Since House is now showing on a new night - Monday - I wanted to go ahead and post this up a day early as a reminder. Here is the description for tomorrow (April 28) night's episode of House. The show starts at 9:00 PM ET.
HOUSE QUESTIONS THE SINCERITY OF A PATIENT
WHO’S TOO NICE TO BE HEALTHY
ON "HOUSE" MONDAY, APRIL 28, ON FOX
First Original Episode Since February
House suspects an emergency room patient has a bigger problem then the E.R. initially diagnosed based on the fact that the patient is too nice. A skeptical House questions the patient’s sunny disposition as the team tries to get to the bottom of his illness, but disagrees with House that niceness is a symptom. Meanwhile, House and Amber are at odds about how much time they each get to spend with Wilson, and Cuddy demands House give his team performance reviews in the “No More Mr. Nice Guy” episode of HOUSE airing Monday, April 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/ PT) on FOX. (HOU-413) (TV-14 D, L)

From The Canadian Press:
He also notes that everyone will be back for the fourth season.
Canadian-born creator and executive producer David Shore fought to get "House" back on the air this spring, one of the reasons the final four episodes of the season have been shifted to Monday nights. Shore and executive producer Katie Jacobs lobbied the network to "make sure we would be allowed to finish it up for this season," he explained over the phone from L.A. this week.
"We really wanted to finish this story."
The story, of course, was how Shore and his writers shook up their hit series in its fourth season by sidelining some characters and introducing several new ones. "House" regulars Omar Epps (Eric Foreman), Jennifer Morrison (Allison Cameron) and Jesse Spencer (Robert Chase), who, for three seasons, had formed his posse of diagnostic subordinates, all had their roles substantially reduced when Dr. House's dream team was split up at the end of last season.

The Star has an interview with Hugh Laurie for the "Street Kings" film, but it does touch on House a little bit.
“I hate to shatter any illusions about my place in the pecking order but very few actors, apart from Denzel Washington, get to choose from a big supermarket shelf of possibilities,” Laurie said.
“The rest of us are trying to find things we can do, and I hadn’t set out to find a noirish police thriller.”

Because his character in "Street Kings" does not shoot a gun in the film, Hugh Laurie had no reason to attend gun training, as some of the other actors did. "I desperately wanted to go. But I'm sort of a desk-bound beaurocrat who feels that gunplay on the streets is beneath him. I was wearing a holster with a gun, but I never got to touch it," he told contactmusic.com.
I am very proud to announce that my new book, "Managing Online Forums: Everything You Need to Know to Create and Run Successful Community Discussion Boards", is now available and can be purchased online at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and other retailers. If you are in the United States, it is being stocked nationally at Barnes & Noble locations, as well. You can check stock status at the closest store to you on their website.
"Managing Online Forums" is the result of my years of experience running online communities and forums. The book is definitely appropriately titled: it is truly a forums management book, but with principles that can apply to other types of online communities, like blogs, as well. From creating the infrastructure of the community and setting and enforcing policies to dealing with troublemakers and managing staff. This isn't a programming book or a software book, this is all about managing the actual forums.
Matthew McGough, writer/legal consultant on Law & Order and author of Bat Boy: Coming of Age with the New York Yankees had the following to say about the book:
"Patrick O'Keefe has run one of the most prominent Yankees fan sites online, and he knows of what he writes. Managing Online Forums - like his YanksBlog.com - is full of insight and information, well-written, and very deserving of a wide readership."
Here is a look at the chapters featured in the book:
Chapter 1. Laying the Groundwork
Chapter 2. Developing Your Community
Chapter 3. Developing Guidelines
Chapter 4. Promoting Your Community
Chapter 5. Managing Your Staff
Chapter 6. Banning Users and Dealing with Chaos
Chapter 7. Creating a Good Environment
Chapter 8. Keeping It Interesting
Chapter 9. Making Money
It also features three helpful appendices at the end that include online resources, a glossary and blank, general templates that you can use as a basis for your own user guidelines, staff member guidelines and contact templates (pre-written messages for you and your staff to use when contacting members).
For more information on the book, including a full table of contents, advance praise, interviews and reviews, an excerpt, downloadable document templates, an example forums setup and more, please check out the book website.
Thank you for reading and for visiting DrGregHouse.com.
Sincerely,
Patrick

thisisnottingham.co.uk has thoughts from the director of "Street Kings", David Ayer, on Hugh Laurie's performance in the film.
"I've been a fan of Blackadder growing up, and I went and had breakfast with him to talk to him to try to get him on board. I thought maybe the audience would like to see him with a shave. Everyone thinks he's House on his show now, but my task was to have him be not House. And he did an incredible job. He's the classic bureaucrat, the secret policeman, the man in flannel that secretly runs the world."
