House Season 4, Episode 10 – When Will We See It?

When we last left Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), the acerbic, charismatic doctor on Fox’s highly-rated television show of the same name, he had finally decided on the candidates for the three positions on his staff.  After several reality-show inspired tricks like rose ceremonies and immunity challenges, House picked Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn), Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson), and Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) to continue as his team, along with Foreman (Omar Epps), who has rejoined the staff out of desperation and Cuddy’s (Lisa Edelstein) insistence.  That’s where Episode 9 of Season 4 of House left us.  But when will we be seeing Episode 10?

While the official Fox website gives no details on the date of the next episode, the word is that it will air on January 29.  This is consistent with the message at the end of last week’s episode, stating that all-new episodes would “return in January.”

So what is a House-addict to do with an empty Tuesday night?  What could possibly replace the thrill of hearing House make a hilarious politically-incorrect jab at a patient or co-worker? 

One way to get your shot of adrenaline is to rent an elite sports car from businesses like Chicago Exotic Car Rentals, Precious Metals, Inc. in the Savannah – Hilton Head, Georgia area, or DFW Elite Auto Rental in the Dallas – Fort Worth area. 

Another option is a dream tour like those offered by DFW Drive Your Dream.  Participants in a dream tour get to drive several amazing cars in a single day.  If the writer’s strike continues and we’re without episodes for a length of time, a great option would be joining an elite auto club like DFW Elite Car Club.  These clubs give members the chance to share a garage of amazing cars with like-minded enthusiasts.

While you’re waiting for House to return in January, here are some House-isms from the official House website:

• “Clinic’s been quarantined. Patient came in complaining of avian flu like symptoms. And fifty extra dollars in spending money.”
• “Minus five for ingratitude. No ‘Thank you, Doctor,’ ‘Here’s a bottle of codeine for your troubles, Doctor.’”
• “I noticed a trend: if no one does anything, sick people often get sicker.”
• “I became a doctor because of the movie Patch Adams.”
• “Because she’s got way more diagnostic experience than the other swimsuit models I was considering.”
• “If you want fair, you picked the wrong job, and the wrong profession. And the wrong species. Treat this patient just like he’s just another really, really, ugly kid.”
• “Someone’s gonna be miserable sometime. Accept it. That’s how I stay so happy.”
• “Don’t think of it as digging up a body; think of it as keeping another one from getting buried.”
• “So we have a new symptom to explain; why does his throat think his lungs are his stomach?”
