I've been trying to muster some deep thought about the "American Idol" auditions in Omaha, but it wasn't a very interesting telecast — and sent relatively few people to Hollywood. But the blahs from that were made up for by "House," even if it was a Christmas episode airing off-season (since Fox obviously hoarded some episodes for later use if the strike dragged on — as it has). …

The central case was all right, but even better were the funny bits (lots of nice throwaway lines, so many that the promos didn't waste them all). And a fine soundtrack — "Trim Your Tree," one of my faves. Staple Singers. Made me wish for more episodes, although this might not have seemed so fine if I had been seeing "House" week in and week out. But still good.
