House episode meme

Snurched from spacefall.

Using the electronic TV listings source of your choice, obtain a list of programmes with 'house' in the title or subtitle, then write a plot outline for an episode of House, MD inspired by that title (perhaps drawing on the synopsis for guest characters and other inspiration).

Delta House - House overdoses on painkillers and has a dream about his descendant Gregri who succeeds as a diagnostician despite his lowly grade. His patients include Space Commander Travis (headaches due to eyestrain) and Vila Restal who has a puzzling array of symptoms.

Desperate Housewives - House goes home for a Thanksgiving family reunion and the big snark guns are brought out during grace around the table. The women in the family are as renowned for their sarcasm as the men and several injuries occur when the multiple arguments come to blows and inappropriate use of cutlery--and the cry goes up for a doctor in the house.

Dog House - a dog follows House in the park and refuses to go away. House is considering putting it down until he reads that dogs can sniff out autism and breast cancer, though his efforts to train the dog in the latter cause problems with Cuddy and several patients.

Little House on the Prairie - A flashback episode to House as a child in the Midwest. When he successfully diagnoses a local farmer as having a severe gopher allergy, he is inspired to become a doctor and decides to practise on his friends, family, and assorted livestock. Note that the experimental cow breast implant scene is not recommended for sensitive viewers.

The House of Windsor (AKA Buck House) - Impressed by his reputation, the Queen hires House but he has to contend with the hostile Prince of Wales who wanted a naturopath who can speak plant. Warning: contains corgis and stiff upper lips.

Wodehouse Playhouse - no, he wouldn't--to Cameron's disappointment.

(*snerk*)

I dare you to write this.

Nooooooo!

I'm not sure I can write House.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Oh, but you must! Put it up for the next finish-a-thon and see if it doesn't get the votes. ;-)

*snerk* I can so see that! :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't put it past him.

[communicator.livejournal.com]

Hilarious. I compltely agree I'd like to read Delta House. Or even better, watch it, if you can arrange that :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

But then I'd have to study House's speech patterns. I'm not sure I can do him without that.

How about Hector's House>/i>?

House is transported back through time and finds himself under the walls of Troy, where Achilles is about to slay Hector. He notices a weakness in Achilles' heel and, after interviewing most of the Achaean lords, deduces that it is the result of an over-anxious mother's attempts at home medication. He prescribes vicodin which, by reducing Achilles' pain, also kills off his homicidal tendencies. Hector and Achilles negotiate a peace treaty, the Achaeans sail home, and, after House vanishes back to the 21st century, the Trojans conclude he is a god. Hector, now King of Troy, establishes a temple in his honour under the cult-title of Asklepios.

You can always be relied on to provide a mything link. :)

Brava! I don't think anyone can do better than that.

How about Hector's House?

kalypso_v has answered too well for me to attempt that one. I've never heard of it. Not that I know what most of mine are; I've only seen the second and the last. [notices link amd follows] Huh! Very cute, esp ZaZa, and another French import like The Magic Roundabout.

[jhall1.livejournal.com]

Yep. I only managed to see a few of the programmes myself, unfortunately. I don't know whether they did the same thing with it as Eric Thompson (father of Emma, BTW) so brilliantly did with Magic Roundabout, of writing a completely new plot and dialogue that still fitted in with the pictures.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I heard about that (but didn't know he was Emma's father). People said they were on drugs.

[toft-froggy.livejournal.com]

ROFLMAO. These are brilliant.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I had fun thinking them up.

The House of Eliot: Pathology is the cruelest specialty?

When cracking a cold one doesn't mean having a beer.

*spittakes, dies laughing*

I know just enough about this fandom to find that HILARIOUS.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone got that one. :-D

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! I particularly liked Wodehouse Playhouse. And of course you must write the B7 crossover. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

[whimper] I'm not sure I'll get my finish-a-thon finished.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Yes, but that's allowed for in the rules. You don't default if you're not done, you just post what you've got.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I can't do that. I have to finish it.

I'd better go and do some now...
