That's why every episode starts with someone going into convulsions and falling over unconscious: it's the only way to get them in. Then that great spooky theme song kicks in with the quick flash image of House staring down at them through the microscope, and I know it's time for another hour of biting, hilarious, incredibly non-PC dialogue. That and "24" are the only things left on broadcast TV that I actually look forward to anymore. I tried watching "C.I.C." twice ("House" was on hiatus), but it struck me as less politically partisan than just braindead idiotic.
