Best New Network Series in Years

I don't usually watch a lot of TV (I'm too lazy to push the buttons on the remote), but last night I saw perhaps the best network show I've seen in a long, long time: House, M.D. It's that new doctor show starring Hugh Laurie. Incredible (for TV) writing, and astonishingly good acting (for any medium) by Laurie, of whom I was already a fan, but never realized just how good he is. The only downside is that it follows the medical show trens a little too closely in "treating" the audience to discomfitting medical procedures to demonstrate its "edgyness."

Tom Shales has a great review of the show here.

(SoAM: I think this may be your new favorite show.)
