Yeah, that was a bit strange.
Fox held back episodes to fill some weeks before they ran out.

I do have to say that I am quite displeased about the post-super bowl House episode. Just seems like strange timing to me as a person that holds no interest in sports.
The idea is to get the superbowl audience to get hooked on the show. Big ratings after the game means more eyes.

Somehow I just can't see a significant percentage of football fans getting hooked on House after the Super Bowl. Maybe I am just irritated that we all have to wait until the Super Bowl is over, the post-game is over, etc. before House comes on.:mad:

most of the serious sports fans would have turned it to espn and nfl network by the time house comes on, so good luck getting that crowd. and many people use that as their drive home time from parties. i think this type of tatic works best for late afternoon events, when people aren't shutting down the party for the night.
 
No. No no no no nonononononono.

NO.

I'm a rock climber. I'm up on a wall for hours every week. You know what I don't need to see? I don't need to see someone falling 30 feet because a belayer's hands stopped working!

Well nobody ever said Network Execs were smart .... but then maybe the Network Execs think the average football fan isn't smart enough or sober to change the channel after the game! :eek:

Who knows? :D
 
Reviving an old thread..

I just wanted to say how AWESOME last episode is (House's Head). Everything just build up to the crash, which by far is one of the most riveting and engaging 10 mins in any television episode I have ever seen. Why can't all tv series be as good as that...

I'm just dying to discuss this with someone
 
I agree, the bus crash scene was maybe one of the best things ever filmed. I also love Cutty's strip tease.
