#14 House and his ill-temperment took out the wormhole jumping Sliders but can he eliminate the General Lee from #19 Dukes of Hazzard or will he fall like a hooker on Melrose Place.

14. HOUSE, M.D.




vs.


19. THE DUKES OF HAZZARD

[Lucky]

Its gonna piss me off SO much when House loses.

[Jack Quinn]

Dukes, easy. Boss Hogg is a better jerk than House

[Lucky]

Yeah. Too bad he wasn't a good actor, compelling character, part of an even halfway intelligent program, or anything more than a retarded cliche on a stupid live action cartoon.

God I'm going to be so fucking pissed off.

[DevSop]

So Lucky doesn;t kill himself and maybe he'll return the favor for my faves in this round (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Mars, Heroes)

Truth!!

And come on... it's MIKE TOMLIN for God's sake! Vote for HOUSE!!

[Krydor]

I went Dukes, just because Lucky will kill himself.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

House deserves much better then this.

And House isn't? A sarcastic, smartass, pill popping doctor who can solve cases with a mere glance at the patient. Ok.

[Lucky]

Right, whatever. House is a cartoon. He's not a troubled addict with an engaging mind and a sad history. He doesn't have a debilitating injury which has destroyed his life and given him a demented purpose. And which doesn't have a major twist of an origin story behind it. He doesn't have a whole cast of peers and employees who have their own list of flaws and strengths that make them human and interesting. Its just like Dukes. Fuck this. This matchup is just pure retarded. Fuck it.

[Jack Quinn]

I am glad we are on the same page here!

[Stu]

Let me get this straight. Dukes of Hazzard is about a pair of redneck cousins who constantly break speeding laws in their highly recognisable car, run moonshine, resist arrest, causing the destruction of police property in the process, and somehow DON'T get locked away for multi-year stretches? Oh, and sometimes, they shoot flaming arrows at people?

Meanwhile, House stars my on-screen father. Easy choice.

[Krydor]

Will House diagnose the mystery illness?

Will the Dukes make that jump?

Oh, the drama.

[Stu]

I think people are taking the "Drama" thing too literally. Drama is anything that's not predominantly a comedy, as far as I'm concerned.

[Lucky]

And House has actually failed to diagnose the mystery illness a number of times. And there's plenty of other elements of the show that add drama. But how the hell the "drama" of House can be called into question against this piece of shit cartoon?

You know, the Children of the '80s being unwaveringly devoted to everything they grew up with wouldn't bother me as much if the '80s didn't seem to be damn near unable to produce anything of any lasting quality.

If you excuse me, I'm gonna go listen to some Rick Springfield or Flock of Seagulls.

[Jack Quinn]

and in 20 years is House going to stand up? Who knows.

I don't like House because the main character is fucking annoying. I enjoyed Dukes of Hazard. House is just as much a caricature of a human being as any of the Duke boys.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Don't worry - the children of the 80s will wind up voting for Lost to win when it's all said and done.

[Jack Quinn]

not this one

well unless it is up against House or Veronica Mars or something

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Well of course not - I meant everyone but you. You were too busy writing letters to Chris Chavis

[Jack Quinn]

Dear Penthouse Letters

I never thought I would meet a wrestler, but one day I was in the high school gym, and there he was.........

[The Jewish Cunthead]

And I know that has nothing to do with Dukes vs. House, I just wanted to call you a homo.

[Jack Quinn]

hey, YOU are the one with the wide stance. So I've been told. Now stop hijacking the thread

[DevSop]

Moose, hypothetically, let's say you're correct and House is as much of a caricature as Bo and Luke Duke. Take the main stars away from both shows and House's ensemble is one of the best on TV. Omar Epps and Jennifer Morrison alone are outstanding supporting actors in their portrayal of Foreman and Cameron. Wilson and Cuddy both bring a ton to the table, and even in the new season Olivia Wilde's 13 and Kal Penn's Kumar are terrific additions to the cast. But let's keep thinking that Boss Hogg, Rosco, and Cooter aren't cartoon characters brought to life.

I somehow doubt House will be remade into a movie in twenty years so bad it borders on unintentional parody.

[DevSop]

But Dane Cook is TEH FUNNY. Moose probably loves the Dane Cook.
