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

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.
And do you have the whole series? If not, ha ha! Eat your heart out!
It’s never lupus. ;o)
Yep. Me, too.
It'd figure a show I actually like would be cut. Glad to see satire...
Typhus? Malaria? Yellow fever? Lupus? Is it lupus?!
I have the whole series. Heart uneaten.
I like the bi-sexual chick....
Dork! I fell for that for a minute! I love that show.. Tee hee good one!
Zero is not that muscular.
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.
Do you have the Christmas special? [smirks]
Yep.
I really admire the acting talent of Hugh Laurie. Its so refreshing for me to see him as a sarcastic American, rather than the usual roles he plays. I just wish Stephen Fry would join the House cast. Fry & Laurie were such a great team.
ROTFLOL at your graphic!
I’m going to have to send this one to my daughter.
It’s her favorite show!
I’d love to see her reaction to the news.
Yes...I can be a little stinker. ;o)
Ha! Ha! Ha!
That House En Espanol (Nunca es lupus) is BRILLIANT!!
I have emailed that pic to all my Spanish speaking friends....
Did you create it?
I only steal the best.
I knew that. ;o)
No, I only stole it. :-)
Grrr... Bean! Do you have Bean? Rowan Atkinson Live? A Bit of Fry and Laurie? If you do, I’m afraid that we’re cousins. Zo, do you hef relatiffs liwing in Messachusetts?
Most of your objections seem to be that the actors are liberals. If that is a problem for you, you mustn’t see much television.
oh my god, this thread scared the crap outta me at first!
