Here's something for all the House fans who were also fans of Due South.
I've been seeing the name David Shore in the credits of House. He's the creator and a writer/producer. Anyway, I thought the name looked familiar. Then I was watching one of the old episodes of House and I picked up a couple of lines of dialogue that I knew I had heard in Due South. It was something like, "When the Inuit go fishing, they don't look for the fish. They look for the blue heron." Or something like that. But I remembered that as a Benton Fraser line from Due South, but House was saying it--which seemed a bit odd since he wasn't one to spout Inuit stories.
Anyway, I finally figured out that the David Shore who is the creator and driving force behind House is the same Canadian writer/producer who worked on Due South.
Two excellent shows, with very funny and quirky central characters. I'm figuring now that Shore must have had a lot to do with shaping both of them.
By the way, I did manage to catch Hugh Laurie in Black Adder last Wednesday. Two episodes. I thought the show was amusing. I'll probably try to catch it again tonight. But if I had only seen Blackadder and had never seen House, I wouldn't have been nearly as impressed with Laurie. He displays so much more range in House--which is natural since in the earlier role he was a member of a comedy ensemble. It's also a tribute to his abilities that he can play two characters that are so different and do them both so well.
