BREAKING: FOX Cancels Its Popular HOUSE Show

August, 2009

FOX has annouced that its popular show HOUSE will be canceled and will not have its 2009 season televised as planned.

Due to Obamacare restrictions, delays, rationing and age-to-benefit studies, the show simply can't be done. Writers & producers have concluded that each episode would take 10-20 times longer while necessary medical tests, needed to move the plot/story line, have now become unavailable.

Episodes dealing with elderly patients were scrapped as their stories constantly ended with either pain pill overdoses or euthanasia. Episodes involving unborn children with defects/complications were constantly ending with an abortions. There were also too many scenes where patient-actors had to wait in long lines or were told to come back in a few months for follow up treament (which only exasperated studio production costs).

Leading actor, Hugh Laurie, was most upset that his show was becoming a UK production with all of the bureaucratic pitfalls.

FOX producers tried to save the show with an all new cast of cheap foreign doctors and nurses (H1B visas), but red tape snags and producer squabbles crushed the idea.

As one producer stated, "What the heck were we goning to do every week? Have death counseling sessions, arguments with government officials, and dispensing pain pills? HELLO, can you say boring!!! We're suppose to be fiction, not a reality show!!!"

To date, FOX officials haven't confirmed internet rumors on a possible replacement show dealing with Hugh Laurie's character opening a private clinic in Mexico.

Had me worried there for a moment....

[Carley]

LOL........good one!

[ak267]

sorry for the typs....this was on the spur of the moment :)

[SoftwareEngineer]

Boy! Till I read the “article” to see that you were making a point by writing a spoof, I almost had a heart attack.

I love Dr. House.

Someone please put up that pic of Dr. House where it says “It is NOT Lupus”

[autumnraine]

Funny, but thanks for the heart attack!

[newfreep]

Good one...and not too far fetched to be true!

[Naspino]

House would quit the first time his $12 check from Obamacare came in the mail 4 months late.

[newfreep]

The Simpsons' "House"

[newfreep]

Juan more time...

[Dudoight]

Whoever you are......you’re good!

[newheart]

Hilarious. Thanks for the post. Underneath the humor is real truth. Only in America could the technologies have developed that would enable a doctor like House to do his job. It will be interesting to see how the show handles some of these political issues.

[netmilsmom]

LOL!!!!!

Maybe there should be a series about doctors and patients struggling under socialized medicine.

It would have to be an over-the-top sitcom, a farce. Reality is too extreme for believable drama.

[EmilyGeiger]

Your headline scared me to death! Now I need end of life counseling. Funny bit, thanks.

Aaaack!

That was just *cruel*!

[Mr. Jazzy]

Sorry, but I no longer enjoy the show. The writing has gone down hill since the introduction of the "new" team and the bi-sexual number 13. Much more unnecessary emphasis on homosexuality and perversion. The show was also a BIG promoter of Odumbo, including "Change" stickers and wall paraphernalia seen in the show. The character that killed himself left the series in order to work for Odumbo and the administration and Mr. Laurie himself made happy comments about the election results during his Emmy acceptance speech.

The show used to be good, not interested anymore.

[smokingfrog]

good one

[MayflowerMadam]

What you said...

Not watchable any more.

[Joe 6-pack]

No wonder Hugh Laurie looks pissed...

[bgill]

You are very, very bad!

[bert]

“When in doubt, treat” Dr House

[bitt]

perfect for you!

[seowulf]

I’m going to email this to flag@whitehouse.gov you evil, right-wing reactionary.

[Pharmer]

Damn you!!! You beat me to it! I was just about to post just such a funny!

Free HOUSE MD! Defeat Obamacare!

[Dianna]

You scared me! Bad bad man.

[LongElegantLegs]

[Norman Conquest]

But clearly House is using far more than his permitted ration of painkillers, taking them away from the truly needy and setting a bad example for patriotic Americans.

[A Texan]

The Post aside, I don't particularly like vanities, especially sarcasm ones, that start with “BREAKING”. This could start a bad trend.

[BIGLOOK]

Have a chuckle....ping

It’s never lupus...

[TheOldLady]

“It’s never Lupus.” — House

Hugh Laurie = one of my top favorites since Blackadder along with Rowan Atkinson, who has a wife so beautiful that I was stuned.

[TheOldLady]

Oops, sorry!

[day10]

i love house it is one of the best shows ever i was scared there for a sec until i got the joke lol and btw

ITS NEVER LUPUS

[Darksheare]

Another victim of the typo virus appears!
Long live the typo virus!
MWUh-hah-hah-hah-hah-haaaaaa!
];-)

Just kidding.

[Slings and Arrows]

I’ll confess - while I’m a huge Blackadder fan, I’ve never seen House. I just wanted to use that LOLcat.

[TheOldLady]

And do you have the whole series? If not, ha ha! Eat your heart out!

[autumnraine]

It’s never lupus. ;o)

[Smokin' Joe]

Had me worried there for a moment....

Yep. Me, too.

It'd figure a show I actually like would be cut. Glad to see satire...

[Cagey]

ITS NEVER LUPUS

Typhus? Malaria? Yellow fever? Lupus? Is it lupus?!

[Slings and Arrows]

I have the whole series. Heart uneaten.

[freebilly]

I like the bi-sexual chick....

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

Dork! I fell for that for a minute! I love that show.. Tee hee good one!

[fanfan]

Zero is not that muscular.

[indylindy]

I have a great plotline for them. If Deathcare passes, House could begin an Underground Railroad to save Seasoned citizens from the Obama Nazi’s.

[TheOldLady]

Do you have the Christmas special? [smirks]
