as girlfriends?"
House says that Cuddy's there and Wilson doesn't believe him for one second, and just assumes that he's on vicodin again and is hallucinating (again). House leads Wilson to the bedroom, but she's suddenly not there. So, to Wilson, it seems as though House is hallucinating Cuddy again. Wilson examines House, but sees no signs of him being on drugs (since he's not), and House says that he was lying, not hallucinating. Wilson leaves, and House finds Cuddy hiding in the closet, where she went realizing she might be pressuring House into telling people about their relationship.
Meanwhile, the team is trying to figure out what is making Dr. Richardson (the neurosurgeon) sick. They give him some sort of drug that makes him high out of his mind, and not in any shape to perform surgery, as he keeps stripping... This whole time they are also talking about how Thirteen has asked for some time off (which House actually doesn't know about yet, but the whole team does). Foreman spies on her, figures out that she is going to Rome for a Huntington's trial (well, that's what he's lead to believe she's doing). Chase asks Thirteen if she'll have sex with him before she leaves (which was pretty weird and out of the blue), she basically says no.
House and Cuddy play Boggle (I think it was Boggle), and during the game, Cuddy reveals she is concerned that House has not said "I love you", even though she has said it twice. House is resistant (I don't think he really likes to be pressured into things), but spells out "IloBeyou" with the game blocks. Cuddy says he gets one point for "lobe". The next time it cuts back to them, they're naked in bed (remember the screen shot where House is wearing only a laptop?), so one can assume they had sex again. House is looking up a vacation to France, insisting they should leave right away, but Cuddy says that that is ridiculous, she has a baby for goodness sake (by the way, I assume Rachel is with the nanny this whole time, but what, is this a live in nanny?) She says that they can go in a few weeks, so that she has time to make arrangements for the baby.
Back to the team at the hospital. An inspector (or whoever he is) has come because Cuddy's lame-ass assistant reported that they do not have a neurosurgeon at the hospital. They try to act like Dr Richardson is fine and prepping for surgery, but he's still high out of his mind, and freaks out and strips off his clothes right in front of the inspector. The guy says that because of this, their patients are going to have to be transferred to other hospitals, and people coming into the ER will be redirected. Eventually, the team figures out what was wrong with Richardson (whatever it was, I barely cared), and they cure him, he's back to normal, and the hospital is saved. The case was so uninteresting that I don't remember it ended up being, but I was proud of the team for doing something without House to guide them.
Back to House and Cuddy. Cuddy goes to leave, and House stops her saying "This isn't going to work." To keep up some sense of suspense, it then cuts to commercial. It comes back, and House explains that he thinks she seems to think he must have changed because of what he said to the girl before amputating her leg in the last episode, but that he hasn't changed, and that he's never going to. He says that he's done horrible things to Cuddy in the past and will do horrible things again in the future, and that their relationship can't possibly work.
In response, Cuddy says "I don't want you to change." She says that he's "the most incredible man she's ever known, and will always be the most incredible man she's ever known." Super cheesy, but sweet. She goes to leave, and House stops her and says "I love you." (Which, I figured out at the beginning, that this episode was going to be leading up to this moment.)
Back to the hospital, the team got a cake for Thirteen (which says Happy Bar Mitzvah), but apparently she's not coming to her own going away "party". Foreman found out that she's not going to Rome after all, after he called the hospital there and they hadn't heard of her. He tried calling her, but her phone was disconnected. So, the big question is, where is Thirteen? Where is she actually going? We don't know yet.
Back at House's apt, Cuddy is actually leaving, she says "It's going to be great," and leaves with them both smiling. But, after the door is closed, their smiles fade into concerned looks, as I think is fitting. I think we're all concerned.
There you have it. A much more thorough summary than what I ever intended to write. It was nice for the Huddy fan, but I think I was primarily disappointed because of last years season premiere, which I like to refer to as "House: The Movie." Season 6's two hour premiere was so significant and monumental, that I guess I was expecting this year's to live up to that, but it unfortunately fell short. Oh well, there's always next week.
So, I have mixed feelings about last night's episode. The side of me that is Huddy crazy loved it, and the side of me that fell in love with the show House in the first place was kind of dissapointed. The episode was definitely not very House-y.
I loved that they really spent time on House and Cuddy, but I wish the medical mystery of the episode actually meant something.

I mean, I loved certain parts of it, and would watch scenes over again (and already have), but as a whole, it wasn't really a great episode. When it ended, it was kind of like "That's it?" It left me feeling like it was missing something, and I felt like nothing happened. I looked at the clock at 7:50, and was like "There's only 10 minutes left? But like nothing has happened!" I don't want to feel that way at the end of a House episode. But then again, hours later when I was trying to sleep, all I could think about was some great scenes that I wanted to watch again.

Then the episode starts with them still holding hands, not more than a few minutes later, but now they're in the bedroom. Cuddy says she needs to rebandage House's wound or it'll get infected, she takes off his shirt, and this basically leads to sex. It actually shows a lot less of the sex than I thought it was going to, and it cuts to afterwards, where House asks "Now what?" Cut to the new opening sequence that actually has the current cast's names in it.
After the opening, it goes right back to House and Cuddy. Cuddy says she needs to get to work, then her new assistant calls her to say that their neurosurgeon is sick and puking in the OR. But, House answers her phone, saying he's the nanny, and that Cuddy is sick in the bathroom, and tells the assistant what to do on her behalf. Cuddy decides that maybe she doesn't need to rush off to work after all...
Cuddy tells House that the sick neurosurgeon is a huge issue because if they don't have a neurosurgeon on site, they are not qualified as a Level 1 Trauma Center. (Seems like they would have more than one neurosurgeon then, but whatever, I guess we're supposed to suspend our disbelief.) To try to keep Cuddy from going to work (I think), House calls Chase and tells him to pretend to be a neurosurgeon (which doesn't work, apparently the assistant has looked into Chase and already knows that he's not). So, the team's next step is to try and heal the sick neurosurgeon (which becomes their case and the mystery of the episode...just not a very interesting one).
Back to House and Cuddy...House makes some sorry attempts at being romantic. It's pretty much a train wreck. Kind of like a car crash you can't look away from. He draws Cuddy a bath (which I'm pretty sure he poured mouthwash into) makes her breakfast (which I don't even know what the hell that was, apparently House does not keep his fridge well stocked), and tries to open champagne with a saber (which shatters and champagne goes all over the place.)
Meanwhile, Wilson is worried about House and has been trying to call him. House hasn't been answering, so Wilson shows up at the door, but House ignores it saying he'll go away. Then Wilson calls him while at the door, and knows that he's there because he can hear his phone ringing through the door. House answers pretending to be his answering machine (a pretty funny little scene). House thinks Wilson is gone, and he and Cuddy have sex again. Afterwards, Cuddy is annoyed that House wouldn't just let Wilson in, thinking that House is trying to hide her from him. She doesn't want their relationship to be a secret.
Then Wilson breaks in...sort of. He's apparently not very experienced at the art of breaking and entering. House finds him stuck in the kitchen window. This is probably the best scene of the episode. There's a funny little moment when House is helping Wilson in. House says that he has been busy "having sex with his girlfriend" (which I thought was interesting he's already using that word) and Wilson asks "Since when did you start referring to hookers as girlfriends?"
House says that Cuddy's there and Wilson doesn't believe him for one second, and just assumes that he's on vicodin again and is hallucinating (again). House leads Wilson to the bedroom, but she's suddenly not there. So, to Wilson, it seems as though House is hallucinating Cuddy again. Wilson examines House, but sees no signs of him being on drugs (since he's not), and House says that he was lying, not hallucinating. Wilson leaves, and House finds Cuddy hiding in the closet, where she went realizing she might be pressuring House into telling people about their relationship.
Meanwhile, the team is trying to figure out what is making Dr. Richardson (the neurosurgeon) sick. They give him some sort of drug that makes him high out of his mind, and not in any shape to perform surgery, as he keeps stripping... This whole time they are also talking about how Thirteen has asked for some time off (which House actually doesn't know about yet, but the whole team does). Foreman spies on her, figures out that she is going to Rome for a Huntington's trial (well, that's what he's lead to believe she's doing). Chase asks Thirteen if she'll have sex with him before she leaves (which was pretty weird and out of the blue), she basically says no.
House and Cuddy play Boggle (I think it was Boggle), and during the game, Cuddy reveals she is concerned that House has not said "I love you", even though she has said it twice. House is resistant (I don't think he really likes to be pressured into things), but spells out "IloBeyou" with the game blocks. Cuddy says he gets one point for "lobe". The next time it cuts back to them, they're naked in bed (remember the screen shot where House is wearing only a laptop?), so one can assume they had sex again. House is looking up a vacation to France, insisting they should leave right away, but Cuddy says that that is ridiculous, she has a baby for goodness sake (by the way, I assume Rachel is with the nanny this whole time, but what, is this a live in nanny?) She says that they can go in a few weeks, so that she has time to make arrangements for the baby.
Back to the team at the hospital. An inspector (or whoever he is) has come because Cuddy's lame-ass assistant reported that they do not have a neurosurgeon at the hospital. They try to act like Dr Richardson is fine and prepping for surgery, but he's still high out of his mind, and freaks out and strips off his clothes right in front of the inspector. The guy says that because of this, their patients are going to have to be transferred to other hospitals, and people coming into the ER will be redirected. Eventually, the team figures out what was wrong with Richardson (whatever it was, I barely cared), and they cure him, he's back to normal, and the hospital is saved. The case was so uninteresting that I don't remember it ended up being, but I was proud of the team for doing something without House to guide them.
Back to House and Cuddy. Cuddy goes to leave, and House stops her saying "This isn't going to work." To keep up some sense of suspense, it then cuts to commercial. It comes back, and House explains that he thinks she seems to think he must have changed because of what he said to the girl before amputating her leg in the last episode, but that he hasn't changed, and that he's never going to. He says that he's done horrible things to Cuddy in the past and will do horrible things again in the future, and that their relationship can't possibly work.
In response, Cuddy says "I don't want you to change." She says that he's "the most incredible man she's ever known, and will always be the most incredible man she's ever known." Super cheesy, but sweet. She goes to leave, and House stops her and says "I love you." (Which, I figured out at the beginning, that this episode was going to be leading up to this moment.)
Back to the hospital, the team got a cake for Thirteen (which says Happy Bar Mitzvah), but apparently she's not coming to her own going away "party". Foreman found out that she's not going to Rome after all, after he called the hospital there and they hadn't heard of her. He tried calling her, but her phone was disconnected. So, the big question is, where is Thirteen? Where is she actually going? We don't know yet.
Back at House's apt, Cuddy is actually leaving, she says "It's going to be great," and leaves with them both smiling. But, after the door is closed, their smiles fade into concerned looks, as I think is fitting. I think we're all concerned.
There you have it. A much more thorough summary than what I ever intended to write. It was nice for the Huddy fan, but I think I was primarily disappointed because of last years season premiere, which I like to refer to as "House: The Movie." Season 6's two hour premiere was so significant and monumental, that I guess I was expecting this year's to live up to that, but it unfortunately fell short. Oh well, there's always next week.

O Happy Day!
Happy House Day, everyone! Unfortunately, I live on the west coast, so I still have 4 hours and 39 minutes to go.
To gear myself up for House today, I watched my favorite episodes on DVD last night: No Reason (season 2 finale), then I felt the need to watch the Season 3 premiere after that, then I watched the other two favorites: House's Head and Wilson's Heart (Finale of season 4). So, what are your favorites? (I would love some comments!)
Watching several episodes of House last night, plus the fact that I'm very excited for tonight, led to a series of bizarre dreams about House last night. This time it was the ones where it's real life and I'm in the world of House. There was one in particular that has stuck in my mind where House and Taub had switched bodies. Not that they actually switched bodies, but it was that House looked like Peter Jacobson and Taub looked like Hugh Laurie. It was pretty bizarre. Has anyone else every dreamed about House, or am I the only crazy one here?
So, there's lots of things I could post right now, but I'm not going to. The new stuff I've found are reviews from people who have already seen the episode...several of which describe every thing that happens in the episode, completely ruining it. I read a few things I really wish I hadn't. So, I'm choosing not to post them until after tonight's episode, because you can wait a few more hours. If you've watched all the promos, you've seen enough, you don't need a scene by scene breakdown of the episode when it's going to be on shortly and you can enjoy it then.
I would like to post this video, that's sort of interviews with the cast mixed with clips from promos. I've already seen most of it before in separate bits and pieces, but this video with it all together was just released.

Happy House Eve, everyone!
It's House eve and here's some new promos to watch. Not too too exciting. The first one actually just came on my TV as I'm typing this, so it's real! It was on during the Simpsons, which I am actually only watching right now for House promos. But, it's already been put online anyway. The one on my TV had a regular Fox House title screen at the end, rather than the local station's ending that is in this one posted online.
The second one is a weird-ass football game promo where the game announcer is reciting the voice over for the promo. It's really bizarre. But, watch them if you're obsessed and have to see all the promos. If you just want to see decent ones, look in my earlier posts. There's over 20 different promos and some sneak peek scenes, just in case you haven't seen them.
Thanks Mshousefan!

Are you ready?
Here to post yet again. Here's a video I found that really got me in the mood for new House. I also saw several Huddy videos...but they were all very cheesy. This one is just fun and very Housey. Thanks, NCISmelanie.
The end is near!
The last day!
Today's the last day of waiting for season 7 of House! Here's some behind the scenes photos:

2 days, 4 hours, 13 minutes and 7 seconds
Just the weekend left! Are you excited? This isn't normal to say, but I want the weekend to go by quickly so that it can be Monday.
I'm wondering if love for the show is an unhealthy obsession (although I know that there are people WAY more obsessed and crazy than I am). But lately, I keep dreaming about House (the show, not the person). Sometimes I'm dreaming that I'm watching House, sometimes I'm in the show as if it's real life, and sometimes it's a TV show but I'm working on the set of the show. The dreams where I'm watching an episode are weird, because it's as if it's a new episode, but it's completely nonsensical. I recently had one that Cuddy was fired from the hospital, and took a job working at a movie theatre...but she wore a lab coat while serving popcorn. Completely realistic, of course.
Anyway, there's no new promos to share, but here's a photo I saw a while ago, but haven't posted until now. All I can think about is how that laptop would be really hot on his lap. I usually have mine on a pillow because it burns if it's on my legs.

Nope, not done yet. Yet another House season 7 promo.
Ahaha, I knew that wasn't going to be the last promo! Here's another one just posted...but it's not really exciting. You've seen it all before if you've watched all the other promos, it's sort of just a shortened version of another one. And it's for a local station. But, I'm going to post it anyway so we can see how many more we can possibly get in the next 3 days.
Everything's Changed
Well, I thought maybe those awesome sneak peeks were going to be the last of the promos, but alas, here's one more. It seems like maybe it's the last one, because it says "the night you've been waiting for is here"...but you never know, they might make 8 more promos over the weekend seeing as how they've gone promo crazy this summer with over 20 different videos.
So, here's the new promo! I think it's number 21 or something like that. And if you haven't caught the other 20, watch them right here on this blog!
It's a short promo, and not a super exciting one, but there is a scene with House and Wilson we haven't seen before.

Some really awesome sneak peeks!!
Hey! I got some really cool videos! They're SNEAK PEEKS of Now What, not promos, but sneak peeks. That means full scenes...and three of them! YEAH! I'm starting to feel like with these and the 20 gajillion promos...that I've already seen the full episode already.
I also would like to mention that when I looked at the public view of my blog just now one of the ads happens to be an ad for House. How extremely appropriate. (I should mention that I have nothing to do with the ads and they change every time the page is opened. Usually they're for something stupid.)

House Season 7 Premiere Review
Here's a review I came across from someone who's already watched the premiere (and the second episode, apparently). It's only mildly spoilery, I think it's safe to read. And if you really don't want to know anything about what happens...then you wouldn't be on the blog anyway.
I’m not spoiling anything for “House” fans by saying that House and Cuddy got together at the end of last season. That’s what we’ve been waiting six years for and spent all summer thinking about.
I’ll discuss it vaguely, so skip this if you don’t want to know ANYTHING. I love the way they came back, I love the way they handled it, I love the character moments it offered for both actors. There, is that too spoiler-y? Oh, can I say it’s hot too? Something that happens in this episode is hot. But I won’t ruin the dirty details, I'll just give you the skinny.
More after the jump...
The opening delivers the drama we want. After the credits, House is back to his witty, irreverent self. House and Cuddy are really good together when they’re on the same team. It shows there’s just as much drama and humor when two people connect as when they butt heads. Things happen throughout the episode that play with our emotions and expectations. It’s sweet in a “House” kind of way that rewards the viewers for keeping up and doesn’t do any of that cheesy stuff.
The rest we’ll have to talk about after you see it yourself. Seriously though, I need someone to talk to about it. So Monday at 9:01 hit me up on Twitter @fredtopel. I can’t keep this in any longer.
There’s hospital business and the team at work. The Thirteen situation develops too. All this brings with it mini-diagnostics. They have to solve administrative problems, and some people involved have medical conditions.
Luckily the studio also sent the second episode so I got a little bit of a sense of how this season will proceed after the emotional powerhouse of a premiere. Of course it’s more of a standard “House” case where something happens before the credits and they spend the rest of the episode solving it. It’s not the first thing they think it is, but House figures it out by applying a personal conversation to the diagnosis.
Those said personal scenes do continue the conflicts set up in of the season premiere. So that’s good. They don’t leave you hanging, they deal with things but they don’t make it overbearing. House is perfect mouthing off to those situations, and he uses it for good riffs in the diagnosis scenes. Cuddy is great, Wilson and the team’s reactions are great. Everyone acts like their well-defined characters would and it hints at human philosophy and ethical issues. It’s no closure. It just opens up more juicy possibilities.
God, I want to talk about this. You guys are gonna love it though. Seven years and they still find cool ways to twist the formula, relevant issues to deal with and humor that has more answers than any “serious” talk.
“House” returns September 20 at 8/7C on Fox.

House Season 7: Less than 6 days away!
It excites me that since it's now less than a week away, I can now skip ahead on the cable guide on my TV, and see that my DVR has already automatically set itself to record the new House. And I can see the mini synopsis, which reads:
Hugh Laurie, Lisa Edelstein. House and Cuddy explore the ramifications of their feelings for each other. TV-14 HD NEW
I like seeing the "New". Of course, I've already read the full synopsis, which I've posted here, but I like seeing it on the TV.
Here's an article from TV Guide I found online and would like to share:

I'm prepared for complications
So, tonight I watched the rerun of the season finale that was on, to prepare myself for the new episode next week. I was watching it mostly because I was thinking that the episode one week before has to have a new promo at the end of it. It did have a promo at the end, but unfortunately it was the one I posted last night, so I've already seen it. :( Still nice to actually see it on TV, though. Makes it feel more real.
If you're reading this, you should vote in the polls over on the right there.
Here's some promo photos from House episode 7.02 Selfish. I saw them a few days ago but didn't post them, because I felt like I would be getting a little ahead of myself, but what the hell, here they are.
Gosh, don't they look happy.
BTW, I love House's shirt, which I'm pretty sure is Shakespeare...even though it doesn't really look exactly like him.

Season 7 promo time again!
Here's another one! It's mostly clips from previous Houses, but they're some quite entertaining Huddy moments. There's one clip at the end we haven't seen before, and I think it might be from episode 7.02: Selfish.

Last Monday Without New House!
I found that my blog is FINALLY searchable on Google. Took long enough.
Anyway, here's an article with some interesting info about season 7, including a few pieces of info I hadn't hear before.
'House' Season 7 Preview: House and Cuddy, Sittin' in a Tree ...
By Kim Potts
Actually, the crab-tacular doctor and his boss are doing more than sittin' in a tree. A lot more than sittin' in a tree ...
Yes, Huddy fans, the relationship you've been hoping for, the one that House (Hugh Laurie) once hallucinated had already happened, will unfold in the show's new season.
In fact, when the seventh season of 'House' premieres on Sept. 20 (8PM ET, Fox), Dr. House and Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) will be in a full-blown relationship, kissing, snuggling, hot bedroom scenes and all.
The Huddy coupling will be the major focus of the new season, but while things are all rosy when we get our first glimpse of the new relationship, the show's producers have cautioned that House will still be House (read: difficult). So happily ever after may not be a reality, and when the realities of coupledom begin creeping into the duo's new life together, even the short term prognosis might be negative.
Series creator David Shore told TV Guide, "We'd done the dance long enough. We had fun dancing around it, we had fun playing with the sexual tension, but it was time to move on and explore the actual relationship. So we're having fun with that."
But, he adds, the relationship "is not sweet. House doesn't suddenly become happy and domesticated. We do it in a very House-like way. He's still that character that people love and Cuddy is still Cuddy. And they're trying to make a go of it as they are."
And Edelstein told TV Guide, "It's pretty bold. But I really trust David in the way he's steered the ship so far. It doesn't have to work, but it has to be done. And I think they really love each other. I just don't know if they're capable of maintaining it."
So, hot bedroom scenes (seriously ... check out that promo) aside, the aforementioned realities of their everyday lives smack Huddy in the face pretty quickly into the season, like when Cuddy asks her new boyfriend to babysit for her three-year-old daughter, Rachel.
House's inability to be all warm and fuzzy with adults carries over to his interactions with kiddies, too.
"House realizes he's taken on a lot by dating a woman with a baby. She trusts him with the child because she knows he's a brilliant doctor and not an evil guy, so he's not going to kill the baby," Edelstein says. "(But) House has a hard time connecting with the baby. He finds the child almost alien."
In other 'House' season 7 storylines:
• The now-single Dr. Chase (Jesse Spencer) will be lovin' the ladies -- lots of them -- when the season begins, but the arrival of a new female doc will change that ..
• And that new doc will be played by 'General Hospital' and 'Joan of Arcadia' alum Amber Tamblyn, who's doing a guest stint to fill in for MIA 'House' star Olivia Wilde (who's off filming the Jon Favreau-directed 'Cowboys & Aliens' with Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell and Walton Goggins). Tamblyn will be playing a bright med student who's hired by House (even though, as a student, she's not supposed to practice medicine yet), and who may end up clashing with him regarding his loose and fast (and often nonexistent) adherence to the rules.
• Wilde's Thirteen, it's been hinted, may get a little somethin'-somethin' going with Chase.
• And there's a big reveal coming about why Thirteen left Princeton-Plainsboro, and how/why she'll come back. 'House' executive producer Katie Jacobs told Fancast.com, "It's linked to narrative. When Thirteen does come back, it's not like she's just going to be sitting in the office doing a diagnosis. There's a real reason why she had to leave ... it's surprising and juicy, and it deepens her character and our understanding of her."
• 'Dirty Dancing' star -- and new 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant -- Jennifer Grey will guest star in an October episode, playing a woman named Abbey, who's faced with an impossible decision regarding her baby daughter's potentially fatal disease.
• 'Camp Rock' star Alyson Stoner guests as a skateboardin' patient in episode two on Sept. 27.
• Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) has his own relationship going -- with his ex, Dr. Sam (Cynthia Watros) -- and while it won't be without its own issues, the fact that he and BFF House have girlfriends at the same time will lead to -- yes! -- a double date.
• House and Cuddy will find out in episode two of the new season just what their co-workers think of their new Huddy status, and, no surprise, not everyone is as thrilled as 'House' fans by the new match.
And, for 'House' fans who want to delve further in the show, with exclusive behind-the-scenes info, It Books has just released 'House, M.D.: The Official Guide to the Hit Medical Drama.'
With a forward penned by Hugh Laurie, the book includes interviews with the cast and behind-the-scenes crew, exclusive photos, a detailed look at how an episode is put together and scoop on the show's intricate medical and ethical plots.

In fact, when the seventh season of 'House' premieres on Sept. 20 (8PM ET, Fox), Dr. House and Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) will be in a full-blown relationship, kissing, snuggling, hot bedroom scenes and all.
The Huddy coupling will be the major focus of the new season, but while things are all rosy when we get our first glimpse of the new relationship, the show's producers have cautioned that House will still be House (read: difficult). So happily ever after may not be a reality, and when the realities of coupledom begin creeping into the duo's new life together, even the short term prognosis might be negative.
Series creator David Shore told TV Guide, "We'd done the dance long enough. We had fun dancing around it, we had fun playing with the sexual tension, but it was time to move on and explore the actual relationship. So we're having fun with that."
But, he adds, the relationship "is not sweet. House doesn't suddenly become happy and domesticated. We do it in a very House-like way. He's still that character that people love and Cuddy is still Cuddy. And they're trying to make a go of it as they are."
And Edelstein told TV Guide, "It's pretty bold. But I really trust David in the way he's steered the ship so far. It doesn't have to work, but it has to be done. And I think they really love each other. I just don't know if they're capable of maintaining it."
So, hot bedroom scenes (seriously ... check out that promo) aside, the aforementioned realities of their everyday lives smack Huddy in the face pretty quickly into the season, like when Cuddy asks her new boyfriend to babysit for her three-year-old daughter, Rachel.
House's inability to be all warm and fuzzy with adults carries over to his interactions with kiddies, too.
"House realizes he's taken on a lot by dating a woman with a baby. She trusts him with the child because she knows he's a brilliant doctor and not an evil guy, so he's not going to kill the baby," Edelstein says. "(But) House has a hard time connecting with the baby. He finds the child almost alien."
In other 'House' season 7 storylines:
• The now-single Dr. Chase (Jesse Spencer) will be lovin' the ladies -- lots of them -- when the season begins, but the arrival of a new female doc will change that ..
• And that new doc will be played by 'General Hospital' and 'Joan of Arcadia' alum Amber Tamblyn, who's doing a guest stint to fill in for MIA 'House' star Olivia Wilde (who's off filming the Jon Favreau-directed 'Cowboys & Aliens' with Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell and Walton Goggins). Tamblyn will be playing a bright med student who's hired by House (even though, as a student, she's not supposed to practice medicine yet), and who may end up clashing with him regarding his loose and fast (and often nonexistent) adherence to the rules.
• Wilde's Thirteen, it's been hinted, may get a little somethin'-somethin' going with Chase.
• And there's a big reveal coming about why Thirteen left Princeton-Plainsboro, and how/why she'll come back. 'House' executive producer Katie Jacobs told Fancast.com, "It's linked to narrative. When Thirteen does come back, it's not like she's just going to be sitting in the office doing a diagnosis. There's a real reason why she had to leave ... it's surprising and juicy, and it deepens her character and our understanding of her."
• 'Dirty Dancing' star -- and new 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant -- Jennifer Grey will guest star in an October episode, playing a woman named Abbey, who's faced with an impossible decision regarding her baby daughter's potentially fatal disease.
• 'Camp Rock' star Alyson Stoner guests as a skateboardin' patient in episode two on Sept. 27.
• Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) has his own relationship going -- with his ex, Dr. Sam (Cynthia Watros) -- and while it won't be without its own issues, the fact that he and BFF House have girlfriends at the same time will lead to -- yes! -- a double date.
• House and Cuddy will find out in episode two of the new season just what their co-workers think of their new Huddy status, and, no surprise, not everyone is as thrilled as 'House' fans by the new match.
And, for 'House' fans who want to delve further in the show, with exclusive behind-the-scenes info, It Books has just released 'House, M.D.: The Official Guide to the Hit Medical Drama.'
With a forward penned by Hugh Laurie, the book includes interviews with the cast and behind-the-scenes crew, exclusive photos, a detailed look at how an episode is put together and scoop on the show's intricate medical and ethical plots.

UNO MAS!
My goal has been to keep the most up to date House info, but I've been a bit MIA for the past few days. Work has been kicking my ass the past week (and this weekend) and I haven't had time for blogging at all.
There's so many promos now, I've decided to stop counting. There's a bunch that are for House+other shows...so do those count in the list? There's also a bunch from foreign sources....so, I just not going to number them anymore.
Here's one that was just released today (Sunday, that is). It's a good one. New scenes. Watch it please! (And all the others I've posted, there's 15+)
And I would like to add: YAY! One week! Now we're in the home stretch!

From someone who's already seen the season premiere...
Here's a few tidbits of info about the season premiere:
Question: Have you seen the House premiere? If so, thoughts? —Robin
Ausiello: Yes, I’ve seen it—it’s the reason this column arrived a little late. If you’re a Huddy fan, you’re going to swoon yourself silly. The Sept. 20 opener features the star-crossed lovers cuddling, bathing, massaging, champagne-toasting, and—of course—kissing. I think I counted a dozen smooches in the first 15 minutes alone. The episode will also answer the burning question, “What does Hugh Laurie look like wearing nothing but a laptop?”
Question: How does House’s team—specifically Chase, Taub, and Foreman—react to House and Cuddy being an item? —Brandon
Ausiello: To quote Dr. Crankenstein in episode 2, one is “in favor,” another is “indignant,” and a third is “indifferent.” Now head to the comments and match the adjective with the character! But first, repeat after me: “Games are fun.”
Question: Should we read anything into the fact that Chase is touching Thirteen’s shoulder in House‘s season 7 key art? (You know, that photo with the whole cast in bed)—Nina
Ausiello: After watching the premiere, I would have to say HELL YES YOU SHOULD.

New Global TV promo...something's better than nothing
Here's another promo from Global TV, so I'm not sure if it really counts, but I guess it's promo #16. It does have some new clips in it.
It's weird, it kinda seems like it's House from an alternative universe. It seems like it a different take of each of the clips or something. For one, I remember in the promo before, House says "Generally without ANY clothes on." And in this one he says "Generally without HER clothes on." And then he's grabbing her ass by the elevator, and she's wearing different clothes than when he grabbed her ass in the last promo....weird. Not to mention the different title screens, which...why are they different? Are the others owned by Fox or something? It's weird.
Anyway, here's the promo, yes, it's a terrible video.

PROMO #15
Promo time!
Another new promo was released today (Monday). It's not a horribly exciting one, because it's just clips we've seen from previous episodes of House, and one clip from the upcoming season premiere, but it's one we've seen in a previous promo. Nonetheless, it's still worth a watch if you're a Huddy fan and want to watch some of their moments together.
So, we're going to call this promo #15. It's possibly #14, because one of them wasn't a Fox promo, but it's definitely not #11 as the person who uploaded the video seems to think it is. If you haven't already, be sure to watch the 14 other promos, all here on this blog.

Selfish
House Season 7 Episode 2 will be entitled "Selfish". Hmm, wonder what that's referring to.
So, so far we have:
7.1 Now What? 9/20/10
7.2 Selfish 9/27/10
No synopsis released yet for 7.2, but I'll post it as soon as there is.
So, since Monday is basically over now, I can say that there's only one more Monday without new House. Isn't that exciting?
Be sure to watch the multitudes of exciting promos, all posted here!
