Real Person (Actor, lead of House TV series)

暂无详细介绍

This image is a screenshot of a public exchange on X (formerly Twitter) between user Janet Murray and actor Hugh Laurie, famous for playing the lead role of Dr. Gregory House on the hit medical drama *House*. First, Janet Murray tweets that she has just started watching season 1 of *House*, pointing out the repetitive narrative formula of each episode: a patient presents with a mysterious illness, House misdiagnoses them multiple times, the patient nearly dies twice, House is threatened with termination, then he has a last-minute unexpected idea that leads to the correct diagnosis, saving the patient and his job. She ends her tweet questioning how the show ran for 8 seasons with this repetitive structure. Hugh Laurie replies with a dry, sarcastic yet polite clapback: he jokes that the team tested episodes where House got the diagnosis right immediately, but those episodes were only 6 minutes long and network NBC rejected them, and episodes where patients died were unpopular with audiences. He compares the show's use of a repeated core structure to other respected artists' work, citing JS Bach's Goldberg Variations built on the same chord progression, Frida Kahlo's dozens of self-portraits, and sculptor Henry Moore's repeated motifs. He notes that if a viewer only sees the repetitive medical plot beats, the show was not made for them, and ends with a snarky line saying he looks forward to Murray releasing her first novel. The humor comes from Laurie's clever, understatedly cutting response to a shallow, dismissive critique of his most famous work.
