Just like on TV

So I'm sitting around watching House tonight ( in this episode a
woman's skin is falling off). What bothers me is that there was a
commercial for the news tonight. They are going to have a story about
whether the show House is like reality or is just a tv show. They are
interviewing area doctors and asking them. Spoiler alert: the show is
nothing like reality.

Let's see. On the show all doctors are attractive. The boss of the
whole hospital is in her 40s. They only have one case a week. Their
first idea is always wrong, but they always figure it out in the end.
The young hot female doctors have a thing for the old grumpy guy. It
is never lupus. House can break every rule and is never fired. Any
many other reasons. So I would say it is nothing like reality.

I think the local news could do a series of stories to see what tv
shows are like reality. The could interview FBI and government
agencies to see if 24 is real. They could interview real plane crash
survivors to see if Lost is real. Interview medical interns to see if
Scrubs is real. Interview lawyers to see if Boston Legal is real.
Interview private eyes to see if Monk is real. Interview people with
super powers to see if Heroes and Smallville are real. Interview
scitzoprenic scientists to see if Fringe is real.

The only shows this might work for are The Wire ( frightenly real) and
The Office (comically real).

Just once I want it to be lupus.
