Title: HOUSE MD is making me paranoid of INVISIBLE THREATS
Post by: MrAngryFace on December 19, 2006, 10:42:31 AM

I just started watching the show and I love it, but all that weird zooming around 3D following microscopic bacteria as it fucks someone up has me paranoid for GERMS and VIRUSES invading my personal space through hilariously improbable means.

Also I want a leg condition so I can have a cane.

I want one because then I have a good excuse to be a complete miserable asshole like House.

"See this? This is Vicodin. You can't have any. Its mine."

House rocks but im only like 7 eps in, already bought season 2 on dvd tho :D.

Also House is slated for syndication in 2008 so that means its signed for at least 5 seasons to meet syndication requirements. I hate buying tv series that die halfway through season 3 so I checked on it haha.

Syndication requires 66 episodes I believe, which is 3 seasons of standard 22 episode show.

I thought it needed 5 seasons? Maybe thats for sitcoms.

Dug this up on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes

Quote

Syndication is often a profitable enterprise, due to the fact that series can run for decades after they stop production. In this way, many shows that do not gain much profit during their first run will still prove to be viable to the network if they can last 100 episodes.
There are many exceptions to the 100 episode rule. Shows of fewer episodes have become syndication successes.

So it looks like House will be one of those exceptions if done earlier. 2008 would put it just past season 3 anyway.

Arrested Development is already in syndication on G4 and it only had 53 episodes, or is that not syndication?

Traditionally, syndication only meant for the Big 3 (4) Networks (and more specifically, their local stations). Each station would have to pay for rights to show the program. That's where the big money comes in if you are a Seinfeld or a Cheers and can get on 100 different deals around the country.

I would think getting a deal with G4, would be significantly less money.

Gotcha. That makes sense.

No wonder Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David each made about $250 million a couple of years ago.

Invisible threats are always the best fear-inducer.


Radiation, AIDS, Global Warming, Y2K bug, Ebola etc etc.
