House Season Three DVDs: An Initial Assessment

[bironic]

Packaging: D – Ugly color scheme, flimsy components, strange photo of Hugh Laurie; difficulty reading text on back fold, difficulty extracting discs without fear of snapping or scratching.

Bloopers: B – Uneven pacing, many clips too short, ineffective music. Still – five minutes' worth! Also, roller-shoes kid falling down = gold.

HL/RSL Bloopers: A+ – (a) There are some, (b) they are lengthy, (c) they are adorable, (d) they are slashy.

Misc. Notes: Jesse Spencer has a cute smile, Lisa Edelstein needs to not laugh so obnoxiously, and Omar Epps seems always to turn into a silly monster when he messes up lines. More HL tomato-squishing is needed. More of RSL's filthy language, too. And mutual giggling. Ya.

That is all.

Yes, that one was fun! And fodder for an extended H/W audio manip if anyone ever does one, along with the masturbation line. I wonder if that fumbling meant that RSL's own coat has an inner pocket right there, or if something else in Wilson's wardrobe does.

My favorite, I think, was the "Robert, for God's sake" and the perfectly timed click in the car.

I'm betting the coat RSL was wearing (and it was a nice coat, by the way) did have an inner pocket there but the costuming guys had sewn it shut so that it would hang more evenly or some other cockamamie reason.

Also loved Lisa Edelstein's little "doctor/actor" explication. And I'll say it again -- if I didn't know Hugh Laurie was a Brit, I'd swear under oath he was 100% American, born and raised.

Same here! When I first started watching the show, I knew I knew him from something, but couldn't for the life of me figure out why. When I looked up his name, I couldn't believe it. Not the guy from Blackadder, all 100% English and a ludicrous comic to boot! said I. Indeed.

... but the costuming guys had sewn it shut so that it would hang more evenly

Ah, logic.
