Two Stories

House is in his perfect environment. With people with the same mental age as him (ok probably a bit older then him)...

Nice PF reference. In case everyone noticed the nods to Toronto in 3 or 4 episodes, it is because UofT Reference has the largest collection of Sherlock Holmes.... stuff

This episode has to be the most annoying, and proof that the show peaked a couple seasons back. this episode (and the 5 previous are a clear decline) The 'actor' kids are really bad, which ruins the entire episode also the teacher and the 'other parents' are pretty bad. a total miss in my opinion.

I missed this one when it first aired. I recently did a binge of the later seasons and enjoyed this one a lot. The writing is very clever and the acting by the children was excellent. (And yes, the girl played by Haley Pullos is wise beyond her years, but I think that worked to advance the story.

This has got to be THE best and funniest episode of "House" ever--I just re-watched the episode for maybe the 9th time, lol.

With multiple and intersecting storylines going on (that are woven together most excellently), we get to watch how some people--from kids in school thru to House himself--deal with the relationships in their lives, including, of course, their love interests. The regular hospital bits are there too, but the focus is on school. I'm not sure what grade the kids are in, (maybe 6th?) but the principal's office and playground scenes are hilarious; the characters/actors are very true-to-life, and this episode left me totally reminiscent of my own days gone by.

Whoever wrote the episode is one most awesome writer--clever, inventive, and pretty much brilliant. I hope they won awards and/or were recognized and compensated for their genius! (And no, I'm not some friend of the writer, I don't even know their name, but I'm going to find out after I submit this because I'd like to check out whatever else they've written.)

Need I say I highly recommend a watch, at least one time!?
