Alright, I wanted to try something a little different in the ol’ Movies/TV forum. It will probably go the way of all my other failed endeavours (that reminds me, I’ve gotta finish Rate the Musician) unless this actually seems to garner some interest, but hey, can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
That probably wasn’t the most relevant adage I could have used.
Anyway, this little event is something I call
Head To Head. Essentially, we’ll look at two comparable (if not nearly identical) characters from different shows, and whoever winds up with the most points “officially” wins, but the idea is to get you guys to offer some input too, to “stimulate discussion”, if we really want to put it stupidly. Also, I will want suggestions for future match-ups, since I am sparkless and indifferent.
All clear? Very well. In that case, huhhhhhlettttt’ssssssssgetreadytovirtuallytalkaboutrumbliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

| Held unrequited love for hot young nurse, but ex-wife is a snarky board member who demanded enough “revenge” sex to prove that Cox is a demon in the sack before sticking around and having two children with him. What a hound. … 1 point

Well, I’ll be gummed. The very first Head to Head has finished in a draw, with both House and Cox tallying 4 points each. Sometimes, angry medical veterans are too lovable to accurately separate. Rock-hard on the outside, both doctors have shown a softer marshmallow core and have proven to viewers everywhere that no man… should be an island :’(
