Well, call me crazy, but given a few things it’s no wonder my friends started calling me House, too. Just to give you a tiny impression of what I’ve got, here are a few photos:

"Still life with balls"

Yes, it’s that oversized tennis ball, the “Magic 8 Ball” and one of the pill bottles (Yes, you can get that one, too!!!) Meanwhile I also own the red coffee mug. And I also got the most obvious – a few of the canes. I don’t have all of them, just the ones I liked best.

Death's Head, "The Citizen" (nicknamed by Hugh Laurie), the fancy one and "Little, little Greg"

But of course I also own the fan fav. Who could ever forget the famous flame cane? So here it is:

My Flame Cane - the only cane that's hot and cool at the same time

And if I wanted to (and I usually do so) I get dressed the House Style, because I also own a couple of the t-shirts seen on the show and I also got the cool biker jacket. Sooooo, anyone else here who’s as crazy as I am about the show???

Hi friends! First let me wish you all merry House-Mas and a happy New Year. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to write much, but I’ve been very busy in the last weeks. Some of you may know what it is like to attend med school… I’ve already had some House moments there and some co-students took note, wondering why I know so much. If you want, I can share a few stories, so let me know while I still have the time to write. Got a few days off for the holidays, so here’s your chance The picture accompanying this post is another example of my artwork, created specially for the occasion. I hope you like it.

However, I can’t wait for season 7 to continue. I’ve enjoyed all the eps so far and I hunger for new ones. My most fav ep was the very first one, but I also loved the one in which House had to take care for Cuddy’s kid.

Wishing you all the best and I’ll try to write more. See you around!

Greg

I’m sure our favorite show did have one or the other impact on your personal life. Sometimes there are special stories, sometimes there are none.

However, I think my own story is one of those that can be considered special. I’ve mentioned part of what happened in some of my comments, but I decided to expand on it a bit more. As this is quite personal I’m hoping it will act as an inspiration to all of you and show you what can happen if you believe in yourself. I myself think of it as proving the inofficial House-theme song “You can’t always get what you want” wrong…

Well, here’s what happened to me: Back in 2008 I started to ask myself if House’ fav “differential diagnosis” really does work that way. Out of curiosity I bought a few medical textbooks and started to read. What can I say, I was intrigued Some time later a friend of mine who knew about my interest asked me, if I could look at the strange symptoms of his then girlfriend. I started working on it, but then decided, a team might be helpful. So I looked for an online forum. I found one and posted the problem there. I got no answers, but I think I figured out what was up on my own. I then read other problems other users posted and I was hooked. I still remember my true first case there. A young woman had been to various doctors for over 6 months – no one was able to find out what was wrong. Until she posted her problem! I solved it in a week and a special hospital later confirmed my diagnosis.

Because I’ve become a frequent writer there and the forum’s reputation went up, I wrote a lot of posts at work. Well, my superiors and my company didn’t like me doing private things at work, so I lost my job. This happened last year… And then there was this woman I helped. We became friends and she suggested I should try to go to med school. Other people I met in the forum and became friends with suggested the same. They have all the reason to do so, because I’m the forum’s very own House (Yep, they do call me that!). I had nothing to lose, so I did apply for med school and now I’m a student!

I don’t know, but I think being a doctor has always been a dream of mine. I never followed it until House came along. Then there was the forum, me losing my job last year and my friends who talked me into pursuing that dream. They all say I’m very talented and one of them even said to me: “Why do you wanna go to med school? You already do know it all …” This friend was so happy for me that her gift to me for me being able to live my dream now was a stethoscope! And hey, if Hugh’s dad could attend med school being 40 years of age, I can do it, too, though I’m a bit younger

This, in short, is what House has done for me. What impact did the show have on your life?

If House had a Coat of Arms... (by Greg)

As most of you know, I’ve submitted some of my artwork a few months ago. Now I’ve come up with something special.

 I thought, what if House had a coat of arms of his own? So I tried to recall what I’ve learned about heraldry back when I did some research on this topic out of private interest.
I came up with a possible design very quickly, but had no time to create the actual image. Today I finally found some time to do so. That’s why I’m proud to present you my version of a coat of arms for House.
When I checked what all the elements meant, I discovered my choice to be a perfect match. Here’s what it all means, based on heraldic lore:

The color blue (“azure”, as it is called in the lingo) stands for truth and loyalty. Gold (“or” in heraldic lingo) means generosity and elevation of the mind.
That jagged line of division between the shield’s colors means water, but I’m sure here we can include all bodily fluids as well.
The snake on the helmet is a symbol of wisdom, while the designs on the shield itself have the following meaning: the caduceus (ok, I took the liberty and used the “Snakes on a Cane” logo to better fit House) stands for medicine, balance and the union of opposing forces; while the book is a symbol of manifestiation.
And finally we have the motto “Mea fides in cura”. It’s Latin and the translation reads “I trust in healing”.

I think it’s a very fitting coat of arms for House and in a way, it could also be my own   I hope you like it and am anxiously awaiting your comments.

If you’ve been a regular visitor to this blog, or the House blog I wrote before this one, you are probably already familiar with Greg. His name actually is Greg, which he shares with our favorite grumpy TV doctor, Greg House.

He’s not at all shy about sharing his enthusiasm and thoughts about the show with us all in the comments of many of the posts here. So, what was I to do but ask him if he would like to help write for this blog?

He’ll be sharing his House thoughts with us, along with his impressions of the episodes as they air. I personally can’t wait to read what he will write for us.

I won’t be leaving, there will just be two of us contributing to this blog now. Please join me in welcoming Greg as the newest blogger on TV House Watch.

Welcome aboard, Greg!

With everyone else creating their “best of”, “worst of” and “most memorable” lists of 2009, I thought we House fans could take a different approach. We all know we love the show. And we all know we love the actors who star in the show. So let’s get down to the real knitty-gritty about things so far in season 6, shall we?

There have been some very fun and some downright crazy plot twists so far this season and I’ve enjoyed every one so far. But I think it would be fun to find out what each of you was the most surprised about so far. What do you think?

It’s the end of the year and it’s the time when everyone starts to name their favorites, most memorable and least favorite things of the year. Here’s a 2009 list that ranks House among the Favorite TV Shows of the year. It’s TV Guide’s picks and I think it’s pretty impressive that House is on the list! What more can I say? I agree.

• Bones
• Supernatural
• Smallville
• Chuck
• NCIS
• Castle
• Lost
• Glee
• House
• Defying Gravity
• Lie to Me
• The Vampire Diaries
• True Blood
• Sons of Anarchy
• Friday Night Lights

Here’s how their site characterizes the show:

“House is the smartest, wittiest show on TV, with the best writing and a great cast.” — CharlesWeber
