Who would forget this American sitcom, FRIENDS? For the record, this is the all-time favorite TV show not only in America but all over the world that this was dubbed in different languages just to satisfy its loyal viewers from across the world. 

According to Wikipedia, Friends received positive reviews throughout its run, becoming one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. The series won many awards and was nominated for 63 Primetime Emmy Awards. The series, an instant hit from its debut, was also very successful in the ratings, consistently ranking in the top ten in the final primetime ratings. Many critics now regard it as one of the finest shows in television history, including TV Guide, which ranked it No. 21 on their list of the 50 greatest TV shows of all time. In 1997, the episode "The One with the Prom Video" was ranked No. 100 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All-Time. The series made a large cultural impact, which continues today. The Central Perk coffee house that was featured prominently in the series has inspired various imitations throughout the world. The series continues in syndication worldwide. All 10 seasons are available on DVD. The spin-off series Joey was created to follow up with the series after the finale. 

Friends cast on a pictorial

By this hilarious and witty sitcom, I believe that we have not forgotten the quotes and lines as well that really made us crack into pure laughter. With the rumors that's been going around about FRIENDS to reunite in a movie, though not confirmed yet, this for sure will earn Blockbuster hits big time! Fans from different nations and tongue will definitely go running to cinemas to once again see their favorite casts on the big screen. I hope that this will not be a rumor at all but a sure movie sooner or later.

The FRIENDS casts bowing for the last time on the set.

By the way, who among the Friend's casts is your most favorite? For me, I'd pick Joey, Chandler and Phoebe! They sure have nailed their character and even became popularized by it.

House: American Series Review

Lately, I started watching House, an American medical drama series which started filming last 2004 and is still aired on TV particularly on Fox Channel. It's one of the most popular American serial which a lot of viewers around the globe enjoy.

The title itself is driven from its main cast,  Dr. Gregory House , a genius in medical diagnostics which is played by Hugh Laurie. He is known to be a witty yet straight forward kind of doctor who is not very friendly with patients and colleagues. His personality in this movie is funny for me. I like how he pisses his co-doctors and patients and that he would have clashes with fellow physicians by his controversial diagnostic readings. He'd rather disobey administration policy and argue with  Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein),  who plays as the Dean of Medicine and Hospital Administrator, with simple issues like wearing doctor white coat in the hospital than being asked frequently why a doctor like him is limp. But  unfortunately, for the administration, they could not afford to fire Dr. house for he is the best doctor they have in the hospital. He may have this personality that not everybody likes him, but he has this true friend in Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean). 

Dr. Gregory house is leading a team of genius diagnosticians namely  Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer), Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morisson), and Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps). I love it whenever they would discuss difficult cases during their meetings. House prefers to study really rare diseases/illnesses. That interests him the most. Their brainstorming of speculations, tests and interviews with the patients are remarkable. I was really focused on one particular episode about a 9 year old girl who's having cancer. The girl's battle with disease seem to end soon enough because her death is awaiting her. But Dr. House and his fellow diagnosticians did their best to save the girl from dying for at least few more years with her mother and even more and more years. This episode is very breathtaking! I was holding my every breath with the outcome of their treatment. They resorted to this procedure of temporarily shutting down the girl's body, (in short, be dead for minutes), and remove the third of her blood, freeze her to the best they could and drill the girl's skull to find out something in her brain. This procedure is tricky and could kill the girl for they only had 60 seconds to do it and reboot the girl back to life. Thank God that the procedure was successful. The girl was okay and came walking out of the hospital the next day. I was awed of this episode! 

I'm still on its 2nd Season and according to Wikipedia, its now on its 8th Season which will premiere on October 11, 2011. So, I will continue watching this. It may be too bad that I discovered house this late, (which DVDs were piled in our collection for a long time now) but no regrets because I discovered something really worth watching for. Giddy yet yourself? Well, grab some copies for yourself then!

LIE TO ME

These past few days, I've seen myself indulging into this American TV series called, "Lie To Me". It got me enjoying because of its very mind provoking concept. Judging each episode's unique stories and cases, one can tell that it's really an awesome series and that the collective works of director, producers and the writers diligently conceptualized it. Not only will it provide lots of informative and useful facts, it also gives awareness to ordinary people on how to detect a lie by himself. I always love it when Dr. Cal Lightman, the main cast who mastered in deception career and a very excellent human lie detector, resolves a case and turns complicated situations into a smooth pace of conclusions. Not mentioning the perfect scientific explanations that each episode is trying to imply.

Do you want to detect when a person lies to you? I'd recommend you watching this series! I guarantee that upon watching one episode, you'll learn basic tips on how to know that a person lies. Well, I just couldn't wait for the Season 3 to be available at my favorite DVD stall. ;)
