Thankfully, the pool of American Idol minnows has thinned out enough that they no longer commandeer the 9 PM slot, and the adventures of everybody's favorite Vicodin-addicted, hyper-insulting, misanthropic, crippled pathologist have resumed. House was back in full effect with an episode featuring a guy with vaginosis in his mouth, self-catheterization, laugh-a-minute sexual politics, and a nifty is-it-or-is-it-not-a-dream sequence.
I can't help of thinking of Bertie Wooster when I see Hugh Laurie and think of how here is an actor with exceptional range. In one of Bertie's musings he claimed to prefer to think of his insides as similar to that of a potato, a white homogenous mass. He found the actual structure rather vulgar. Bertie was of course unflinchingly polite as well, drawing an even starker distinction. The way he keeps his Brit in check is worth watching in its own right.
The Jeeves and Wooster series is out on DVD and well worth it.
