Hey! They're not the same! The genius writers for House made him addicted to painkillers! So he's really Dr. Cox...only less funny and a junkie.

My gal started watching House a few months ago. I watched a few episodes before telling her, "If I want to watch Dr. Cox, I'll just watch Scrubs. McGinley's a better actor..." But, hey, Hugh Laurie was in an episode of The Young Ones, so he's got that going for him, I guess.
Does anyone even watch House? I mean, besides my girlfriend?
