'"Once a week the writers bring to the set a packet of strange medical mysteries that are compiled by their research assistant. To me, each one is more amazing than the next, but they've seen so many incredible mysteries at this point that they're like, 'Oh yeah, this is sort of like the other one where she had the hairball in her stomach, and that's kind of like the one who got decapitated, but it turns out it was epilepsy and it came from moldy bread.'

    "the best these shows could offer is four to six new episodes for drama series" and
    "Fox has the least reason to be concerned about strike fallout. That's because it has dominated the ratings during the walkout — as it will probably continue to — with 'American Idol' and its new reality success 'The Moment of Truth.' It will try to get a few more episodes of its drama 'House' as well as its comedies...."

    December 1, 2007: We have been receiving questions about the Writer's Strike and how that affects "House". Of course, at the moment no new episodes are being created since there are no more finished scripts. Before the strike went into effect, they finished 12 episodes, of which nine have already shown. The others are being saved. Where things go from there is dependent on when the strike ends and new scripts are finished.
    David Shore said on November 27 that they might save the additional episodes that are finished now until sweeps.

Then saying that "Prison Break" has alienated many of its fans and dropped in the ratings, it goes on, "The different directions of the two shows demonstrate some of the difficulties that television producers face as a successful series begins to age. When is it necessary to shake up an established hit enough to create buzz and attract new fans? And is it possible to do so without alienating those who have made a series a success in the first place?"
    October 21, 2007: This has Ended.

    March 23, 2007: Rolling Stone has two articles about Hugh Laurie including one which tells us:
    "Laurie... also weighs in on music the show features. '[Hugh] is my secret weapon,' House executive producer and musical supervisor Katie Jacobs tells us, adding that she often asks Laurie to help select songs the show might potentially use. He's even brought lesser-known artists to her attention: because of Laurie, Jacobs used the Jon Cleary track 'Got to Be More Careful' in an episode during the first season.
    "...(Zero 7, Damien Rice, Snow Patrol, Gorillaz and Donovan are just some of the artists whose tracks have been the backdrop for episodes of House). However, according to Jacobs, House's soundtrack has a sound and personality of its own ‹ one that reflects the personality of the title character. 'House [the character] has many sides: he is dark and brooding, he's funny, sexy, he's an adult. There are so many ways to go with the music for the show. We do what feels right,' says Jacobs.
    "...Jacobs says Laurie had no hand in arranging the stellar Dave Matthews spot or an upcoming guest appearance by All-American Reject Tyson Ritter. But she says he was thrilled about acting opposite the artists. (Matthews played a piano prodigy with a mental disability on the March 6th episode of House; Ritter will play himself in the April 3rd episode, which will feature a scene in which he's being photographed for the cover of a certain popular music magazine — ahem.)"
    Rolling Stone also has a profile Laurie. in which he answers the question,
    Reporter: "If House is such a misanthrope, why does he sacrifice so much to save his patients?"
    Laurie: "The show's creator, David Shore, has been quite candid about his debt to Sherlock Holmes, and Holmes cared very little for people. The one thing that could rouse him from his languor was the puzzle, the solving of the problem and it's the same with House."
    March 18, 2007: "marykir" posted on Television Without Pity's House Forum that there is a "Note on the Fox House page: New episodes return March 27th at a special time -- 9:07/8:07c. It will run a full hour, but make sure to set your VCRs or DVRs accordingly!"

    February 3, 2007: Fox answers the question: "Why are there so many preemptions for HOUSE at this time of year every year?" and their answer includes this information: "HOUSE will air a few episodes (1/30/07, 2/6/07, 2/13/07), then be off for a few weeks and then back on again (3/6/07), then off again.

    Aug 4, 2006: TV Guide's Ask Matt column:
    Question: How could Fox move House to Tuesdays at 8 pm/ET? It is so established at 9, yet once again, Fox feels the need to alienate some more viewers. Do you think ratings will drop? The ratings for the repeats show the 9 pm airing gets considerably more viewers than the 8 pm one. Obviously Fox dooesn't have much confidence in Standoff if it feels the need to make House a lead-in. Will House go back to 9 pm once Idol starts again? — Alana
    Matt Roush: Actually, House will go back to its regular time period (9 pm/ET) when it returns from the postseason baseball hiatus on Oct. 31. Fox will air House an hour earlier only for the first month of new episodes, starting Sept. 5. I wrote a Dispatch bitching about this very thing, and I agree it's an unnecessary, confusing aggravation. I doubt it will harm House that much, though. (I can't think of a bigger waste of time than looking at summer repeat ratings, but they do show that House scores better later at night because more people are inside watching TV at that point.) Fans are going to follow this show just about anywhere, and as you noted, Fox is only doing this to give a lead-in boost to one of its more problematic new dramas. Honestly, the last thing we need in the fall is for the networks to make finding our shows any more difficult.
    Aug 1, 2006: "marykir" posted on Television Without Pity's House Forum: Hugh Laurie's episode of Iinside The Actor's Studio will rerun on "Sat Aug 5 12:00P on Bravo and Fri Aug 25 07:00P on Bravo"

    July 17, 2006 (2nd): "amysusanne" posted on Television Without Pity's House Forum news from The Hollywood Reporter about the September schedule on Fox:
    "Fox's new drama 'Standoff' will follow the network's top scripted show, 'House,' when the new series debuts Sept. 5.
    For the first four weeks of its run, before Fox's Tuesday lineup goes on hiatus to make room for postseason baseball coverage, 'Standoff' will swap time slots with 'House,' airing at 9 p.m. instead of the previously announced 8 p.m. berth."
