1x01: Pilot
Just started watching this show after denying its existence for awhile--I was addicted to too many shows already; I didn't need another one. Then I saw half an episode from the fourth season and got myself totally hooked. So now I'm starting from the beginning and writing reviews as I go...
I love Hugh Laurie! Funny, funny, funny guy, and an amazing actor. I think the first thing I saw him in was Sense and Sensibility. He was also wonderful in the Blackadder series with Rowan Atkinson.
I also love Robert Sean Leonard. Even though he was one of the poorer actors in Much Ado About Nothing. He looks all grown up now! And it looks like he's had acting lessons! ;-)
Nice line: "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras." I can't tell you how many times I've heard my instructors say that!
Good first episode. I liked the limp, and the explanation for it. I liked the characters and the casting. I liked the music and the look of the show. A little thin, but I know they find these characters eventually, and I'm betting it's sooner rather than later. Also, it's just the pilot. Of course it feels thin. A third of it had to be straight, unadulterated exposition!
If you like my reviews, check out my profile for a link to my webpage--I review lots of other shows, too!
