Blackadder reference in House

topic posted Fri, February 9, 2007 - 8:22 PM by 
Does anyone in here watch House? (I CANNOT get enough of Hugh Laurie.) Did anyone notice the *incredibly* brief Blackadder reference in one of the episodes? I'm not going to describe it because I want to see how many people noticed it. If you did, PM me with the details (*don't* post them in here, or you'll spoil the fun!), and I'll tally and post the results (if there are any). And no cheating (see previous "you'll spoil the fun" reference)! :)

      "Yup, we caught it! (shhhhh)"

      Okay, so PM me with the details! :) (Not just for verification, but to make sure there isn't a different one that I missed.)

        Unfortunately I can't remember what it was, but remember lauging uproariously at this little throwaway line that only fans would catch.

          "little throwaway line"

          Hmmm... so it was a line of dialog? If so, then that means there are at least *two* Blackadder references. :)

          Okay, I don't want to keep people in suspense and no one's PM'd me, so I'll divulge. It was an episode in season 2 when Wilson was staying with House because he separated from his wife. He and House are sitting on the couch, and one of the two is checking the digital cable TV to see what's on. (You know how you press "menu" or something, and it shows a grid of what's playing on several channels at once.) It showed the TV screen with the grid for probably about half a second, and most of the channels had some kind of special pay program (which is what Wilson and House end up discussing because Wilson thought it was strange, but I don't remember what it was), but about halfway down the screen it said "Blackadder." My eyes snapped right to it.

          Okay, that's mine. :) What's yours? Oh, damn, you said you can't remember. Think, man, think!
